Customizing the content of your blog post
a. Adding a Hyperlink

b. Adding a Media file
1. When adding or editing your blog post, position the cursor where you want the media to be inserted then click the Add Media button.
2. You can either add media files by uploading the file or using the file found in your Media Library.
a. Add Media (Upload) - Click Select Files then choose the file you want to upload then after the media file is successfully uploaded, click the Insert into post button.
b. Add Media (Media Library) - Click the Media Library menu button. Select which file in your media library you want to use. Edit the image title, select how your media file's alignment by clicking the Alignment drop-down button, select where you'd like your file to link to by clicking the Link To drop-down button, select how big/small size your media file will appear then click the Insert into post button.
Note:
*Alignment:
1. None- the media file is on top and the text is below it.
2. Right- the media file is gonna be to the right and the text is wrapped around to the left.
3. Center- the media file is gonna be in the center and the text is wrapped on either side.
4. Left- the media file is gonna be to the left and the text is wrapped around to the right.
*Link to options:
1. Media file- will link to your media file (i.e. PDFs, flyers, handbooks, forms, calendars, etc.). Not recommended for images because anyone might download and save it.
2. Attachment Page- serves as an intermediary page where you can download and save files. Not also recommended because people will have to click twice in order to gain access to the files thus making it more confusing.
3. Custom URL- will link to another URL or content in your site.
4. None- this makes the media file non-clickable and non-downloadable.
*Size- Medium 300 x 200 is the recommended size.

(Note: The newly-added page does not automatically show up in your homepage as part of your menu or sidebar buttons so please let our implementation concierge know if you want to add it/replace another page in the menu bar or the other buttons. Adding the newly-created page to the menu bar or as a button will only takes minutes but replacing another button with it will usually takes 1-3 business days since our design team still need to design the button specific to that page.)
