Adding an Image

You can add images to both blank and template pages of your web site. Choose an image of your own or select one from SiteBuilder's collection of clip art. Once you add your image, you'll be able to edit, delete, and reposition it anytime.

To add an image:

  1. Click the Image button in the SiteBuilder Toolbar.

    SiteBuilder Toolbar: Image Icon
    SiteBuilder Toolbar: Image Icon

    OR

    Select "Image" in the Insert menu.

    Insert Menu: Image
    Insert Menu: Image

    OR

    Use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Shift+I
  2. In the Choose an Image browser:

    Click the radio button next to "My Images" to select an image on your computer. Click the radio button next to "Clip Art" to select an image from the SiteBuilder Clip Art files.

  3. Use the browser to locate the image you want to use, select it, and then click the OK button.

    Image Browser: My Images

Your image will appear in the middle of the page, highlighted much like an active text box. To move it, click the box and, holding down your mouse button, drag the box to a new location.

To change the size of the image, click on one of the small squares around the box and drag to shrink or expand it.

The larger an image (in file size and actual pixel dimensions), the longer it will take to download into a web browser. Whenever you adjust the dimensions of an image using SiteBuilder, the program automatically optimizes your pictures for the Web, saving it at the smallest possible file size.

Other Ways to Add an Image

You can also add an image to your page by dragging or copying it from your computer's desktop. (Find out how to save an image to your computer.)

To drag an image saved on your computer:

  1. Open the page to which you want to add an image.
  2. Find the image file on your computer and click on it once with the left button of your mouse.
  3. Holding down your mouse, drag the image from your desktop onto your open page in SiteBuilder.
  4. Let go of the mouse button. After a moment, the image should appear on your page, where you can resize or arrange it as needed.

You can use your keyboard to copy an image from your computer or a web page viewed in the Internet Explorer browser and paste it directly into the page you're editing. (Note that copying and pasting will not work with other browsers; only Internet Explorer supports this function.)

To copy and paste an image:

  1. Open the page to which you want to add an image.
  2. Find the image file on your computer, or locate the image in your browser, and click on it once with the right button of your mouse.
  3. Choose "Copy" from the menu that appears.
  4. Right-click once on your open page in SiteBuilder and select "Paste" from the pop-up menu.
  5. Let go of the mouse button. After a moment, the image should appear on your page, where you can resize or arrange it as needed.
