News Blog Images

Images can be included in a newsletter post/story.  They can be included in the body of the post/story or in the (paralax) header.  Images used in the header are also used as the image on the post/story listing page.

Using Galleries in Stories

Some stories benefit from multiple images — but placing multiple full images on a page can cause the post/story  pageto be very long — forcing the related stories links to be far down on the page.  Using a gallery will shorten the page.  There are a few options for including a gallery on a story/post.

note: galleries work best when images are all the same size

Gallery without captions

  • good for including images in a slideshow format within the story
  • does not show captions
