1.  Login using your LSNet username and password.

2.  Select "Create Content" and for content type, choose "Image."  When the Create Image page appears, give your image a title.

3. Choose from the list of image galleries with the appropriate tag(s). For example, I saved this image at left in the image galleries "Humor", "Children", "History", and "Books."  Hold down the "SHIFT" key to select multiple galleries.

4.  Hit the Browse button, search your computer for the image you want, and upload it to the LSNet server.  Remember your image filename so that you can find it on the server later.

5.  Make sure the "Promote to Front Page" option under "Publishing Options" at the bottom is unchecked, unless you want to publish only an image to the web site with no text!  Click "Submit."

6.  Select "Create content" again, choose Blog, Story, or Page, depending on what you're submitting.

7.  Open Rich Text Editor (Fckeditor program) and put all of your text in the box, either by directly entering it or by cutting-and-pasting it from somewhere else.  When you are finished:

8.  Click the little postcard on the FCKEditor toolbar, "Insert/Edit Image."

9.  A window will appear with "Image Properties" at the top.  Ignore all the Latin in the preview box.  Next to the text box labeled "URL" click "Browse Server."  This will make the "Resources Browser" appear with a file folder at the top and a list of all of the images in the image galleries on our server.  Scroll down through the list until you find your filename and click on it. The server may have saved several versions (icon, thumbnail, inline) but the easiest to work with is your original image, "yourfilename.jpg.".

10. Now the Resources Browser window disappears and you are back to the box with "Image Properties" at the top.  Your image should appear in the preview pane. From now on, you can reopen the "Image Properties" box by right-clicking on the image and choosing "Image Properties."

11.  In the "Width" and "Height" boxes in your "Image Properties" window, you can now change the size of your image (pixels by pixels).  Always decrease and increase by the same number of pixels for width and height to avoid distorting your image.  If you mess up, the blue curly arrow on the right will reset your image at the original size.  You can also enter a number of pixels for a border, horizontal space, and vertical space around your image.

12.  To determine where in your post image appears, click on the arrow next to the "Align" box.  My personal favorites are "Left" and "Right."  for an inline image. In this article, I have chosen "Left," which makes the image appear on the top left with text wrapping around it to the right.  If you experiment with different alignments, the latin text will reappear in your preview pane showing you how the text will look, but there will be no Latin in your final submission.

13.  When you are happy with the size and position of the image, click OK.

14.  Now you are back at the FCKEditor window and your image should appear.

15.  Enter and format your text just as if you were using a word processor, then hit OK.

16.  REMEMBER, ALWAYS PREVIEW BEFORE CLICKING "SUBMIT." Then you can go back into the Rich Text Editor (FCKEditor) and make any necessary changes.

Note on the image/artwork:  The Old Woman in a Shoe image is from the Wikipedia entry on the nursery rhyme.  It is a folding card from 1883 and is housed in the Noel Wisdom Collection, Special Collections Department, in the University of South Florida library in Tampa. I'm just crazy for Victorian art.
