How to insert an Image

  1. Resize the image to the size it will end up being on the site
  2. If necessary, rename the image to something logical – i.e. new-york-skyline.jpg – NOT IMG_039.JPG
  3. Click the “Add Media” button
  4. Locate image on our hard drive
  5. Be sure to fill in the ALT TEXT & CAPTION fields

How to insert a Video
Simply paste the video URL into the post editor. Make sure that the URL is in it’s own line and not clickable (hyperlinked).
If you are using visual editor, then WordPress will immediately fetch the embed code and display the video inside post editor.
