  • Images
    • These instructions are for adding images within the content of your blog post. If you only want to add a cover or featured image, please see those instructions below.
    • Click the button with a plus sign and type "image" to search for the image block and select it. 
      • Select "Media Library"
        • If you or a team member already uploaded the image to the WP media library, search for and select the image. 
          • Tip: When searching the media library, be sure to select "All Files" on the left side before you search so that wordpress looks through the entire media library. However, if you know which folder the image is in, you can drilldown through the path of image folders to get to your image.
          • Make sure the image has alt text describing what is in the photo, including any text, to meet accessibility requirements.
        • Otherwise, click the Upload Files tab to add your image to the correct media library folder.
          • Under Choose Folder, click on "Uncategorized". In the dropdown, look for "blogs" folder and then select your blog's folder below it.
          • Drag and drop the image from your computer or click "Select Files" and find your image on your computer.
        • Once the image has loaded, you must add alt text describing what is in the image. This is an accessibility requirement for any image that provides readers important context or has text in it. If the image is purely decorative, you can leave it blank.
        • You can also add a caption if you like. Adding the caption to the image in the media library means it will display under the image every time it is used. If you might use the image multiple times and don't always want the caption displayed, you will need to add it to the image block in the post editor instead. 
    • Click on the image to see editing options.
      • Above the image you can:
        • choose an alignment option (left, center, right, text wrap) 
        • crop the image
        • add a hyperlink to the image
        • move the image to a higher or lower position on the page
      • On the right side of the screen you can:
        • add alt text (remember this is required for every photo)
        • edit the image size (select a predetermined size or reduce the size proportionally)
      • Below the image you can add an optional caption.
    • To delete an image:
      • Use one of the following methods:
        • From a blog post, click on an image block and click "replace" if you already have an image added. From there, find the image to delete and click "Delete permanently" (this will be under the image on the right side of the screen).
        • Go to the WP login dashboard and click Media in the left side menu. Find your image by searching or going through the folders and hover over it. Click "Delete permanently"


  • Videos
    • You will need to make sure the video is uploaded to Youtube before following these steps.
      • Click the button with a plus sign
      • Search "Youtube" in the pop-up window and select the Youtube block
      • Add the link to the video you want to embed.
