Hi RY,Sure. Here's how I do it:

1) Save the desired image to your desktop as a .jpg file (or gif, but jpg is better)

2) Go to the Admin Control Panel and click on the 'File Manager' tab

3) Select the 'MAINPAGEPHOTOS' folder in the left hand column

4) Click the 'Browse...' button in the 'Upload New File' frame

5) Locate the desired file on your desktop. Enter 'File Name.jpg' (or .gif) in the 'Save as:' field

6) Click the 'Upload' button, thus uploading the .jpg file to the SCIY 'MAINPAGEPHOTOS' folder

7) Then, go to the 'Edit Article' version of the article you wish to enter the image into.

8) Place your cursor at the point you want the photo to appear and click the yellow 'Insert Image' icon at the top of the 'Article Body' frame

9) Click the 'Choose Image' button at the bottom of the 'File Manager' section, scroll down to the 'MAINPAGEPHOTOS' folder, and open it

10) Locate the .jpg image you uploaded in #6 above and click on it.

11) Lo! The image should now appear at the desired position in the article.

12) Preview the article as usual to confirm its appearance. Then click the 'Publish' button.

This sounds complicated, but after you've done it a couple of times, it's really quite simple ...

Warmly,

Hi RY,

In a previous email, you asked:

>By the way, does there exist any mechanism by which one can include pictures in the comments?

Yes there is. You can also use the method below to post pictures (and other html) into the article excerpts that will appear on SCIY's Main Page.

Here's how I do it:

1) Open the "Post Article" page in SCIY's Admin Control Panel.

2) Use the standard method to post a picture, and any other html aspects, such as inserting a horizontal rule.

3) Then there's a useful little trick implemented on BlogHarbor:

     + Note the yellow smiley face icon located in the bottom right of the Article Body frame.

     + Look to its immediate left for an icon named "Mode: Display"

     + Click it. The text turns into the html for the photo, etc.

4) Copy & paste the html text into the desired comment or excerpt box.

5) Preview in the usual way and when satisfied, post it.

Neat eh?
