There are 2 ways to add pictures to your Waypoint website:

  1. Add a Gallery Viewer component to your page
    • Displays all the pictures from a gallery on the page
    • Allows you to choose how many pictures to show per page. If more than one page is needed, Next, Previous and numeric links appear to allow you navigate the pages.
    • Clicking on a thumbnail will show you the large image.
  2. Add a picture inside a Rich Text Editor
    • Allows you to place individual pictures amongst text on your web page
    • You can choose to show the thumbnail or the large version
    • If you show the thumbnail, you can choose to link it to the large version.

Here's how to perform each of these:

 To add a Gallery Viewer:

  • Log into your website
  • Click Edit Page on the admin menu
  • The Edit Panel on the right has a list of available components that you can add to your page by clicking on them. Click on the Gallery Viewer to add one.
