Based on the questions we have got, here are a few tips for you:

1. How to resize a big picture to a smaller size.

Use “paint” program that comes with all Windows systems. Open it, load the picture. The picture size (see the pixels, width x height) will be shown at the bottom (this is with Windows 7’s paint. Other versions probably display this information somewhere else). Select “Resize”
(on Windows 7 paint, this is on the ribbob bar under “Home”. For other versions, it is probably under “Edit” or “Tool”. You can resize by percentage or by pixels. That is it. Save the new picture and you have it.

2. If I upload the picture into the media library, how do I find the URL link for the picture?

Go to Media Library, mouse over the picture. You will see a context menu with “Edit |Delete Permanently |View” showing up. Click on “Edit”. There the fil URL link is shown next to “File URL”. You can copy the link there.

3. How do I put my picture in a “text” widget?

Add “Text” widget. Enter whatever you want to “Title”. In the large area, enter the following:

<img src=”http://blog.newtonchineseschool.org/wangweidong/files/2011/03/wwang.jpg” alt=”” width=”190″ height=”180″ />

Replace the link part with your picture link. Otherwise you will all look like me 🙂

Save and you are done.
