Adding an image
To add a thumbnail image to the text box:
First save your image to a webpage such as Picasa or to the Victorian City website. You can also link to images on existing websites but be careful of copyright restrictions.
Then select the relevant text box and choose the Edit HTML option.
Add the following HTML code:
<img src="put the web address of your image here" width="125" height="95">
The width and height need to be in proportion and should not be much bigger than 100 x 100
Click on OK to save the edit and then on Done or Saved in the lefthand pane.
