Adding an image to the editor

To add an image to the editor is also a very easy thing to do. Just remember to resize the image before uploading, because if you resize it with the editor, it will still be the original size when you uploaded it...

So, in the editor, click where you want the image to be, and click on the Insert/Edit Image button. This will open up the Image Properties dialog. At the top, you will see four tabs (Image Info, Link, Upload and Advanced).

So, to upload a new image, simply click on the Upload tab at the top, which will take you to the Upload section, where you will see the browse button. Go ahead and click the browse button, and select the image on your hard drive, then click OK.

After clicking OK, you will see the path for the image is written in the text box to the left of the browse button. Now, very important, click on the Send it to the Server button - this will start the upload of the file, and store it online on your website server. Depending on how big the image is, it can take a few minutes to upload, so be patient!

After successfully uploading, you'll see a message stating that the file has been uploaded successfully. This will automatically take you back to the Image Info tab, and in the Preview box you should see the image that you just uploaded, and the image height and width fields will automatically be filled in. Now click the OK button, and you'll see that you've just successfully added an image to the editor.

Once again, make sure you save!

How to make a link to another website

Making a link to another website with the FCK Editor is a very easy thing to do. Firstly, select the text (or image) you want to make the link, then click on the Insert/Edit Link button, which will open up the Link Dialog Box.

Here you'll see four tabs at the top (Link Info, Target, Upload and Advanced). To make a normal link, make sure you are on the Link Info tab. To make a link to a website, be sure that in the URL drop down box URL is selected. (it is selected by default, so URL should already be selected).

Now, more often than not, the protocol should be set to http:// , so you just have to type in the address from the www part, for example www.rgtwebhosting.com

After typing in the address for the website you want to link to, click the OK button. The selected text should now be a link, just remember to save the changes!
