Insert and Edit Images

Adding an image to a page and editing it on your website is easy.  Here is how to do it:

Adding Images

  1. Navigate to the page where you want to add an image and click the Edit link at the top. 
  2. Click where you want the image inserted in the page's content.
  3. The Add Block icon will show directly to the left of where your cursor is blinking. Press this button.

  4. Select the first "Image" block from the menu.
  5. The computer or device files will display. Navigate to and select the image you want to add. Your image will be inserted into the page.

Edit an Image

Once an image has been added to a page, it can be edited to change its size or position by selecting it and selecting the size <-> button or any of the three justification buttons. These allow for the following options:

  • Size <-> Full = Allow the image to fill the available space.
  • Size <-> Large =  Fill up to 75% of the available space.
  • Size <-> Medium:  Fill up to 50% of the available space.
  • Size <-> Small:  Fill up to 25% of the available space.
  • Justify Left = The image is pushed to the left, and text can wrap around the image to the right.
  • Justify Right = The image is pushed to the right, and text can wrap around the image to the left.
  • Justify Center = The image is centered, but the text will not wrap left or right.
  1. Click the Edit link on the blue admin bar at the top of the page. 
  2. Click on the image you wish to edit.
  3. To change the image size, click the size <-> button and select the size you want.
  4. Use the Left, Right, or Center justify buttons to change the position.
  5. For further edits, select the edit pencil icon.
  6. Publish the page to make it visible to everyone.

Image Release Statement and Form

Do you need one? 

An image release form is required when an image (of a person or persons) will be explicitly used for advertising and promotion. If the person(s) in the photo is the focus of the image to help sell the product, promote a ministry, or advertise a special upcoming event, you need an image release form (see below).

Here is the statement from the Office of General Council – General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists

“Recognizable images of individuals that will be used on Adventist Church Connect or Adventist School Connect sites may only be used after obtaining the written authorization of the subject. If you want to include images of individuals on your site, please download a copy of the NAD Image Release form and have it signed by the subject in the image, or if the individual is a minor, by the minor’s legal guardian before posting the image. Releases are generally not required for newsworthy criticism or comment; however, if you are not a professional used to making such judgments, we advise you to seek legal counsel to avoid copyright infringement or invasion of privacy claims. Releases are also not generally required from people identifiable in a photo of a street or public place as long as the photograph is related to the subject matter of the article AND the identifiable people are NOT the focus of the photo.”

We’ve created an Image Release for you to use. The NAD Leagal team and GC Leagal team reviewed this form.
