Adding Images

As a general rule, the NING network can accept JPG, GIF or PNG image files.
These should be no larger than 10MB in size, or approx 500px wide

Want to add a picture to a Blog entry?

1. From the Blog toolbar (located below the title "Entry") click on the Image icon
2. Click the Browse button to Upload an Image
3. Locate the file on your computer and double-click it
4. Click > Options, from here you can choose to -
   Wrap text around image?
   This is pretty self-explanatory, this will align your image either left or right with text wrapping around your image.
   
   Create Thumbnail?
   If you have not already resized your image it's a good idea to use this feature.  You should not use an image more than 500 px wide here - if for some reason you need to show a large image, you should use the Popup Window feature (below).
   
   Popup Window?
   Use this inconjunction with a thumbnail so that TheBurning networkers can click on the thumbnail to view the original size image.  This is great if you have a diagram or large image that you want to add.
   

Adding a Profile Photo or Group Image Icon

When you join our network or create a group you are given the option to add a profile photo or icon.

You can generally use any JPG, GIF or PNG, but the larger the filesize of the image the longer it will take to upload to the TheBurning network.  We suggest that you first resize your graphic to 171 x 171 pixels.
