To add a file or image to your site:

1. Go to Lutherans Online and click "Login" in the left-navigation.
2. Enter your login information and click "Login."
3. Click on "My Site" in the left-navigation to go to your Web site.
4. Go to the page in which you would like to add a file or image.
5. Click "Edit Page."
6. Decide where you would like to insert a file or image, then click "Click to Insert a New Posting Here!"
7. Click on any publishing layout graphic that has a image/file included. You can view different layout sets by using the pulldown menu near the top of the screen and clicking "Preview."
8. Under "Include an image or file in your posting," click "Browse" to locate the file or image on your computer.
9. For "Display image as," if you are uploading an image, choose whether the image should display as a full image, a thumbnail image that will open the full image in a new window when clicked, or just an icon with a link to view the full image.
10. You can optionally change the "Image Width" and "Image Height." If these fields are left blank, the image will default to its normal size. We highly recommend leaving these width and height fields blank, as changing the proportions will distort the image.
    Note: Images uploaded via "Display image as: Image" have a maximum width of 1024 pixels and a maximum height of 768 pixels. Any images submitted that exceed these maximums will be resized to the maximum width and/or height. To display larger images, choose Thumbnail or Attachment in step 9.
11. If you chose a thumbnail image in step 9, you can also set the width of the thumbnail that will automatically be created. The default is 150 pixels.
12. Optionally add a caption underneath the file or image.
13. Fill in other parts of the posting, based on the layout you chose.
14. Click "Continue."

Note: If you are adding a new file to your site, there are maximum file size limits. Click here to read more.

If you would like to use HTML within a text posting to create a link to a file uploaded via Freeform, you will need to copy and paste the System URL of the file displayed in the right column of the "List Freeform Files" page. You can get to this screen from either the "Web Site Manager" or "Freeform Administration" page. Note that the file's System URL will change each time the file is updated. If you are linking to Freeform files from a Freeform page, you only need to use the relative filename and not the System URL name to link to the file.
