The AIChE Community Site system allow you to add images and files to most content types. There are also separate content types devoted to images or files. To add images and files to web pages, blog posts, announcements, etc., follow the instructions below.
Adding Images
Upload Image
First you need to upload the image where it says Referenced Images by choosing the file and then selecting upload.
Insert Image
Then, after the image is uploaded. Place your cursor where you want the image to display. Then, click the insert button. Click on the image below to see detail.
Change Image Display Size or Alignment
The web department personally things large images taking up the full width look better and have more impact but if you want to, you can change the the way an image is displayed. After the image is inserted in the body, right click on the image and select image properties. You can change the display of the image here. Note that you need to make sure the aspect ratio is locked (by making sure the lock is closed) so the image doesn't distort. If you mess up, you can always delete and re-insert the image. Click on the image below for more details.
Adding Files
You may occasionally need to add file downloads to your site. Permissable file types are txt, pdf, ppt, pptx, doc, docx, xls, xlsx, and zip. The most common are pdf and word documents. The web department encourages you to use .doc, .xls, and .ppt file names rather than .xls, .xlsx, and .pptx. There have been reports of Internet Explorer users having problems downloading the newer microsoft files types.
Upload the File
