Step 2: Uploading the image
When the page editor is open, click the insert image button.
This will open a popup screen. Once it opens, click the “Select Files” button and find the image file on your computer.
Next the image options need to be set. Give the image (#1 in the image below) a Title. The title shows up when a visitor hovers over the image.
