Hi,

Today I added an image of the new text to the basic page. I’ve down what I can to try to scale it down (select image, configuration, media, image styles, try changing scale) and nothing seems to affect the size of the image.

Sorry ran out of time today. Can you make is smaller and let me know what you did. I have other images to alter, add, etc.

Thanks very much in advance,

June

Hi, June:

I went into the WYSIWYG toolbar and used Image Properties to resize the picture. I had no issues with changing the size. What browser are you using? If you are using anything other than Firefox or Chrome, that may be the issue. Take a look and see if you can make changes to the picture, especially if you don’t like the size I made it. Let me know if you have any problems.

Best regards,

Carris

Hello,
I just posted a request for help at the YaleSites forum.
However I forgot to say that I would like the second text book under the first text book and the description of the second text book to be to the right of it, center aligned.
Thanks so much in advance!
June
 

Hi, June:

I think the quickest and easiest way to make things line up nicely is to use a separate block for the second book and its description.

Hi, June:

Take a look, I moved the second book to it’s own block. I think it looks nice now, let me know if this works for you. There are other, more complicated was to achieve this layout, but only if you will be adding and changing the Home page news items frequently and also need them to show on other pages. I hope this solves the formatting for you.

Hi, June:

I think this is resolved now in another post.
