As a support manager our job is to help our client with Compendium's blogging software. Once question that we've gotten a lot this week is about the properties when you upload a image - so below are some brief descriptions.
Image Description:
A text field that will assign the alt tag, image title and hover text for the image. These descriptions are searched by search engine crawlers and while they will not affect the compending of the blog post, it will aid your SEO efforts when keywords are used. Also, adding an Image Description improves the webpage’s accessibility for the visually impaired.
Width & Height:
Assign the size of the image in pixels. Ratio proportions are locked, to ensure the image is shrunk or stretch proportionately. By clicking on the padlock icon ratio proportions can unlocked, to allow custom sizing. When the padlock icon is closed, ration proportions are locked and when padlock icon is open, ratio proportions are unlocked. Also, note that images are resized to a lower resolution to thereby speed load times
Padding–Horizontal:
Is the spacing on the left and right of the image
Padding–Vertical:
Is the spacing on the top and bottom of the image
Border:
Assigns a black border. Select a number to modify the border width
Align:
Assigns the alignment of the image in relationship to the text or how to do text wrapping– options include Left, Bottom, Middle, Right, Top.
ALSO .... if you have a question you can search Compendium's Knowledgebase RIGHT NOW - or shoot us an email or fill out the online submission form.
