It is always a good idea to add photos to your content like blog posts. It helps tell the story and reach your community better than the content alone. You can also add a link to the photo. So when your visitor clicks on the photo, it will take them to the web page you link it to. Here is how to add a text link and an image with a link within the body of your blog post.

When adding a blog post, a helpful hint is to change your view to 'Full HTML' for more editing options. The Text Format is found just below the body.

Adding a Text Link

To add a link within the body of the content, highlight the words that you would like to link and then click on the Link icon in the header of the body.
