To add your images to the Media Library (select from menu on left)

Images should be resized before uploading (keep them close to 50KB)

Go to Media > Add New >then upload your image

• Go to Media > Library, click on your image and fill out metadata:
  • You will add a Caption to the image, in MLA 8^th ed style, that attributes the image to its creator, describes the source, medium, location, and other pertinent information. (See Guide to Creating Captions)
  • In the Caption put the title of the work in quotation marks if it is part of a standalone publication (e.g., a frame, panel, feature, or story in the comic book itself such as “Johnny Canuck”) or put the title in italics [ <em>your title goes here</em> ] if it is a standalone publication (e.g., a comic book issue such as Active Comics)

Add Alt Text (i.e., description of image, used by screen readers for the visually impaired)
