Insert side-by-side photos in a college profile:
- Choose two photos, ideally of identical size, ideally ~800px wide. Place cursor on blank line in college profile edit page (Visual tab).
- Media -> Add New.
- Select a photo from the Library or click “Upload Files” and upload your photo.
- Under Attachment Details, delete Title, add Alt Text, select Alignment: None, and Link to: Media File.
- Click Insert Into Page.
- Click the photo, click No Alignment.
- Place cursor after photo, click Add Media, and choose upload another photo.
- Click the second photo, click No Alignment.
- If photos are not identically sized, do some algebra, switch to text tab, and enter ‘ style=”width:XX%” ‘ as an attribute for each photo. Make the two percentages add up to 97% – allows default 1.5% for space between, and 1.5% for margin of error. Using % units allows auto resizing according to changes in viewer window width.
- Click Update.
- In black band at top of page, click “View Page.”
- Click Edit at bottom of post to make adjustments as necessary.
