Media Library

All images on the web site are stored in the Media Library which is a folder on the web server. To see all images on the web site, go to the Dashboard and click on Media then click Library.

There are two display formats available: list and grid. Click on one of the two icons in the upper left corner of your screen.

In List view, you can click on a column heading to sort all images by the content of that column. If you click on the column heading a second time, the sort will be reversed.

Images are stored in folders for each month / year by the date uploaded. This may help in locating images.

When images are uploaded, they are automatically compressed by our Short Pixel software. Compression is essential because large images take a long time to download when someone is trying to view a page with several images. The Media library listing shows the amount of compression.

You can search for an image by entering a search term in the box in the upper right of the screen. The search will look in the  title, caption and description of each image. Note that the search does NOT search in the file name.

You can also create filters so that only those images that meet the filter criteria are shown. For example, in the “Any category” box at the top of the screen, click to see the list of available media categories. Select one then click Filter.

Users should know that the format of the listing can be changed. Additional columns, sort options and alterative views can be added. Please contact the webmaster.
