How To Edit Your Post Using the Blue Bar

To get your piece looking A+ worthy, use the blue formatting toolbar.  As you type, you’ll see a blue rectangle pop up to the left of your screen. We’ll go through, icon by icon, to explain the capabilities of this feature:

1. Picture Embed

Want to include a picture in your post? Click on the picture icon.

This dialogue box will pop up on your screen:

If you have the photo available on your computer, go ahead and drag the file over the grey text that says ‘Drag File Here’. You can also manually import the photo by clicking the green ‘choose file’ button.

We have the option for you to sync your Community account to your account on Facebook, Dropbox, Flickr, Google, or Instagram, allowing for easy photo importing. Simply click which site you’d like to use a photo from off to the left of the screen, and click the green ‘connect’ button.

Example: Facebook

Want to post a GIF or photo you found on the web? Click the chain link icon.

Now, copy and paste the URL into the box that says ‘just provide the link’ and click the green search button
Once your photo is loaded, the select button at the bottom right of the screen will turn green. Click it, and you’re all set.

2. YouTube Embed
This feature allows you to embed a youtube video in your post. Simply click the triangle icon, paste in the video’s URL, and click the check mark.
