How to insert a picture into your page NOTICE - These instructions apply to the 2.62 version of the software ONLY. If you have 2.71, these instructions do not apply to you. (Check the footer at the bottom of your store admin to find out what version you have).
You can add an image almost anywhere you can add text within your site context using the built-in HTML editor. This includes Category Descriptions, Pages, Product Descriptions, Popup Window Descriptions.... anywhere there is the HTML editor. Before we start.......... IMPORTANT NOTE: If you receive an error message like this, Do Not Panic!: 404 Not Found for 67.225.153.164/storeadmin/Editor/assetmanager/assetmanager.php?ffilter=image port 80
The reason for this error was described in your initial Welcome Email. The "Insert Image" button within the HTML editor DOES NOT WORK on a Temporary URL. This means 2 things:- You won't be able to use the Image Upload function within the HTML editor until your domain name has been pointed to Shoppe Pro.
- If your domain name has propagated to Shoppe Pro, you MUST access your store admin on your domain url (http://yourdomain.com/storeadmin). If your domain has propagated, but you are still using your temporary store admin address (such as http://67.225.153.164/~username/storeadmin) , the image upload function will still NOT work on this temporary URL. You will need to start accessing your store admin at its permanent address of yourdomain.com/storeadmin.
Okay, let's demonstrate how to insert an image into a page on your website. - Open the page, category, product, or popup page you want to add a picture to and put your cursor in the description area where you want to insert your picture. Then "Click" to leave the cursor there.
- Click the "Insert Image" button. It looks like this:
This will open a popup window on your screen that looks like this:
- Click the Folder Icon. This will open a window that looks like this:
This will bring you back to the following screen, and you will now notice the image path in the top box: 
- Format your image, if you desire, by adding a border, adding some spacing around, or changing its alignment in relation to the text around it. (optional)
- Click "Insert"
- You should now see the image in your description box.
- Position your image, and save your page.
- You're Done!!!
