Inserting pictures:

Before inserting any pictures onto your website, you must save it to a dedicated folder in your computer. Once saved, it is easy to add the pictures/graphics by simply clicking on the picture icon above picture icon.

  • To copy a picture off the internet, simply click on it with your mouse, right-click and choose "save as", then choose a folder on your computer to save it into.
  • If creating your own pictures using a drawing tool such as PAINT (found in your Program folder under Accessories), the best file type to save pictures in is .jpg or .jpeg, but I think XSitePro does import any file type quite easily! You will need to test and see.
  • IMPORTANT: when naming a file/picture, only use small letters (not capitals) and have NO spaces.
    Eg. My dog.jpg,     correct version is
    mydog.jpg       or     my_dog.jpg      or       my-dog.jpg.
  • also, keep the picture sizes to website size, not poster size as it will take up too much space on your page and storage site.
