GoogleSites: Image Layout and Image Information

Image Placement. When you put an image on a page, you will probably want to CENTER the image. Just click on the image, and from the alignment options L - C - R, choose C-Center.

Image Size. If your image is extra large, you might want to let GoogleSites resize the image for you, by choosing S-M-L for the size. An even better option, though, is to replace the image with an image that you have resized - you can do the Resize Images Tech Tip to learn how to resize images.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Don't try to take a small image and make it large; that will distort the image. Instead, use Google Image Search to find a larger-sized image and then manipulate that image to get the size you want.

Multiple Images. If you want to place multiple images side by side, you will probably want to resize the images first (Resize Images Tech Tip) to make sure they are the same height (it doesn't matter if they are different widths, but side-by-side images should be the same height).

Image Information. You need to have Image Information somewhere on the page, but it does not have to go under the image. In fact, it can be distracting to have the Image Information under the image. Instead, you might want to put it way way way way down at the very bottom of the page; you can even insert a horizontal line (use the Insert menu, and choose Horizontal Line), and then put your image information down there under the horizontal line, away from the main part of the page.
