You can use JCE to upload your images one by one, or you can FTP en masse to /images/stories/. I have no idea why Joomla has a folder called "stories," but I haven't cared enough to find out. If you upload images anywhere but /images/stories/, these images won't appear as "Insert" options in your JCE image manager window.
KEY POINTS
- The image you want to upload must be pre-formatted and pre-sized for it’s intended use and stored on your personal computer. The name of the file canNOT include any spaces or symbols and end in .jpg, .jpeg, .png or .gif. Otherwise, it will not display in some browsers.)
- Optimize your images for download speed. Your website cannot be too fast, and most websites are too slow.
UPLOAD + INSERT
- Place your cursor in the editor window where you would like the image to go. You are now ready to upload the image.
- Click the
 icon to launch the Image Manager window.
- Click the
 and upload the image after selecting it from your computer.
- Scroll in the list and identify your image by clicking on it so that it highlights. The “Details” window should populate so that you see the image details appear in your window.
- Change the "Alignment" from "left" to "default"
(if you are an advanced CSS scripter, you can play with alignment.
Otherwise, stick with default.
- Change the hspace and vspace if you want there to be less than a 5 pixel padding surrounding your image.
- Click Insert.
-
FTP + INSERT
- After uploading your images via FTP to the images/stories folder (subdirectories ok as well), launch your Image Manager and start with Step 4 above.
