Page Layout--moving photos

[TradSpirit]

I've been using Weebly for about a year. Recenlty I added a blog to my website and want to layout blog posts with text and photos. I cut and pasted all of my text with no trouble.

I added one photo and placed it where I wanted, but when I try to add additional photos, it only lets me put them at the top or bottom of the page, or adds a column divider that I don't want.

All I want to do is drag photos around within the text block like I would do in MS Word. I can add a photo, but it must go only at the top or bottom of page.

When I grab photos by the "grab bar" bar and drag them to where I want them, they simply spring back to top or bottom

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks for your help.

Hello Ron! Sorry for the confusion. You aren't doing anything wrong there. A Text element will only contain a single image. Other elements will be placed around it.

It's likely best to look at Text elements as for holding paragraphs and sections of text, rather than a section to enter all of the text at once. That will help greatly with making formatting around the text easier to work with. It will also let you insert more images, or let parts of text fit around other elements without compressing the entire body of the work.

Thank you, Queso. So if I'm understanding correctly, I should build large bodies of text, such as entire blog posts by using smaller modules that might include one text element and one image element,and so on.

You've got it, Ron! I usually move to a new Text element between paragraphs, myself, but there's plenty of flexibility depending on your style and preferences.
