Activity #2: Add photos and video

Add photos

Images are added to Drupal when you first upload them for use on a page. After you upload an image, it is stored in your media library and can be used on any other page of your website. You can use the "Upload Images to Image Fields" module on canvas to guide this process.

This image will appear in the upper right corner of your page, above the related content sidebar.
