Media Module

The Media Module is used to manage your images and files that you can reference throughout your website. The Media Module allows you to upload, resize, crop, and rename images. You will see a small thumbnail of every resource, along with its filename, path and dimensions.

Simply use the Insert/Edit Image ICON from the Content Module to insert an image from your Media Module. You will need the Path to insert and image.

Keep in mind that most cameras today take very high resolution images that are not friendly to website pages. There is a built in optimizer in the Media Module that will attempt to reduce these large files, but you may need to adjust your image sizes before uploading to CrazySimpleCMS. There are plenty of free tools available.

The ideal images for website use would be 72 dots per inch (DPI). Computer monitors can only display images at 72 PDI, so if you don't optimize for the web, you are only slowing down your web page.  Most cameras will save images at 300 or 600 DPI and can take several seconds to load.  This may not sound like much, but the load time of a web page is very important, and most web pages have numerous images that need to be downloaded in order to display.
