HOW TO ADD NEW IMAGES
Step 1: To add additional images to the carousel, choose Add Gallery/Images from the Gallery Menu
Step 1
Step 2: To ensure that your new photos end up in the correct gallery, select Carousel from the drop down menu.
A module on the homepage snoops around for any images placed into the Carousel gallery. It takes all of these and creates the slideshow you see.
With this selected, Un-tick the box next to “Scale images to max width 800px or max height 600px” As this will prevent the images from filling all of the Carousels area for people using wider monitors.
Now you can select images to upload from your computer.
Step 2
Step 3: To add text which appears above the image, you must fill in the Description box below. The Title box dictates what text is shown when a user hovers their mouse over the image, so it isn’t super important.
Step 3
META DATA
Meta Data is a scary sounding word that masks a very simple process. Basically, Images are ignored by search engines like Google as they contain no readable content. Using the Tags box next to each image, you can add some keywords that describe the image. It could be “Ruislip, Carpets, Pergo, Carpet Fitting, 20% of Carpets”.
By doing this, you’re essentially telling the website what the image is all about. The website can make sense of the image and as a result, when Google comes snooping to see what this website is all about it can get an extra bit of information. And this extra bit of information can place you higher in the search engines.
