How to add an image in a news item?

Use the screenshot as a guide to see a news item that has just been added and how to add an image (or any type of document:
- see the 'Document' option where red arrow is in the screenshot
- select 'Choose File' and a dialog box will appear that displays files in your local hard disk
- navigate to the image you want to upload and select it
- type in an appropriate title in 'Document title' and 'Submit'.
The system will take any type of image format (like PNG, JPEG, GIF) and document (like PDF). For images it resizes it appropriately i.e. a thumbnail, normal and large image all optimised for the web. The thumbnail will be displayed with the news item and when the image is selected, the large image is displayed in a new window.
And that's it! You can add several by editing the news item again and you'll see the 'Document', 'Choose File' option to select the file from your local hard disk and upload it.
