Click the tree icon to adjust the photo. Voila!

Let’s add a link back to funbeach.com. First, highlight the word or photo you want to turn into a link: funbeach.com. Click the link icon. Fill out the form, choosing whether the link should open in the same window or a new window, then click the insert button. Voila!
