Preview: Here you can upload an image that will be used as a thumbnail for the blog post. To do this, drag and drop an image into the Preview area or click the Browse button to select an image from your local memory. This setting is optional.
Available images:
Here you can upload one or more images that can be used in the blog post. This step is optional. Next to the image you will also find the link to include the image in the editor; an example syntax would be $#Image1#$. Images help to emphasise the message of your blog post. They are also more inviting and make customers want to read the blog post because it is more visually appealing. You can also use the images as links to your items.
