What is the size of the area on the home page to place an image? Our new image looks stretched and I don't see what the area size is for an image.

Do not stretch the image but use the image properties to set the width to say 400.
Thank you,

PM'd to me. Please post support requests in the forum areas.

Hi! I am wondering if there is a size dimension for the image on the home page? The current one that I added today appears stretched, but I can't seem to find anything that gives a preferred size limit for an image. Can you please help?

Gloria,

The way to prevent stretching issues is to use percentage based scaling of images in the image insertion dialog. Just keep the percentages the same for horizontal and vertical scaling and also click the "lock aspect ratio" button. (I think that is what it is called?)

The available width is around 660px or so. However, I will not guarantee that width, as I change things around a bit from revision to revision.

Again, you need to use percentage based scaling for best results.
