To make this work the way it should:
- Create an image object within content that displays the picture at meaningful zoom level. New->Image.
- If a group of pictures makes sense, a new ->Gallery object should first be created, then the image objects created below the gallery structure. That way a visitor may be drawn deeper into site content via pictures
- Make a note of the url that loads the picture at its highest resolution. Copy that url to the local computer system clipboard. In this case -- http://www.newsnetworknn.com/publish/index.php/eng/Articles/Photos/El-Kamino
- Embed the image into content just like doing an upload, but rather than uploading, "Browse" to locate the pic.
- After the image is in place within content, highlight the entire image by positioning screen cursor just before or after the image and mouse sweep forward or backward until a highlight covers just the image.
- Then, with the highlight still covering the image, click the link icon in the toolbar, paste the url from the clipboard into the href - link address field.
