How to Add images and embed content

1 Manage your media

Clicking RapidWeaver’s Media button opens this window, the Media Browser. It looks in Photos and your user account’s Pictures folder by default, but you can drag additional folders onto it from Finder, which is what we’ve done here.

4 Get plugging

RapidWeaver plug-ins (also referred to as add-ons) add extra features to the app. For example, to add a photo gallery, choose Add > All Plugins > Photo Album. Drag photos from the Media Browser and RapidWeaver does the rest.

2 Find your photos

Your images will now appear as thumbnails in the Media Browser. You can change viewing options with the toolbar at the bottom of the Media Browser’s window. To add an image, open a page in Edit mode and drag the picture onto it.

5 Make a map

Adding content such as Google Maps to your site is simple. In Safari, go to maps.google.co.uk and find the place you want to show on your site. Bring up the menu and choose Share/Embed, then click Embed Map and copy the code.

3 Fine- tune your photo

Double-clicking an image displays more options, such as to add a drop shadow, add a border, or rotate the image. We’ve added a basic drop shadow and then clicked on Preview at the top of RapidWeaver’s window to see the result.

6 Embed the content

To add your map, open the page in RapidWeaver on which you want it to appear, switch to Edit mode and paste the code where you want the map to appear. Click Preview and you should now see the completed map in all its glory.
