First, let’s add some text to our web page. Type “Technology Club” in the “Add a title” space.

In the “Add A Subtitle” space, write “In this club we learn about innovation, robots, coding, and more!”.

Your screen should now look like this:

At this point the web page is looking a little plain, let’s add a photo.

Click the “Photo” option and a menu of options will appear on the leftmost side of your screen.

The Add photos menu

Upload photo

By selecting this option you are able to choose a photo from the files in your computer and upload it.

Find free photos

Using this option you are able to select through thousands of free photos. To use this option simply type a keyword into the search bar after selecting the “Find free photos” option and if matching or similar results are available then they will appear.

Adobe Stock

Through Adobe Stock you can search for any royalty-free media, whether it is stock photos, videos, audio clips, etc. However, before using any of these options you must pay a fee so you can use the media.

Creative Cloud

By selecting this option you may use any file that you have on Creative Cloud.

Lightroom

This option allows you to select any photo located in your Lightroom Library, which was edited using Adobe Lightroom.

Connect to Dropbox

If you would like to use a photo or file from Dropbox, then use this option.

Connect to Google Photos

If you would like to use a photo from your Google Photos use this option.

Connect to Google Drive

If you would like to upload a photo or file from your Google Drive onto the web page then use this option.

Now that you have learned about these menu items, let’s get back to the web page!
