Naming Conventions

 * Pre-pend "Comm-Link:" to place in the specially set up Comm-Link: namespace.
 * Convert any ":" in the rest of the name to " -"
 * Remove other special characters "][{}"

Featured Image
We need a featured image for our Comm-Link Infobox. We should be using the main image at the top of each comm-link.

Take the image from the first ever comm-link. It has the url of:

https://robertsspaceindustries.com/media/puvp3i50x7n2qr/post_section_header/NewsScreen.jpg

That can be uploaded with a name as noted above: "'Comm-Link-' + short indicator of comm-link name + file type"

Some series share the same image and we don't need to re-upload each time.

Note: Did previously have instructions on changing the image to post. But the post section header seems to be working quite well.

Embedded Images
Embedded images are best done as thumbnails, which end up a bit smaller than on the RSI website, but that makes them more mobile friendly anyway.

Upload as above. Note file name.

Code for embed is one of the below (with optional caption at the end):

(Center no flow.)

Archived
The following maybe useful for manipulating images on the the RSI Website:

What we need to do is take the "post_section_header" and change it to "post" and pull the result from the RSI website:

https://robertsspaceindustries.com/media/puvp3i50x7n2qr/post/NewsScreen.jpg

That can be uploaded with a name as noted above: "'Comm-Link-' + short indicator of comm-link name + file type"

Incidentally, if you substitute "source" instead of post from the RSI url above, you'll get the highest resolution uncropped image available for whatever RSI image you are working with. Now you know how people get those high-res images out of the Category:Monthly Reports
