2. Click the browse button and then select an image from your computer's hard disc, a cdrom, or other attached storage device. Once you have selected an image it will automatically begin uploading to the viewer. This may take up to a minute depending on the file size of the image, the speed of your computer and your internet connection. Note: images must be below 1mb in file size to upload.

3. Once the image has finished uploading a viewer will appear. This is where you can resize and reposition your image to best fit into the news report. Resize by dragging the slider to the left and right - this will increase and decrease the size of the image.

And don't forget to add a personal message / news update in the news ticker entry field - it will appear in the bottom blue box when the photo appears in the news report. Now get cracking!
