6. You can add more images by repeating these steps.

7. Click beneath your image(s) to add text or a caption.

8. When you’re ready, click ‘Publish post’.

If posting from the homepage, you’ll be prompted to select which workshop the post belongs to from a dropdown list.

🌀 Need to rotate an image?
