Adding Images and Media
Images live in /media/, and Nano CMS handles the fiddly parts for you.
Uploading
Upload through the Media manager. Every file is re-encoded through the image library on the way in - which strips any payload hidden in the file - and a thumbnail is generated automatically for use on cards. You can organise uploads into folders.
Using an image in a post
- Set it as the post's hero image in the editor (with alt text), or
- Drop it inline with Markdown:
Always write real alt text. It's what screen readers announce and what search engines read, and Nano CMS falls back to the post title only if you leave it blank.
Embedding video
Raw <iframe> HTML is stripped by safe mode, so use a shortcode instead:
Each expands to a responsive, privacy-respecting embed after the Markdown is rendered.
