Only by doubling the amount of text was I able to include the entire image. So, when using this section (unless things change) we'll have to use it for larger statements. Also, there doesn't seem to be an option for creating separate paragraphs.Only by doubling the amount of text was I able to include the entire image.

I have questions which I'm sure will be answered in time but I'll list some here:
In places where it asks for the Member Card (above where no sample is showing) in order to add content (see picture below) do we need to know the member number of the member we are featuring? Or Is this a section we don't normally use and primarily for developers?
What are the size specs for images in this section?
I'm attempting to add a LINK.
Can we add a Link to images as well? Perhaps not. I tried with the image below and it didn't work
Is it possible to add an email?
This is a thumbnail item. Just to see how it appears and how we might use it in future, and also, to use it in comparison to the sample page of images sizes we received but don't always seem to correspond to the section names in this site. Looks like these will link to external and internal pages. Need ADD AUTHOR explained.
I'm adding a second Thumbnail to see if they land side-by-side or stack one atop the next. This makes me wonder if there's a way to determine that. Also, there needs to be a mapping system for all of us working in the backend so that we understand layout options.
Zoey Abbott is a grown-up, but she still has more questions than answers. She also feels like she knew something important when she was a kid, something that she has forgotten. So, Zoey time travels in her mind, digging and scraping and scooping up old sticks and bones. She sometimes puts these in her stories. Zoey is a graduate in Women's Studies and History from Smith College. She spent four years living and painting in Japan. She currently lives in Portland, Oregon with her husband, kids and a large dog named Carrots. Zoey thinks being a member of SCBWI and being a part of an active critique group are the best assets a picture book person can have. Really, she couldn't do her work without both! Zoey is the author/illustrator of four books: Banana, Clementine and the Lion, Pig and Horse and the Something Scary and I Do Not Like Yolanda. She is the illustrator of Marty and Finn's Feather (both by Rachel Noble), Over the Moon (by James Priomos) and Twindergarten (by Nikki Erlich). She was also honored to contribute an illustration to Velocity of Being; Letters to a Young Reader, edited by Maria Popova of The Marginalian and Claudia Bedrick of Enchanted Lion Books. Zoey's forthcoming authored titles include A Kite Story and This Year, A Witch!, both publishing in 2025. Zoey is represented by Elena Giovinazzo of Pippin Properties.
