Hi Amy,
There's two ways.
One is to use the image tool and add an image then click on the image and click the link tool and then select the page you want to link to in the properties box to the right when it shows.
The other way is to
add the image to your site using the "Add Files" tool.Ctrl + alt + f
Next Place this code in a html box on your page.
<a href="http://mydomain.com/mypage.html"><img src="images/mycoolimage.jpg" width="400" height="300" alt="My cool image" title="It's a pic of me" /></a>

Now adjust the code to your domain your image name, location and size.
You can also adjust the title and alt text. You'll also want to adjust the mypage.html to what your linking to.
Hope this helps.:)
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

Sorry, Amy :lol:
I know nothing about Linkedin/Open Graph, but maybe someone else here might know how to guide you through the process. VSD does have an add HTML tool (left tool bar), so it's easy to add snippets of code if needed.

The ease with which these features can be implemented will likely be the most exciting point for many non-developers. The plugins take a couple lines of code that can be copied and pasted into a site's code. All you need to do to get a plugin is go to LinkedIn's plugin gallery (as seen below), click on the "Get It" button and paste the code into the site.

Sounds like you need to start on Linkedin?
