 Hello and welcome to the next settings video, and in this case we're going to be looking at settings media. So I'm going to go ahead and start on my dashboard, select settings and then select media. Now there's not much here, and really there's not much reason to play with it, but for the record I am going to explain to you what's going on here. This will also cross reference with our video on media, on dealing with media, how to upload media into the system. For the purposes of this video, media are going to be images, whether they be clip art, graphics, photographs, whatever. When you upload an image into WordPress, and that's something you need to do in order to get it to show up on your website, WordPress will take your original file, let's say it's a 1000 by 3000 pixel photograph, and give you the ability to serve it back to the patrons in various sizes, and they have a thumbnail size, a medium size, and a large size. By default something like 1000 by 3000 pixels is going to be way too big to actually show up in a blog post or a page, it'll be just way too big for most people viewing it. You can upload that full resolution photo and then choose to display it as a thumbnail, as a medium, or as a large size. In the media videos I'll also show you that you can pick other sizes too, but these are the default sizes built in. On this screen is where you can see what those defaults are set to. For example, if you upload something very large and you just choose to display it as medium, it will take the larger side, whether that be the height or the width, and make it no bigger than 300 pixels. If you were to choose larger size, it would then take either the height or the width, whichever is longer, make it no bigger than 1024 pixels. Really to be honest, no reason to play with these. You can adjust them if you have a favorite size you want to use, that's great. I've been using WordPress for years and I have always left these alone. These are really good defaults and you can always customize on a case by case basis if you really feel you need to. The other option here is to organize your uploads into month and year based folders. Go ahead and just leave that checked. That's just going to make things easier on the back end. Things will stay a little more organized and you'll be able to tell when you uploaded something into the system if you ever need to do that. As usual, if you do change anything here, go ahead and click that Save Changes button to save your changes, but the recommendations really, in this case, are to just leave all of these options alone until you're much more familiar with how media files work, which we'll show you in some of the media videos. Even then, chances are you don't need to change anything here. Thanks for watching.
