LET'S LEARN TO ADD CONTENT TO OUR STORYMAP

The headline on the first page of your map can be different from the title of your project, or it can be the same. I usually make this headline the title of my project for continuity. I will use "Tuscaloosa Lunch Spots" as my opening headline.

Tip! Check out the Quick Guide [SELECTING A MAP AND CHANGING YOUR MAP ICON | StoryMapsJS](https://scribehow.com/shared/SELECTING_A_MAP_AND_CHANGING_YOUR_MAP_ICON_or_StoryMapsJS__j6ThUUtjRRu119VTkvuYfQ)

Under the headline you are able to insert guidance and contextualization for the map project. In this text box you are able to do some light html format coding using the &lt;/&gt; tool. You can also use Bold, Italic, and embedded hyperlinks.

You can use simple html tags to format the text in your description box.

You can add images from the Internet by using the "URL to your media" option.

To do this, find the picture that you want to use, right click on it and select "Open Image in New Tab." Then navigate to the new tab with the image in it, right click on the image and select "Copy Image Address."
