Inserting an image into the blog using the legacy editor tool is a challenge. There are no text wrapping options and any code that is added, is removed. Can this be updated to the new editor widget? Maybe we can add the image field to this module as well like there is on the News Flash.

Images are missing.
Hi Caryn,
I have re-added the images so they should appear now. Thank you for letting us know about that!
