Inserting Images Into a Post/Page
For a while I wasn’t even aware of this feature, and when I found it I was amazed how well it was organized. Not only does it do the uploading for you and put it on your server but it gives you a giant range of options on what you can do with the image. Once uploaded you can resize it to fit into your post and have it open in another window if clicked on. You can have wordpress center the image or wrap around text or doing anything you like. Since I know we all like pictures, I’ll how you how it’s done!
Right in your text box there is an Upload/Insert option. Click on the first symbol next to it called Add an Image.
Insert Image
Once you select your file and upload it you’ll be hit with a huge list of options. While this can be confusing, take a minute to look at all the options you have. They all come in handy.
You can add a Title, Caption, Description, Link URL, Alignment, and Size.
The first three are very basic and self descriptive, but what is the Link URL? This is where people will go if they click on the image. I put it so when someone clicks on the image they will be taken to the full size image in another window.
Those are the basics of adding an image into wordpress. Oh yeah, to insert it into your post simply hit “Insert into Post”
