Word Press Blogs with Images!
October 11th, 2006 by Anthony Curreri
Word Press make it easy to post content on the internet. It also makes including images on your blogs easy if you know how. Here’s how to get awesome images on your blogs without first uploading images, creating posts that look like this!
- Log into your WordPress software, click ‘Write’ to begin writing a post.
- You should have the image you’d like on your hard disk. Click the ‘Browse’ button in the blue ‘Upload’ box beneath your post.
- Select the file from your hard disk.
- Fill in something for the Title of the image. This will appear in the alt text, aiding the vision impaired who use screen readers and giving search engines something to read.
- Click ‘Upload’
- Single-click the image preview, a menu appears.
- If ‘Using Thumbnail’ is the first line in the box, Word Press will insert a tiny image. Single-click ‘Using Thumbnail’ to change it to ‘Using Original’ if you want it to appear the same size as the image on your disk.
- ‘Not Linked’ means clicking the image will do nothing. Sometimes I like to select ‘Using Thumbnail above’, then click ‘Not Linked’ to change it to ‘Linked to Image’ so that clicking the Thumbnail will open a new page to show the full-size image.
- Now click ‘Send to Editor’ this will paste some HTML code into your post box (if you’re using the non-graphical editor)
- You could leave it at that, but the text will not wrap around the image, and it won’t appear on the right. Put your cursor near the end of the inserted text, before the ‘/>’. add in: ‘ align=right ‘.
- Now write the rest of your post, and save it. It should look like awesome incarnate. If it does not, comment on this post or contact me.
Cool people want images on the right with text wrapping around. So try inserting the image first thing, before any text.
A preview of the image appears. This is where it gets a little confusing.
