How to Upload Images [Screenshots]

Go to Write > Post (or Write > Page). You’ll see the “Add Media” buttons and “Add an Image” is the first one of the bunch.

The Image uploader window opens up after clicking on “Add an Image”. Select images from your computer by clicking on “Choose Files to Upload” or images already on the web by inputting the URL.

Once your file(s) are uploaded(crunching!), you have some options before inserting into the post.

  • Title
  • Caption
  • Description
  • Link URL
  • Alignment
  • Size

Once the image(s) are inserted in the post, you can continue editing the post, then hit “Publish”

Your options for how to display an image.

Show:
Thumbnail: Show a thumbnail of your image
Full size: Show the entire image in its full size
Title: Show the title of your image (in text)

Link to:
File: The thumbnail/image/title links to the original file
Page: The thumbnail/image/title links to a separate page with the image on it
None: The thumbnail/image/title is not linked to anything

Always click “Send to Editor” to get the image into your post.

If your images are always thumbnails:

Click Code in your editor.
You will see something like this for your image:
<img src=”http://yourblog.files.wordpress.com/2006/07/image.jpg alt=”image” height=”96” />
see the height bit? That’s the problem.

Edit that out to get
<img src=”http://yourblog.files.wordpress.com/2006/07/image.jpg alt=”image” />
and you will get the full image.
