Inserting an image

How to paste a picture into a
post or page in WordPress

Insert your cursor
where you want
your picture to go

You now have the choice of
uploading a new image into
your post, or selecting one
you’ve already uploaded
before, which will be laid out in
the Library below.

If you want to upload an
image from your
computer, click on the
‘Upload Files’ link.

Now you can click on the
‘Select Files’ button to
search your computer for
the correct image, or if
you already have it on
your desktop, just drag it
onto this space.

And it will be
uploaded into
your image
library.

And on the right of
the Library there is a
lot of information
about the image
you’ve just
uploaded, that you
need to check before
you post it.

This is the title of
your image. It will
show up as a tag
when you mouse
over the published
image.

Here you write the
caption to your
image, which will
appear underneath it.

It’s important to add a
descriptive Alt Text to
your picture.
This is not only so that
the search engines can
read and index it, but
also partially sighted
web users who have
applications that allow
their computers to read
to them.

Here you can set the
alignment of your
picture against the text.

Here is the image’s own
URL or web address.
This can be used in text
or image widgets in the
sidebar.

Here you can choose to
post your image in its
full size or as a
thumbnail (150 x 150).

When you’re absolutely
ready, click on the
‘Insert into post’ button.

And here is your
image in your
content ‘field’ of
your post or page.
