Adding photos (or video or audio files) to your post is as simple as clicking an icon, following directions, and filling out a form. In fact, you can add entire galleries of photos. You will be immediately confronted by a screen that gives you two methods for uploading images or other media files. If the image is on your desktop or some other convenient place, you can simply drag the image to the drag and drop area. As an alternative, you can click \u201cChoose file\u201d and browse to where the file is on your computer. When you have selected the file, click the \u201cChoose\u201d button, and the file uploading process will begin.<\/p>\n

Once the file is uploaded, you will see an expanded window that contains several fields. Only a few things need to be attended to. You should take time to designate these specs for each picture you insert.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \u00a0\u201dAlt text\u201d is a short description of your image that will be \u201cseen\u201d by Web site readers for the visually impaired. The reader will tell a blind person what the picture is, based on the alt text.<\/li>\n
  2. \u201cCaption,\u201d as it sounds like, is text that is attached to and added below your image.<\/li>\n
  3. \u201cSize, Alignment\u201d refers to how your image will be displayed. Typically you will have a few size options, and you can choose to align your picture right, left, centered, or with no alignment specified.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    When you have completed the Alt Text field, the caption, and specified size and alignment, you click on \u201cInsert into Post,\u201d and your image does just that.\u00a0This entire process describes single image insertion, and works just fine if you have only \u00a01-3 images with your post. If, however, you want to insert a number of images, you should consider using the gallery insertion utilities.<\/p>\n

    Creating a Gallery<\/h4>\n

    You can easily create photo gallery within a current WordPress site\u00a0site. The\u00a0post on Hampton Court Palace<\/a>\u00a0is a good example of a simple gallery.<\/p>\n

    Let\u2019s say you have nine really good photos you want to include in a gallery. First, create your post according to the instructions above. Then upload each of your pictures, according to steps 1 and 2 above.<\/p>\n

    DO NOT do step 3 if you want to create a gallery. DO NOT click \u201cInsert into Post.\u201d Instead, just keep uploading pictures and clicking \u201cSave all Changes\u201d (not \u201cInsert into Post\u201d) at the end of each upload. When you have all your photos uploaded, you create the gallery much as though you were inserting a picture.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Set your cursor where you want the gallery to appear (usually at the end of the post).<\/li>\n
    2. Click on the \u201cAdd Media\u201d icon.<\/li>\n
    3. In the screen dialog that follows, click on the \u201cGallery\u201d tab.<\/li>\n
    4. Select the parameters you want.<\/li>\n
    5. Click \u201cInsert Gallery.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
