To Add Photo to Post:
Because we are not paying WordPress for extra features, we have to do things the old-fashioned way….
First, add a photo to Media Library:
- On your computer, using a graphics program like PhotoShop, resize your photo to no more than 300px wide.
- Save it using a file name that explains what it is.
- In the left column of your blog’s admin panel, click Media, then Add New.
- Under the Upload New Media screen, click Select files button.
- Choose the photo you’ve just resized on your computer and click Open.
- In description text box, describe what the photo is briefly.
- Click on Save all changes button at bottom.
To add the photo to a post:
- While adding text to the body of a new post, you can click the small square beside the words Upload/Insert.
- In the Add an Image screen, choose the Media Library tab.
- Click on the Show button of your photo.
- Click Insert into Post button (under the photo size info.)
To Comment:
- Just click on the comments link under someone’s post.
- Type in what you want to say and hit submit button.
