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:

  1. On your computer, using a graphics program like PhotoShop, resize your photo to no more than 300px wide.
  2. Save it using a file name that explains what it is.
  3. In the left column of your blog’s admin panel, click Media, then Add New.
  4. Under the Upload New Media screen, click Select files button.
  5. Choose the photo you’ve just resized on your computer and click Open.
  6. In description text box, describe what the photo is briefly.
  7. Click on Save all changes button at bottom.

 

To add the photo to a post:

  1. While adding text to the body of a new post, you can click the small square beside the words Upload/Insert.
  2. In the Add an Image screen, choose the Media Library tab.
  3. Click on the Show button of your photo.
  4. Click Insert into Post button (under the photo size info.)
