adding more photos to gallery after gallery has been inserted
-
How do i add photos from my library to the gallery after the gallery has already been inserted? I have tried adding but they show up as separate photos, not in the gallery, or as separate photos AND in the gallery! I have to constantly update with new work added and it’s becoming a pain in the bazotski!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

It might be possible to add existing images from the Media Library more easily to the Gallery in the future, but right now the only way to do it is upload the additional photos directly to the Post or Page where the Gallery is inserted. They’ll be automatically added to the Gallery.
Otherwise, the labor intensive way is to use “includes” in the Gallery shortcode and the image ID # of the images in the Media Library. http://en.support.wordpress.com/images/gallery/#gallery-shortcode
I recommend the first option for ease of use, especially since you seem to be downsizing your images already before uploading them to your site.

but they AREN’t being added to the gallery, they are going in as separate photos as you can see here http://albedoarlee.wordpress.com/2012-gallery/ the 4 bottom photos are separate from the gallery, and in editing mode do not show as IN “gallery(8)” or whatever number is

or do you mean i have to upload AGAIN the same image????? what good is the library then?

Yes, you need to upload them again to the page or post where you’ve inserted the Gallery. That’s how the Gallery works. Every photo uploaded to a specific Post or Page becomes attached and will appear in the Gallery if you’ve inserted it.
If those images in the Media Library are “unattached” you can attach them to the Post or Page where you’ve inserted the Gallery and they will then appear. http://en.support.wordpress.com/media/unattached-files/
