  Just tried to add a picture & all seemed well but when I went to view the post in real time, I saw no picture and could not see that it was uploaded.

  Can we get the URL of the picture and a link to the post where you tried to add it?

  I haven´t figured out, how to upload pics. the same problem my pics are not bigger than 1-2 Kb. so that can´t be the problem.

  Thanks for the link. Now, could you be more specific about the failure? Tell us exactly what happened and what you saw or didn’t see.

  hm, i think the upload works, i can find the pictures in my multimedia archive, but they don´t appear on the website, neither with the articles to which i attached them nor to the site “gallery”.
  i deleted all pics now. maybe i should just try again?

  thanks!

  Yes, try again. And this is pretty exhaustive:

  thank you! I figured out now how to add pics to an article. How can I create a picture gallery? I already created a new site “gallery”, but its not really usefull to upload all the pics in an new post.
  also: tried to creat a new site which is hierarchically a child of “gallery”, the site didn´t appear.

  Cann you hepl me again? Would be great!

  I just signed up for the free Word Press. Do I have to upgrade to post pictures?

  No. You can readily upload and insert pictures via the Add an Image button of the post editor.

  (When you click that button, you’ll see a list of allowed file types: you only need the space upgrade for uploading video and audio files.)

  And please paste the exact URL of your blog when asking questions here, or link your nickname to your blog (as explained in the Sticky 8 Things to Know Before Posting). We usually need that to give a relevant answer.

  I have a picture inserted on the right side of my post. I am then trying to ad text on the left side of the picture. Each time I hit enter, the picture also moves down an space. How can I keep the pic in one place and type around it?

  The easiest way is to switch to the HTML tab, then put your cursor before the HTML code for the image, and type a few words. Then you can switch back to the visual editor and place your cursor at the end of the text you started and continue typing. Sometimes the editor is a little finicky.

  I always type a few words first, then insert the image and then continue with my typing. It makes it much easier.
