Can’t place photos correctly in post
-
When I want to put a photo in a post, I can’t get the photo where I want it. Am I supposed to place the photo first and then write the text around it? Or can I start writing, stop and upload a photo, and then keep writing after that? Here’s a link to the post I’m working on so you can see what I mean https://table4five.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post.php?action=edit&post=228

Have you checked the faq on pictures?
I normally enter all the text and then decide how to place the image. -
I went through the step by step directions on Dr. Mike’s blog. The thumbnail photo is stuck right in the middle of some text. I click on it, drag it to where I want it, and when I let go of the mouse, the photo pops right back up to where it was before. I really, REALLY don’t understand what I am doing wrong. It looks like this https://table4five.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post.php?action=edit&post=228

Table4five, have you tried clicking on the picture, then using the image edit icon in the rich text editor to make changes to the photo?

Genie, okay I found the Insert/Edit image box, what do I select for Alignment? And what do you suggest for the dimensions? I find that most of my photos are way too small. (And thanks for helping a newbie!)

This is the HTML for the photo I’m trying to post. Does it look right? It’s pulled from a folder on my Desktop.

I rewrote some directions in the FAQ:

Have you checked that page and others? -
The problem I’m having isn’t how to upload the photos themselves, it’s how to place them within the body of the post. With the Flickr uploadr, I can get the photo at the top of the post. What if I want it to appear after the fourth paragraph or something? I can’t figure out how to MOVE it. I even tried going into the HTML Source editor, copy/pasting the photo code, and manually re-inserting it into the post. Which locked up the Source editor and got me an “error on page” message.

Okay, never mind. Apparently, WordPress likes the way Flickr uploads photos a lot better than CompuPic. I was able to copy/paste the Flickr HTML and move it to a different place in the text. It might help others if how to move photos within the body of the post after they are uploaded was added to the FAQs.

@tableforfive – the subject of how to insert photos and how to wrap text around photos is actually in the FAQs. Podz put it there.
