  I’m still getting used to the new interface and I’m not sure if I’m missing something or if it’s been changed, so I figured I’d ask.

  When I put an image into a blog post, it’s no longer clickable. It used to be that I’d put (relatively) small images in my posts and if people wanted to see them in full size, they could click on them … that doesn’t work anymore. As far as I can tell, the old way worked because of the “Link To: Media File” button in the editor, but that button doesn’t seem to exist anymore. So how do I make my images clickable for full size? Thanks in advance.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Okay, I got it. The trick is to do the “Add Link” thing when the image is FULL SIZE; I’d been doing it (retroactively) on images I’d already shrunk. So, I guess this is resolved. Thanks :)
