How can I upload and weave multiple photos into my blog?

    I’m trying to insert mulitple photos into my blog – about 30 – and I want to be able to move them around the page to have them interspersed between the text without having to upload and place each one individually. I’ve learned about the gallery function but it just inserts them all in a block. I’m used to using Travelpod which does this automatically. Is there some way of doing it in WP? I’ve looked at the online support and basically, don’t understand it because I’m not a tech head. Can someone please explain to me is this is possible in plain english?
    Thank you,
    Naomi

    Hi, happy to help!

    While it is easy to add single images to your posts in WordPress, as well as groups of images as galleries, but there is no way to automatically add groups of images and have them automatically interspersed with your text.

    You can learn more about adding images in your posts here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/images/

    Sorry we aren’t able to accommodate your request. If you have any more questions about this, or anything else, please free to contact me, and I will do my best to help.

    Hi Jerry,
    Thanks for your reply although I’m surprised WP doesn’t have this functionality. Just to clarify though – I know I can upload a batch of photos at one time – but is there anyway I can just click and drag them into place? I tried with very limited success – it messed up all my text – and I wondered if I just wasn’t doing it properly.

    Thanks,
    Naomi

    I think it’s a great idea, but not something we do currently. Could you add that here? It helps a lot to hear directly from our users: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/forum/ideas

    Clicking and dragging can be problematic. This may help you to get the most out of adding your images to pages and posts on WordPress.com.:

    Hope that helps. Please let me know if you have any further questions.

    Cheers,
