  I am having an issue with my images. When wordpress launched the new image format a few months ago people coming to visit the blog can no longer see the description of the image they are looking at. I am still doing the same thing that i have always done but the description is no longer appearing. What can i do to make it so that the description of the image will appear when someone looks at image. Thanks!

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

  WP has said that the gallery slideshow will eventually incorporate the descriptions. For the moment you can still access the attachment pages with the descriptions if you click “Permalink” under each image. But nobody will think of this, so you have to add a note in your posts informing your readers about it.

  PS Please paste the URL of your blog when asking questions here. Or, better, make your username link to your blog (Users > Personal Settings: scroll down to Account Details, paste blog URL in the Website field, click Save Changes).
