  When I insert a picture from the media library, it allways apperas at the very begginning of the blog. Even if the cursor is positioned where I want the picture to be. Ithen have to cut and paste it where I want it to be. Surely this cant be right. What am I doing wrong?

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

  What browser and version are you using? It shouldn’t do that UNLESS you’re using Monotone.

  The first picture I insert does go at the cursor placement, subsequent pictures (when inserting several) appear at the start of the blog. Do I have to place the cursor for every inserted picture, even if they follow one another?

  When inserting from the media library, thats when they appear at the start of the blog. Its very frustrating to insert them then have to cut and paste to get them in the propper place.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  IE is not one of the browsers that WP recommends. Better start using Firefox.

  One learning curve at a time is enough… I will have to live with it then.

  My GF has changed to Firefox and has not end of internet speed issues compared to pre firefox. For a non techy its not a simple choice to change something that works well (that is up untill now if it is a IE problem).

  Thanks for the reply.

  @alankempwets It sure is a IE problem Switching over to Firefox is a breeze I use to be real big about using IE until I realized how easy the switch to Firefox was. here is the download page link if you change your mind. http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/personal.html

  (Er, “something that works well” is not a phrase commonly associated with IE…)

  @stevedodge: 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 can’t help without that.

  Thanks for the link t3ck, I downloaded and installed, took about half an hour which is good for me as I am clueless as to how software works. Firefox is far superior for wordpress, everything is where it should be and seems slightly faster.
