  Hi there – Please follow these directions to upload your image:

  If you still have trouble, please link me directly to the draft post or page where only the title and link show, so that I can take a look. :)

  Hi, thanks for the help.

  Here’s the draft post with media inserted:

  Here’s the published post:

  I am certainly no expert, but I have had WP blogs before and never ran into this issue. C.

  Hi there – That’s a PDF file, not an image file, so it provides a download link. If you want to embed the PDF document itself into your post, you can do so by using Scribd:

  If it should just be an image and not a PDF document, then save it as a .jpg, .png, or other image file on your computer and then upload it again. :)
