  Can someone please direct me to where I can find instructions on uploading more than one photo in each post?
  For example : to illustrate a step-by-step recipe.
  Thank you for your time.

  Since I see you know how to upload and place them, it’s a simple matter of uploading each one individually and placing each one individually. There’s no capacity for bulk uploading.

  Thank you for replying to my question ellaella.
  So, am I right in concluding that you can only have 1 photo per post? Every photo you want to upload needs it’s own post?

  I’ve put multiple photos in a single post.

  Use the upload section on the write page multiple times to get all the photos uploaded. Then you can put the cursor where you want the photo click the browse all button in the upload area, select each photo in turn and “send to editor.”

  When creating and uploading an image to wordpress.com here are some basics worth remembering:
  (1) Be sure your image is one of these file types – jpg, jpeg, png, gif (Note that bmp’s cannot be uploaded due to size).
  (2) Do not use anything in the file name except letters and numbers. Use no spaces, no dashes, no underscores, or any type of special character or punctuation, except for the dot between the file name and the extension. Also make sure that the file name has an extension.
  (3) If you are using iPhoto, then use the “export” function under the file menu to export the image to your desktop before trying to upload it to WordPress.
  (4) If you are not using the image in thumbnail size, make sure that the image is not too wide for the post area in your particular theme. You can find maximum image widths for the most popular themes here: http://faq.wordpress.com/2006/09/25/how-big-can-my-images-be/
  (5) Optimize your images so that your blog pages will load faster. See http://faq.wordpress.com/2006/05/08/optimise-your-images/
  (6) How to upload pictures in posts: http://faq.wordpress.com/2006/07/16/how-do-i-upload-pictures/
