  Pardon me but I am having another newbie quandary.
  When I upload a photo to insert [and btw how else can one upload photos other than going to a post and hitting the Add Photo button? And how to add more than one photo at a time?], unless I use the URL option I cannot see how to actually insert it into the post.

  I’m sure it’s something dumb that I cannot see, but so far, no good after hitting my head against it a couple days.
  I have found a workaround but it in inelegant and I would prefer to know the correct method.

  Thanks!
  K

  Flickr.com and photobucket are both great image hosting options and they are both free; if you’re having problems as many are with the image uploader in wordpress, know you can also use the uploaders that are hosted elsewhere and use the html codes provided to you there.

  If you prefer the wordpress option however, the firefox browser may give you the least trouble at this point while the bugs are worked out.

  Using the wordpress ‘faq’s and the forums themselves is a great search tool. many questions have been addressed before; often many times. so remember we always have these at hand to help us, too.

  Here is a link to the faq’s –

  If you place a search term at the top of the forum where the “search the forums” option is, you can see a lot of data.
