  So far, if I wanted to locate a personal photo I have embedded in a blog post, I try to remember the blog post title or other identifiers.

  Some of us have ever-burgeoning media library in our blog. Rather than scroll forwards or backwards through a list of photo images, are there other easier ways to get to whole series of photos that are located in proximity to one another in a blog’s back-end Media Library?

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

  I know this is late, but I’ve been using the Omnisearch to try and find the post where the image may be located. It certainly is not an efficient way of doing things.

  What I have started doing is naming my images in a way that will jog my memory when I need to look for them. I usually name them as an extension of the post they appear in (which is also good when you are looking at stats).

  I do the same. I have entire categories of images, eg Anonymous, Hackers, Army, Cthulhu and I always make that word the first word of the filename. That way I just type Anonymous in the search and poof, there they all are.
