  I want to insert some image A in a post, which will have image B as target. I want to host both images A and B in my free wordpress blog. Is it possible and how?

  Basically, I can upload both images to my media library, I can attach them both to the same post, I embed A in my post, but unless I actually embed B as well (which I don’t want), B doesn’t get any url I can use as target, for A.

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

  The code is this:
  <a href="URL2"><img src="URL1"></a>
  Or this, if you want it to open in a new window:
  <a href="URL1" target="_blank"><img src="URL2"></a>

  To get the URL of an image, make sure you click “File URL” after uploading.

  Where is this?

  For a new image: post or page editor > click Add an image > select from computer, then click this option after “crunching” is over. (You only have to do it once: the uploader will then remember your preference.)

  For an already uploaded image: post or page editor > click Add an image > click Media Library > locate image and click Show, etc.

  now, that’s awkward! The only way to see the url of an uploaded image is to “pretend” you are inserting it in a post, then “pretend” you want its target to be itself, then cancel the “insertion”…
