How To Add Images To A WordPress Post
Inserting images into a WordPress post is fairly easy to do, but you must be careful and make sure that the images are properly formatted, and the right size. WordPress has an integral image uploader and editor for the proper placement and sizing of images within the post content.
This is an older video I did almost a year back. It shows how to use some of the advanced tools for working with images in a WordPress post. That part of the WordPress dashboard hasn’t changed much since then so it should still be relevant.

You can however use a different folder or even sub-domain on your web server for saving file uploads as in the setting screen above. This offers two advantages – your image URLs become relatively shorter and second, the size of your WordPress folder will always remain small and manageable.

Another thing to be mindful of is the wordpress theme you are using. If you install a custom wordpress theme then you may be at the mercy of the designer because CSS can change or override image settings.

Wow! I just learned a ton! Thank you!
It took me a while to figure out how to get a photo on my wp blog, but then I noticed it was then smashed up against the content.
Now thanks to you and this excellent training video you have trained me in how to put a border up, re-center and re-size it. This is awesome!
This stuff is so exciting to learn about. Thank you once again. I am going to bookmark your website because I can see that I have tons more to learn here.

I always do the same thing over and over depends on the image size. If it’s left aligned, I put the link to the image for a bigger resolution. If it’s not, I tend to set it as 488 pixel width to fit the post content area

That’s something useful mate. What I used to do before for WP is I have created a custom field and then parsed it as an image in the template.
This one is slight a better idea.
Thanks!

I try and use images in each post as much as possible. Images will help bring more traffic and make the post a little more interesting. The current wordpress image uploader works good.

I always put “none” for the image link. It’s a real problem when you click on the image and you lose your page and have the picture instead.
Is there a plugin for that ?

Is funny how sometimes (depending of the themes) posting an image to WP is not sooo simple. I like the fact that you took the time to explain it via video. Thanks

Great minimalist designs. I’m a firm believer in the k.i.s.s. design method. After all, most of the biggest sites on the web use minimalistic designs, like Google, eBay, Amazon, etc. As long as it’s a good user interface, minimalist design is a great choice.

Great video tutorial Jeff, great for those who hate reading ( me ). Anyhow it makes it really clear on exactly how to add an image in a post, thanks so much for the guide.
Reply
Videos help. Typically, I don’t put photos in my blog articles because I’m afraid I’ll ruin the article by putting it in the wrong place or making it too big.
The video helps!

Well without image in your post, your post looks like garden without flowers. I had always wanted to add images in the wordpress posts. Now I will be able to do it. One more tip to the users that when you add your image always remember to tag it as well, as in this way it will appear in the google image queries.

I am a regular user of wordpress and I do understand the importance of adding images to your post and images have greater perceptual selectivity as compared to text.

This is really great explanation and tips. Also I would recommend to u to use div tags for your images, and try to wrap your text around images. That will help to get better SERP for your images. Also for the purpose of SEO and SERP its good to use alt tag and put same descriptive keywords.
