I would like to add images to my blog (different ones for each post). Since I am new to this - I am looking for the easiest way to add images or photos. Is there a plugin that is easier than media library? I tried the media library route but cannot find a way to add the "attributes" required by the photographer. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

What sort of attributes are you looking to add?

Posted 1 month ago #Thanks for replying and sorry I wasn't specific - I would like to use a couple photos that required me to sign up for Flickr, and it is a requirement to "attribute" (give him credit) the photographer and to link back to the Flickr site. They gave some html code, but I'm really not sure what I am supposed to do with it. They don't really specify what it is or if I am even supposed to use it, but I am guessing that this is the link back along with the "attribute" to the photographer. Instead of trying to guess what is going on - I was hoping to find if there was a better way to add photos to my site. Thanks, again.

Posted 1 month ago #There's a couple things you can do; if you don't want to use media library, you can create a new page using your FTP client (example: http://www.website.com/images) and upload photos there. Then you can add those photos into your posts by hitting the HTML tab on your post window and inserting the image by inserting <img src="http://www.yourwebsite.com/yourphoto.jpg">. To make it link, before you put the link above you insert , which will make the image clickable.
But a WAY easier way to do this would be just to use your media library to upload the images, put in your attribute by inserting it into the caption(when you're editing the image layout etc), and when the picture is added hit the HTML tab on your post box, find where the image is added, and before that link put in the to make it clickable.
Maybe that was confusing. Sorry.

Posted 1 month ago #Sorry, thing above didn't turn out right. Let me try again. Going with the latter option since it's easier to explain.
#1 Upload your picture using media library
#2 When you upload, it should give you an option to edit the caption of the image. Put your attribute in here.
#3 Once image is in post, hit HTML tab next to VISUAL tab on your post box.
#4 Something like this < img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-35" title="Ranch_Park_Lodge_Chilliwack,_BC_Loft_View" src="http://www.luxvancouverhomes.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Ranch_Park_Lodge_Chilliwack_BC_Loft_View-225x300.jpg" alt="Ranch_Park_Lodge_Chilliwack,_BC_Loft_View" width="225" height="300" /> should show up. BEFORE this, put in < a href="http://www.luxvancouverhomes.com"> and AFTER it a . NO SPACE between the < and a, I just had to do that b/c it would link in this post otherwise.
#5 Preview your post to make sure it works...Image should now be linked to your attribute website. -

(try putting any html you want to actually show or any php code inbetween backticks, these things--> ` and it'll get nicely formatted)

heh, I was really aiming that at amykiz, she seemed to be having a few problems above. That backtick thing won't work if you try it in WordPress, if that's what you thought I meant. :-)
