I am not sure I understand the question. A link to what?
Sorry if I was unclear… in each post, I’d like there to be a link to that same post (or to a picture in that post). What I want to accomplish is an easy way for people who read the blog to copy and paste a link to my post (or a picture in my post) somewhere else (in their own blog, on a forum, etc).
I want the link to show up at the bottom of each post, of course I can copy/paste it in there myself every time I make a new post, but if there’s a way for it to automatically show up every time I’d be much happier. That’s why I thought maybe there’s a way to do it in the Custom Fields option you have when you write posts.
Sounds like what is called “permalink” (permanent link) to your post. WP does that out of the box – the title of your post is always The Link 🙂
Additionally, you can edit your template file(s) and add the proper template tag to it once asgain at the end of the Loop:

Fabulous, that works great for adding a link to the post, thanks!!
Sorry for asking a million newbie-questions, but is there a similar easy way to make it show the direct link with tags to the picture in the post? (so people can hotlink the picture)
For example:
Share this picture:
(a href=”http://mysite.com/wp-content/uploads/picture.jpg) (/a)
That’s a bad idea (hotlinking)!
I don’t have an answer… and not really willing to even think about it.
Haha, ok hint taken! Thanks for helping with the other link-thing though, I appreciate it 🙂

You can do that with Post Image plugin by Guff. That plugin allows you to setup a link to the image associated to the post trough the inline uploader.
Just need some template config and you are ready to go.
