WordPress.org

New user of wp looking for the best solution for adding image(s) to posts using 1.3. I tried Exhibit but can't get it to work, uploads images fine but wont add them to the post. Strange.
I don't really need a gallery, just some way to add images to posts. Can be thumbs linked to full size or just full size image. At this stage just looking for something that will be easy for members to add their own images to their posts.
Thanks for any help.

I'm new too, but unless I'm missing something totally obvious, (which has been known to happen!...if you enable uploads of pictures for posters Wp generates the HTML tag to insert into your posts under the "write" tab in the control panel.
Enable the uploads under Options>>Miscellaneous

Yes, that is one option. But it is not user friendly for rookies. Upload, copy html tag, paste html tag into post. Plus there is no option of creating a thumb linked to fullsize image.
There must be other options?

What I did:
1) I created a separate directory for my post pictures in the wp-content directory called postedimages.
2) uploaded all my thumbnails using ftp into the postedimages directory.
3) In admin panel selected "write post" and used the img tag to add image (need to add the path of the image) and then manually typed in the additional html in my post as I wrote the text.
Example post:
Here is a recent photo that I wanted to share:
<img src="http://www.yoursite.com/wp-content/post-images/samplephotobig.jpg" alt="My Photo" />
Just copy and paste the above code and then fill in your own info: i.e. your site address, thumbnail directory, image file name, and the size that you want your popup window to be.
Hope this is the answer that you were looking for.

Not sure what happened in the previous post - 2nd try:
