 * 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?

 * 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.

 * 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](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”&gt](http://www.yourwebsite.com/yourphoto.jpg”&gt);.
   To make it link, before you put the link above you insert [, which will make the image clickable.](http://www.linktothewebsite.com)
 * 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. ](http://www.linktothewebsite.com)
 * Maybe that was confusing. Sorry.

 * 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-225×300.jpg&#8221](http://www.luxvancouverhomes.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Ranch_Park_Lodge_Chilliwack_BC_Loft_View-225×300.jpg&#8221);
   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”&gt](http://www.luxvancouverhomes.com”&gt);
   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. 🙂
