I use lots of photos on my blog and the best plugin I’ve found is Mudbomb’s WYSI, http://mudbomb.com/archives/2005/02/02/wysiwyg-plugin-for-wordpress/ . It supports making of thumbnails, is extremely easy to use, and can also be used with another Java plugin by m3nt0r to display the images beautifully (http://www.m3nt0r.de/blog/lightbox-wordpress-plugin/) It’s all very easy to install and there is virtually no configuration needed. You can take a look at it on the site above and I’m also using it on my site, http://www.AdventureDad.com
Good luck

Give a look at Image Manager from http://soderlind.no – it allows a lot of customization.

Hi vkaryl and Adventure Dad,
Thank you for your help.
I uploaded wysi-wordpress several times but it doesn’t work for me. When I activate it, there isn’t any functionality. I get the buttons etc., (although the images don’t show up on three of the buttons). I think I am doing something wrong with the upload but I’m not sure. I uploaded the zipped file and then extracted all of the files to a directory in my plugins called wysi-wordpress. That did not work. I then made directories one at a time and uploaded the corresponding files (a lot of work) and that did not work. I tried each method twice to no avail.
As far as Image Maker from http://soderlind.no goes, the link will not work for me.
I’m not sure what to ask or what to do at this point, other than to look for more plugins.
Thanks again,
Andy
Hi AndyW – try http://www.soderlind.no/ – without the 3w works fine for me, but might be different for you.

Hi vkaryl,
Maybe there is a problem with my browser. I get a blank page.
Andy
Huh. Okay. Let me upload it here: http://bytehaven.com/tmp/ImageManager2.37.zm9 – give me a few minutes, ‘kay?
[You may need to download 7zip from http://7-zip.org/ to extract this archive – winrar will do so…. but 7zip is free….]
[[and it’s there now for you….]]

Very cool vkaryl! Thanks heaps.
I’ll give it a whirl.
I’ll let you know tomorrow how it went.
thanks for your help.
Andy
You’re welcome. Let me know if I can help further (though I have to say I don’t use any of the image sort of plugins; I use windows live writer, and then tweak the generated output to make it validate….)
