 * Login to your admin interface, go to Options/Miscellaneous, check “Allow File
   Uploads”, save the settings, click the new “Upload” button in your menu bar.

 * How do you view the files you’ve already uploaded? Is there a way to view them
   without ftp’ing into the site and looking there?

 * Upon uploading, WP gives you some HTML code to enter into a post in order to 
   display the image. As for viewing all of the files that you’ve uploaded, you’ll
   need FTP for that.

 * You may also want to enter the extensions like doc, etc in the allowed file extensions
   field.

 * Hi, I have uploaded the file (gif and jpg) and got the HTML code, pasted it into
   the post and got only a picture of the ALT tag text, but no picture. Here is 
   sample of the code I got from WordPress to paste into the document, when uploading
   the file: <img src=’/wp-content/intraekstra_01.gif’ alt=’ALT text’ />
 * Any ideas?

 * Peto
    Go to Options > Misc and change the second URL there. That should sort 
   it out.

 * Thanks podz. I should be more careful next time.
