The Trouble With Images & WP

There still seems to be a widespread fear of using images with WordPress blogs and that’s caused not only by the different methods that are available to get images on the platform but various plugins and different versions of WP

oiltempI hear stories about images covering some text, text not wrapping the image correctly, the images not sitting to the right or left of the text correctly. It’s enough to make your blood boil!

I’ll admit it, I too have suffered from these challenges with images on wordpress from time to time.

Since the latest version of WordPress (2.7) I’ve found the troubles with images and WP to be a thing of the past.

Here’s the second image I uploaded – something that also seems to cause a few complications. I never use anything but the “browser” uploader in WP Admin and it seems to be just fine. This image is full size but positioned to the left of thelaugh text.

Watch the video showing how I did this inside the WordPress Admin area  – it will open in a new window. Very quick blogging instructions you might find useful.

If anyone knows what the score is regarding the “flash uploader” I’d love to hear from you.
