How To Easily Add Images To A Blog Post?

    Hi,

    I'm writing a post on my blog and I want to include a lot of images. I've uploaded the images using FTP, to the images folder on my blog, and I was hoping I could simply link using the HTML code within the blog post - I thought this would save me having to individually select and upload each image.

    However when I view my blog, the images aren't showing. Any idea why this might be?



    Thanks for any help :)

    Thanks.

    Anyone know where I can find this plugin?

    I thought that as I had uploaded the images using FTP to my /images folder, I could simply code my blog post to link directly to these images on the directory?

    First upload image and then add below given code where you want to add that image.

    <div style="float:right; padding:0 10px 10px 0;"><img src="location of your image" alt="" width="100" height="100" /></div>
    Code (markup):
    float: Left or Right whereever you want. Height and width as you want.

    DON.

    Thanks Don, this was what I was trying to do but couldn't quite get the directory to the image right, sorted it out now though.


    Thanks :)

    I host just about all of my pictures for my website on photobucket. That way I can reuse them on different sites and let photobucket deal with bandwidth.

    Photobucket gives you about 4 codes for embedding the images into your site or blog. Make the gallery private so people can not see all of your images. Resize the images to 640X480 and you can fit thousands of pictures in one photobucket account. Plus, when you back up your website, you do not have to back up the images. :)

    If you want to use html code, photobucket gives this to you already with alt tags. Edit the alt tags to give your site better seo.

    You don't need to add a div to use the code deluxdon suggested. You can define it right in the img tag.
