Chapter 3: Uploading and Displaying Photos and Galleries

In This Chapter

  • Using the built-in image-upload feature
  • Inserting a photo in your post
  • Creating photo galleries in WordPress

Adding images and photos to your posts can really dress up the content. By using images and photos, you give your content a dimension that you can't express in plain text. Through visual imagery, you can call attention to your post and add depth to it. With WordPress, you can insert single images or photographs, or (by using a few nifty plugins) you can turn some of the pages in your site into a full-fledged photo gallery.

In this chapter, you can discover how to add some special touches to your blog posts by adding images and photo galleries, using the built-in image upload feature and image editor in WordPress.
