Overview<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When creating or editing a WordPress page or blog post, you can easily add images at any time using the WordPress Media Uploader tool. Here\u2019s how to add an image, step-by-step, using the media uploader:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In order to add an image to your page or post, you must first insert your cursor in the place in the text where you want the image to appear. By placing your cursor within your text, you can add images inline with your content. You can also place your cursor on a blank line if you want the image to appear by itself instead.

\nTip: It\u2019s a good idea to place your cursor on the left margin of your text<\/strong>, even if you want the image to appear on the right. That\u2019s because there is a special setting called Alignment that allows you to control whether the image appears on the right or the left side of the text. It even controls how text flows around the image automatically.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2 \u2013 Click the Add Media button<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Once you\u2019ve placed your cursor on the line where you want your image to appear, click on the Add Media button to launch the media uploader interface, and then select the Insert Media option from the list of actions in the left side of the media uploader window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
