 * Pepper,
 * Are you asking where to input the content that’s extracted from the database?
   If so, that’s the WordPress Admin.

 * Can you be more clear?

 * Hi Chase,
 * sorry, I am not really sure about all this so let me see if I can clarify…
 * Basically I want to update some images that are located in the content section.
   I am trying to find where they are -on the backend -so I can update the images
   that are in this section? i can’t seem to find it so I wasn’t sure…and was looking
   for some direction on how to track these down so I can update them…
 * the puzzle piece set up here is new for me…
 * thanks so much

 * the_content( ) is a function that extracts the content of each individual post
   in a WordPress install.
 * To change the_content( ), you are really just making changes per individual post
   through your WordPress Administration panel.
 * If you type “[http://[yoururl.com]/admin&#8221](http://[yoururl.com]/admin&#8221);(
   assuming your WordPress install lives at the root of your site, it should bring
   up an administration page where you login.
 * Once logged in, the “Dashboard” will have options on the left side of the page.
   Click on “Posts” and your content lives there (or in “Pages” depending on if 
   it’s a blog post you want to edit or an informational page).
 * Hope that helps. This is basic WordPress 101 stuff…
 * Here’s a video on how to login to your Administration panel:
