 * Could someone (or has someone) done a step-by-step image insertion routine? Example:
   1) I am reading a blog; 2) it has a nice chart or photo I want to refer to in
   my blog; 3) I write a paragraph in my blog on the source and why I think it is
   interesting; and 4) I copy the chart/photo into my post for illustration. What
   are the steps I must take witin 1.5 Kubrick? Must it be a whole lot more complex
   than writing the paragraph and pasting the image into an email? If so, sign me“
   Spoiled Emailer” 😉

 * 1. Click the [img] Quicktag.
    2. Enter URL for the image, click OK. 3. Enter 
   descriptive (alternate) text for image, click OK.
 * That’s pretty much it. If you want to place the image on your site and link to
   it there, you’d first need to upload it from your pc. You can do this either 
   through the Upload feature in WordPress, or with a ftp program.

 * Thanks, Franz. If I upload the image to my pc, what then the the URL?
    I feel
   that this is a VERY simple question, but that’s where I’m at. It’s going to be
   awhile longer before I metamorphize into a geek.

 * Uh, Kaf is fine.
 * “If I upload the image to my pc, what then the the URL?”
 * Well, if by “to my pc” you mean to the server where blog4.org resides, then it
   would end up being something like:
 * [http://www.blog4.org/wp-content/image.jpg](http://www.blog4.org/wp-content/image.jpg)
 * You can use WordPress to upload files, but first under Options > Miscellaneous,
   make sure Allow File Uploads is checked, and both ‘Destination directory’ and‘
   URI of this directory’ have the correct information.
 * ‘Destination directory’ requires a full path on the server to the directory you
   wish to upload to. (The recommended path displayed should provide a good example.)
 * ‘URI of this directory’ is just the URL to it, so if you use the recommended,
   this would be:
 * [http://www.blog4.org/wp-content](http://www.blog4.org/wp-content)
 * Uploading through WordPress (Upload tab) should be fairly straightfoward. Here’s
   a little more info on it:
 * [http://wiki.wordpress.org/?pagename=Allow%20File%20Uploads](http://wiki.wordpress.org/?pagename=Allow%20File%20Uploads)
 * Getting a handle on the business of uploading can take a bit of effort, so ask
   if you need more help.
