* Could someone help me please.
* I need the facility of inserting small images into posts – the small images should
be linked to larger ones.
* I have looked at the plug ins, and I’m a bit confused with what I need.
* Can anyone help?

* You don’t need a plugin for that – just learn the tool you are using: when writing
a post, upload the image, select Thumbnail + Linked to file + Send top editor
etc.

* Moshu a little side note from personal experience. The thumbnail option isn’t
available if php is compiled with gd support. I spent two days figuring this
out. I’m not sure about how some hosts do it, but my default installation of
php on a CentOS server didn’t have gd.

* Ok thanks for the reply.
* The thing is using the default way, it doesn’t matter what position you choose
for the image, ie left, right, centre etc – it ALWAYS goes to the left of the
post and this isn’t what I want. I want the flexibility of being able to decide.

* That’s a _theme specific_ issue and without a link there is no way to get help.

* Need a link to the site your having this problem on. Also a specific post that
has the problem would be good to.

* Here are 2 posts I’ve just done – I haven’t added the link from the small picture
to the large picture because I know how to do that.
* [http://weswapu.com/swap/?p=14](http://weswapu.com/swap/?p=14) Image should be
right
* [http://weswapu.com/swap/?p=15](http://weswapu.com/swap/?p=15) Image should be
middle

* Read your own stylesheet, everything is there:
* ```
/* Begin Images */
.png { behavior: url(http://weswapu.com/swap/wp-content/themes/mandigo/js/iepngfix.htc.php?blank=http://weswapu.com/swap/wp-content/themes/mandigo/images/1x1.gif); }
p img { max-width: 95%; }
.entry img {
float: left;
margin: 3px 10px 3px 0px;
background: #fff;
border: 1px solid #333;
padding: 3px;
}
img.nofloat, img.nowrap, .nofloat img, .nowrap img, .smallattachment img, .attachment img, .entry img.wp-smiley { float: none; }
.entry img.wp-smiley {
border: 0;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
background: transparent;
}
img.noborder {
background: inherit;
border: 0;
padding: inherit;
}
img.centered {
display: block;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
float: none;
}
img.alignright, img.alignleft {
display: inline;
}
.alignright { float: right; }
.alignleft { float: left }
/* End Images */
```
* and use the proper classes…

* Ok, perhaps you’d be good enough to point out what is wrong so I can correct
it.
* This style sheet was the one installed with the style I’ve chosen.
* Thanks

* NOTHING is wrong – so you don’t have to correct anything.
* You just need to use the classes (as I said above) to position your images.
* I assume all your posts/entries are inside a div class “entry” and inside that
ALL your images ae floated to the left, by default – see the
`.entry img { etc....`
rule in your stylesheet.
* Next, if you want your image centered, you add the “centered” class to the code:
`
` For right: `
` Also, you can add the class “noborder” if
you wish so.
* If you want to maintain a site and modify themes – get familiar with CSS and
other basic stuff.

* Oh right – so you are talking about editing the code of the post? That wasn’t
clear from your first post.

* **and use the proper classes…**
That was in my first post. You can “use” them
only in your posts, I guess.

* I appreciate your help Moshu, thank you for taking the time to explain – sorry
for asking for confirmations, not all of us are experts like yourself. 😉
* All of this takes me back to my original request, that it would be nice to have
a plug in that I could just click insert picture, click change size and click
choose position.
* It would be easier for the less experienced.

* Ok – I’ve looked in the style sheets I could find and no mention of classes called
entry.
* I tried using the code listed above in the post, but that hasn’t worked either.
* Any other suggestions, or perhaps you could clarify what is being suggested above.
* Thanks very much.

* Once again would someone kindly help me. I have to say some of the sideswipes
above aren’t particularly helpful – it’s all well and good if you are an expert,
but others of us are starting on the learning process.

* That’s EXACTLY what I’m trying to do here!
* Where can I find that css listed above and where do I add the code to organise
the position of my images.
* I’ve just spoken to a friend who knows a little more than me – and he didn’t
understand what was being said either!
* Thanks again for your help.
