# [Plugin: NextGEN Gallery] Insert gallery

 * So… I need some basic help with this. I downloaded the NextGen Gallery plugin,
   and Image Flow. I created a gallery, but I can’t figure out how to add the gallery
   to my post. When I edit my post, and click on the “upload an image” icon, it 
   gives me the option to upload from url, from media gellery, next gen, image flow
   etc. When I click on Next Gen, it brings up the gallery (I only have 1 gallery
   so far) but it won’t let me do anything. When I click on image flow, it adds 
   this to my post [imageflow id=”1″]
 * When you go to my post, it shows the image flow, and I can scroll through – but
   instead of my photos, they’re all blank with the little blue question mark icon.
   If I click on the little icons, it opens up the individual photos on a separate
   page. So confused! Please help – I’m such a newbie!

 * you should see an icon at the end of your tool (next to kitchen sink) to automatically
   insert a NG gallery. otherwise, just type the code in manually [nggallery id=
   X] where X is your gallery id number.
