photo plugin
If you’re looking for a great plugin for WordPress to help you add photos to your entries, I highly recommend PhotoPress. I originally found it on the Target Culture blog that I contribute too, and I’ve now added it to all of my blogs.
Initially, I started out using the photo insert tool that is available in the WYSISYG (what you see is what you get) editor in Wordpress. I wasn’t very happy with the way it formatted the pictures, and I stopped using the editor due to it deleting code when I tried to embed YouTube videos, so I was in search of something new.
Enter PhotoPress! If you’re using the rich-text editor for Wordpress, never fear, you can still use this plugin. PhotoPress is easy to install and start using. Once you’ve got it all set up, in your editor you’ll notice a “photos” button when you type a new entry. Hitting this allows you to browse for, and upload a new picture. You’ll then have the option of displaying a thumbnail, or the original in your post. All the photos are also added to an album on your site, and the thumbnails can also be displayed in your sidebar.
The whole thing is very user friendly. The pop-up uploader, pop-up image browser, the random image function, and the album are great tools to add to any Wordpress blog.

Colleen, my uploader works with the wysiwyg turned off. Can’t help you with the format issues. Will you be covering/could you be covering some basic picture/post formatting? Things like-how to get a space between the picture and the words? I can’t even geek speak the right term, LOL! Is it padding, maybe??
