  • I am a virtual rookie in the blogging world. More puter literate than the average bear, BUT very illiterate in the WP world.

  • How are you inserting the images to your posts?

    I am using WP 3.5.1

    I am using photobucket images.

    I copy and paste the url of the image to the media folder

    The photo populates in the desired location

    I set the border

    I update the image

    I “view post”

    No image

    Thanks for your feedback I am very grateful for your direction!

    Hi Ron,

    I tried doing the same with Photobucket and WordPress. Here’s what I did and it worked:

    1. Upload photo on Photobucket
    2. Copy the “Direct Link”
    3. Went to my WordPress dashboard post editor
    4. Clicked on “Add Media”
    5. To the left I chose “Insert Media”, fourth option
    6. Pasted the “Direct Link” (the one with the file extension: hello.png, hello.jpg..)
    7. Saved and previewed and everything’s working.

    Does it work for you?

    As a side tip, if you have gigabytes of storage for your hosting, it would be better if you host your images on your own server.
