I’m running between three different computers and two different platforms as I collect information on configuring WordPress, so I thought I’d just make a post here that collects some of the best notes I’ve found from various places. Mostly, these notes deal with plugins, hacks, and CSS code for including images in WordPress posts.
The two images I’ve included to date were pretty basic. The first, of the quilt, is just a link to a sized image in my Gallery albums directory. That’s pretty simple, and it represents what will probably be my preferred method of image linking, at least for shots I’ve taken myself. If you’ve got two different tools (in this case, WordPress and Gallery) that each do one thing particularly well, why not just use both rather than try to shoehorn a gallery into WordPress?
I found this link pretty helpful when modding my wp-layout file to enable placement of images within posts.
Exhibit looks like it’ll be a great way to browse for images and bring them into a directory within WordPress. I may end up having duplicates of some images on my hdd, but I’ve got plenty of room on the server. The key thing about Exhibit looks to be that it’ll let me browse my image directories from a post window, which beats the heck out of trying to remember the names of all the folders I created in my Gallery.
