I've noticed quit a few of you have some great images on your websites.
If you should want to add a caption, WordPress makes this easy to do with the default editor.
Here's a blow-by-blow example that you can follow if you want to do this yourself.
  • In the WP editor, select the image (click on it) that you want to add a caption to. It will grey out and two little icons will appear - don't hit the delete icon!

  • With the image editor dialogue box open, you can enter some text into the field labelled 'caption'!

And if you were wondering, yes, that really is me!
