Adding your images will be different in WordPress. These will be images that you already have on your computer or that you will upload to your computer.

Pixabay.com is one I use the most to download images if I don't use a image from the media tab in SiteContent. I find a lot of pictures that are free.

When you go to pixabay.com you can search what type of picture you are looking for. Just don't click on one that has a yellow background as they are not free.

If you find one you like click on it and if you look to the right it will show if it is free with no attribute. You want to click the smallest size as the larger ones may load slow.

Having larger images on your website may cause them to load slower. Your visitors will not like that.

Depending on the option you chose when you have finished with your post/page in SiteContent you might have to login in if you did not choose the option to edit post in WordPres.

Click on website and then to the right you will see login. Since the release of the new UX this feature has made it a little more simpler than the previous way.

Once you log in you will notice the menu on your left. You will click on posts or pages depending what it is you need to add images to or edit.

Once you click on posts/pages you will click all posts/pages and then you can click on the title of the one you need.

If you hover over the title you will notice at the bottom there is edit, quick edit and delete. You can click on the title or click on edit.

When it brings up the post/page you are going to add an image to, you will notice it will have upload files and media library.

Very useful Lee, one comment if I may, when I use WA blog and insert a picture, I have to remember to move the page up, otherwise I cannot see the insert button as it is hidden by the picture which usually means starting again Just a thought

Edwin,
I didn't include adding images to W A blog/post. Maybe I should have huh?

I just see many new members that have questions about adding images to there post and thought I would just create training to show them how.

Creating the training took longer than I thought because adding the images for it was a little different as well.

I believe I can go in ad edit the training and add "Adding Images To W A Blog?Post". Might be a couple of days until I can do it.

Thank you for your "thought". It is definitely a good one.

Thank you very much Jangle.
I am really hoping that it will help some new members and maybe relive some of their stress when it comes to adding images.

Xavier,
Thank you.
It is like the saying goes "A day late and a dollar short". : )

Hopefully it will be able to help someone out there in W A land.
Sorry it wasn't in time for you.

In all seriousness, can you think of an issue that you may have had when adding images that I might have missed?

Like Edwin brought up there difference when you add images to a post/blog on our W A profile. Which I will be adding to the training at some point.
