Now it's time to upload all those optimized images to your site. You will need to have an open page or post to add media.

Click on Add Media, it is at the top left of your post or page.

Here is a nice little trick I learnt. You can add the entire folder of images by dragging and dropping it anyplace on the media page. All the images will be added at once.

Open your file manager and look for the file of images you just optimized. Put your mouse over the file and hold down the left button on your mouse. Drag your mouse with the folder to the Media Library page and let go of the mouse button. All the images in that folder will be added and are ready for you to use in your blog.

Your not done yet, there is still more to do!

Next we will be adding content to your images. Yes, images need content too!

Hi Cathy, thanks for sharing.

Just one question - why do we need to do the Tiny PNG step at all? What does that process add of value, instead of just downloading the image without using it?

Thanks

Natalie

Hi Cathy,
Thank you for this very timely information. I was just reading about this very topic earlier today and my brain short circuited! Your explanation was very simple and easy to follow. I am going to add this to my favorites for later reference. You mentioned using a program called Tiny PNG. Is this a free service, or do you need to pay to use it? If so, how much? Thanks for your help!
Kathy
