Inserting Images into Your Blog Posts

You can add images to a post pretty easily by using the WordPress image
uploader. Jump right in and give it a go by clicking the Upload an Image icon
on the Add New Post page. The Add an Image window that appears lets you
choose images from your hard drive or from a location on the Web (see
Figure 3-1).
The interface that WordPress uses for file uploads is based on Adobe Flash.
Flash is a specific set of multimedia technologies programmed to handle
media files on the Web. Some browsers and operating systems aren’t config-
ured to handle Flash-based applications. If you experience difficulties with
the Add an Image window, WordPress gives you an easy alternative: Click
the Browser Uploader link in the Add an Image window to use a non-Flash-
based uploader to transfer your files.
