Learning WordPress

I’ve been trying to learn how to use the latest edition of WordPress for the blog. All I can say is, either I am doing it all wrong (which is totally possible) or the program is a piece of crap! (Which I am hoping because then it would be WordPress’s fault and not mine!)

My biggest problem is inserting my Flickr pictures into the posts. Previously, I could add them, center them and life was good. But now, the program takes over, and my pictures wind up with lots of entry problems.

I seem to spend a lot more time than I ever have setting up the page the way I want. Nice and neat, with my pictures nicely centered.

Does anyone else use Word Press? What’s the easiest way to add pictures from another account, like Flickr?

Here is a picture from Savannah taken last summer, that I am trying to embed, in the center of the page. Let’s just see if I can!

On the draft page it looks correct, but on the web-site it comes out wrong. Eeeeeek!

  1. Do you upload your photos or do you copy the code from Flickr and then insert them? I use my Flickr images and I copy the HTML code, choose the size (beforehand), and then insert in WP on the HTML tab… then I can center it or do whatever.

    If you explain your problem a little more, I might be able to help. Also: are you using WordPress.com or the self-hosted version .org?
