Adding images, or video directly from Flickr really couldn’t be simpler.

Just tell flickr where your blog is on the blog settings page, and then you can just push the “blog this” button that’s above every image and video on the site.

Up pops a box so that you can write your post (though you may want to edit it later in WordPress itself so that you can add formatting) and it’s job done.

Multiple pictures

In this post I’ll be adding a bunch of photos and videos from various sources, just to see how well wordpress copes with these things.

For instance:

A square-bracketted tag with this in:
flickr video=2476277580
Shows:

It’s also dead easy to upload images directly from your computer, though keep in mind you only get 3gb of space on wordpress for things like that!:

For instance, here’s a picture of an A10 Thunderbolt that I happened to have up my sleeve. I’ve center aligned just to show various alignments

Now we’ver done that, lets thieve someone else’s picture from google image search.

The first result for a search on ”beebok” is (right aligned):

Or, much like most of my other posts, I can just link to one of mine, or anybody’s images on flickr.
For example, Zoe meets zome of her second cousins:

Now, it’s about time we tried out the ‘more tag’. You can add these little things so that the post doesn’t keep going and going and going, taking over the whole front page (much like this one has).

Cheak the “Read More” link and this post will expand so you can read what else I’ve wittered on about…

WordPress also, happily handles content that’s been cut and paste from Word, and even maintains the formatting:

This is a numbered list:

1. One

2. Two

3. Three

This is an unordered bulleted list:

· Bullet1

· Bullet2

· Bullet 3

This shows various indentation levels:

1. Oh

a. Dear

b. What

2. Can

a. The

i. Matter

ii. Be?

And here are is an unordered list of links:

§ www.mediasurface.com

§ www.google.com

It’ll even handle tables!
Though any images have to be inserted via the blog software itself since they have to be hosted somewhere.

Cell 1	Something interesting here	Another cell
A whole new row	of interesting	Things!

This is some more text that will show on the blog:
