I just want to understand how you think this is going to work. You want to display an image on the front page of your blog that will link to another image on your blog when the user clicks on the post title? You have a strange way of thinking about how blogs work.

The front page of your blog is traditionally where people read your blog posts in chronological order. Today, it is not the most important, nor necessarily the most visited page on your site compared to the rest of your pages. Most people enter through your site on other pages, and if they see what they like, they may click through to the front page, but most likely they will click around on your most recent posts, most popular posts, related posts, and post categories. But people are still obsessed with the looks of the front page of their blogs.

You can set up a custom field (in the Write Post Panel) that displays an image that is not in your blog post. When people click through, they will see whatever you put in the blog post content area (in the Write Post Panel editor). You can read more about this in the WordPress Codex Using Custom Fields article, where you can also find a lot more information on using WordPress. There are Plugins that will help you do this, but this is the most simple method and a built in function of WordPress.

Depends upon your blog program. The self-hosted version of WordPress will allow images to be added to comments, though many find it really annoying and the images tend to not be well formed, ruining the look of the comment section unless special care is given to its design. WordPress.com does not allow images in comments, nor do many other blog programs.

Wow, what a nice list Thanks for the sharing.

I might need a little help as I’ve been looking around using images on my wp post so a little clarification will help me a lot….

I’m trying to upload a couple of images to my wp post. I’ll like to display one small image on my main page and I’ll like to diaplay another one when I click on a read more or on the post title.

I’, brand new with WP but will like to know also where I can enable the read more link on my posts. Thanks for any kind of help and again, thanks you for sharing this plugin list.

Appreciate you help. Thanks so much.

That turns things into ecommerce. Look up Plugins with that keyword (and be sure and use the word “plugin” not “plug in” as that is something you plug into the wall and I know you want to find a solution) and keywords like “store” and “selling photographs”. You might find something, but I’ve not see anything. Which doesn’t mean much. I can’t keep up with the thousands of WordPress Plugins out there, and I only monitor free Plugins. There are services which sell paid Plugins which may offer this service.

On the Write Post Panel, there are a small row of icons at the top of the Edit box to the right. Click Images and you will see an option to upload more than one image at a time (or you can do it one at a time) if you have Flash enabled. Save the “changes” once you upload and then switch to the Gallery Tab. There the information is on how to insert the gallery into the post.

The images are all associated with their post ID number, the post you are working on at the time you upload the images. It’s their “folder” so to speak. Using the gallery shortcode, you can crate a gallery of images with the post ID number.

Unfortunately, the only ways to find the Post ID number with WordPress 2.5 if you have pretty permalinks enabled is when you write the post. Hit SAVE and the address bar of your browser will show the post ID in the URL or if you hover over the post title in the Manage Posts panel and have the Status Bar turned on in your browser. Hopefully, the Post ID number will be restored or shown better in future versions.
