WordPress Wednesday: Press This Tool

The more I learn about WordPress the more I realize I have to learn. The “Press This” tool is quite a tool, to not have to think about logging into your site in order to do a quick post may be exactly what is needed to get your blogging habit back on track.

For my bookmarks toolbar I use Xmarks which you can sync across computers and different browsers. Hmm, I”m sensing another tutorial….

Thanks to Andy Traub for introducing me to this cool little tool!

WordPress Wednesday: Adding an image to a post or page

Adding an image to your blog post or page is actually quite easy.

By using the dialog box in the editor you can select a file from your computer or use the URL where the image is stored. Once the image has been added you can also edit the image:

  • Add a link to make the image clickable
  • Change the size
  • Add a border
  • Add extra spacing around the image so there is padding between the text and the image

Now you can dress up your blog posts and pages with an image… a picture is worth a thousand words!
