Thank u

This is a really good tutorial. Thank you Marion. I have followed all your steps and it works fine as long as I'm logged in to Wordpress, showing the image on the page. But when I log out, the website starts just showing a black square where the image should ahve been and flags up errors. Am I doing something wrong?

@musiccake8 I would double-check your image URL is correct - put it into a new browser window and see if it displays properly. Secondly, I would double-check you have the HTML code right. Post your website URL here and I'll take a look.

Thanks for your comment, tmtjas. To adjust the size of your image, I'd recommend you do it before you upload it to your media library. You probably have image editing software already on your computer. If not, install a free package like Irfanview or Picasa.

You can also reduce the size of your image once you have uploaded it to your media library but if your image is very large, I'd recommend you reduce it before uploading.

how can u adjust the size of the image ?

nice tutorial though :-)

Yes, you're absolutely right and thanks for your comment. Personally I always use CTRL + A, C and V - but I felt more people are more familiar with right-clicking. Still, I agree it would be more consistent to use the CTRL functions.

if you use ctrl-a to select all, you might as well also use ctrl-c to copy and ctrl-v to paste
