- You can upload images using one of two methods:
- Drag and drop the photo from your computer to the Insert Media area.
- Click Select Files. Find the appropriate file and choose the image.
- After the upload is complete, the meta data information appears below. There are a number of options for adding/editing metadata such as title, alternate text, caption, etc. All fields, except Title, are optional.
TIP: We recommend including a description of the image in the Alternate Text field, as it will make your blog more accessible to visitors who utilize screen readers.

- Click Insert Into Post when you are satisfied with the metadata and formatting.
- Once you insert an image into a post, you can edit your metadata or image positioning:
