WordPress – Adding Images and Resizing

October 27, 2010 By Kat M B Leave a Comment

Question from Michael:

Hi Kath,

I’m uploading images (see sample of engaged couple) this image is 1280×1040 and you can see how small it appears. Do you have a different way of uploading the images so they appear larger other than using the image button on the post section?

Hi Michael,

I use the Add an Image button above, as well, when inserting images (or photos) to my WordPress blog posts. Here are a few options you might have missed:

When inserting an image (or photo) there might be a default size selected in the Add an Image window (see below for screenshot).

Adding an image to your WordPress blog post

In your case, the Large is too large for the main window (body) of your blog. So you should select the larger size, and follow the instructions below.

Adjusting an image in your WordPress blog post
WordPress - Adjusting an image in your blog post

Now follow the instructions below. (The body of your blog is set to 590 pixels wide, max.)

Re-sizing an image in your WordPress blog post
WordPress - Re-sizing an image in your blog post

And now you have your image (or photo) at the size you want. If it’s still too big (or small), just follow the last two steps until it’s the size you desire.

Keep in mind when a image (or photo) is clicked, it will open up much larger in another window.
