Teaser: Uploading Images Into WordPress Posts

Other than to say that you never leave the post editing panel and you can drag and drop images into your post, I’m just going to let the title and the screenshot do the teasing.

Very nice work. Only through user feedback can the end product become better. The WordPress dev team is doing a great job adding functionality.

Is this finally Owen’s great media tool at work? Or yours? This is very cool.

I wish I knew what Owen’s Great Media Tool was all about, but I’ve never seen it!

You better talk to him! He’s been working on it for 1.6 for a while. You and the Ringmaster – great minds thinking alike.

Its awesome Andy but I’ve found a few bugs with this.
1. Some filenames don’t upload on WP.com (see my blog post) but get added to my uploads gallery.
2. On clicking “Save and Continue Editing” after managing posts, the post preview gets displayed in the Image Upload box aswell.
3. No delete yet.

“a first class refinement” makes me think of first-class functions, which in this context would be images that are made up of other images, or rather, a photoshop uploading tool? Hmm….

Much needed functionality, looks like you are doing a good job with it so far. Can’t wait until it is done.

This looks really great. My only genuine gripe about WP is its lack of a decent image organiser and this looks spectacular.

Any idea if we’ll be able to easily float the images left and right?

That looks like the holy grail for my content submitters. Oh when can we WordPress users have this for our sites, when, PLEASE!?

I feel like such a techno dweeb. Where do I get the image uploader? I tried uploading images with the basic wordpress software and the photo was soooo big it swallowed the page.

See, I didn’t even enter the website in the post properly. It’s a small miracle I can use wordpress the amount I do, but thank god I can type.
