Adding Pictures to Wordpress.

I would like to add some sort of picture funtion to Wordpress. It would be too handy to be able to upload images.

Anyone with idea's?

You've all ready got it. ^_- Just login to WordPress's admin interface, and go to Options/Miscellaneous, choose your upload directory, and check the box that says "Allow File Uploads". Now, you'll see a new tab in your admin interface called "Upload". If you see a message stating that WordPress does not have write permissions for your upload directory, set your upload directory's permissions to 777 (CHMOD 777).

Wow! That is fantastic ! Thanks for pointing that out.

Cheers,

By the way, about uploading pictures.
in the "Allow File Uploads" section there is an example of destination directory and an example of a URI of that directory.
Should I keep those ones or change them to something else?
They recommend something like:
/home/.wagnall/user/mydomain.net/wpdir/wp-content
Could someone tell me what is .wagnall?
Thanks

I would definately change that "suggested" path. While it will work initially, the ".wagner" part of the URL is a Dreamhost "dataglob" that *is* subject to change at Dreamhost's discretion.

Should that change, you Wordpress will break. Instead of using the suggested "/home/.wagnall/user/mydomain.net/wpdir/wp-content", change it to "/home/user/mydomain.net/wpdir/wp-content" and it will still work, and will not break if Dreamhost reconfigures. Of course, you can use a different directory if you choose to do so.

Either way, I would remove the "dataglob" from the path.

Thanks for the tip rlparker.
I've tried it and I think I'll keep with your opinion...

Once again, thanks
