00:00:00,300 --> 00:00:01,260
Hello and welcome.

2
00:00:01,290 --> 00:00:08,740
Now this video we are going to look at uploading media and images to our WordPress site.

3
00:00:08,820 --> 00:00:12,040
Now you'll notice we are inside of the WordPress dashboard.

4
00:00:12,210 --> 00:00:20,860
And in order to upload images we are going to go to the media section when we get to the media section

5
00:00:20,860 --> 00:00:24,550
which you'll notice is that there are no media files currently there.

6
00:00:24,550 --> 00:00:26,980
That's because our WordPress site is new.

7
00:00:26,980 --> 00:00:33,280
Now what we're going to do is we're going to click the Add new button and you'll notice that WordPress

8
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:37,370
will allow us to select files or to drag and drop them in there.

9
00:00:37,420 --> 00:00:43,840
So if you have images that you are going to be using in your WordPress site whether or not you are blogging

10
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:48,730
or whether or not you are using it as a Web site you want to put those images here.

11
00:00:48,910 --> 00:00:50,220
They should be digital images.

12
00:00:50,230 --> 00:00:56,200
And as you can see the maximum upload of the file size is going to be two megabytes.

13
00:00:56,200 --> 00:01:00,640
So what we're going to do right now is we're going to find an image and we are going to upload it.

14
00:01:01,060 --> 00:01:02,380
So we're going to click the.

15
00:01:02,410 --> 00:01:09,640
Select files button and then we're going to go to our harddrive for purposes of this tutorial.

16
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:14,900
We're going to go inside of the sample pictures and you're going to notice several pictures here.

17
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:17,550
Now we're going to use all of these in our Web site.

18
00:01:17,590 --> 00:01:18,490
In our example.

19
00:01:18,490 --> 00:01:26,890
So we're going to click the one at the very left and we're going to literally hit the shift button and

20
00:01:26,890 --> 00:01:29,300
we're going to select all the images.

21
00:01:29,320 --> 00:01:36,210
Now we're then going to click open and you're going to notice that WordPress is going to start to upload

22
00:01:36,210 --> 00:01:39,540
these images into the site.

23
00:01:39,540 --> 00:01:44,730
And once you begin to click on some of the images you will get the opportunity to put in a title to

24
00:01:44,730 --> 00:01:50,700
put it in a caption and we can always come back and use these images over and over and over in our Web

25
00:01:50,700 --> 00:01:58,300
site.

26
00:01:58,310 --> 00:02:08,180
So for example we could say that this is our favorite flower.

27
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:10,030
We all right a description

28
00:02:18,660 --> 00:02:25,350
and then we'll move on to the next image and you'll notice that these images are auto saving so we can

29
00:02:25,350 --> 00:02:31,520
move on to the next one when we have completed what we're going to work with in terms these images will

30
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:39,920
click the X button and then our images will actually be in our wordpress installation for us to use

31
00:02:39,980 --> 00:02:48,680
any time that we like you'll notice that we can also upload document files uploaded a PDA.

32
00:02:49,300 --> 00:02:56,980
We can also load documents such as PowerPoint and Word documents but the main use of your media section

33
00:02:56,980 --> 00:03:02,860
will be to upload images that you were going to use in your pages as well as in your post.

34
00:03:02,920 --> 00:03:08,110
You don't have to upload all of these images before you actually start posting.

35
00:03:08,110 --> 00:03:12,880
You can actually wait until you start the pose so that you can find the appropriate image from your

36
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:17,340
hard drive when you actually are going to create some content.

37
00:03:17,500 --> 00:03:19,890
And we'll be talking about that in a later video.

38
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:21,460
OK.

39
00:03:21,490 --> 00:03:24,760
So with that thanks and I will see you in another video.
