We have all three pages up now, thanks to Colin Jago. Please check them out. This is the page for comments, though.
This tutorial is in three parts:
a) Loading images into a post when you already have an image that it the right size for the post.
b) Loading images into a post when you want WordPress to sort the sizing out.
c) Preparing images for the web.
Update: Placing images in comments
1. First, the image has to live on the web. If it’s not there already, put it on any site you control (anyone can get a free blog or photo sharing space you can upload to). If you wrote the post or have a dummy post, it could be uploaded to the post. To get the URL to use to reference it, insert it into the post, then find it in the html. Don’t save the change!
2. To get the image into the comment, just include a line like the following:
3. Since images are common in spam, occasionally an image-containing post is mis-identified as spam. Let an admin know and we’ll fix it.

Colin – very nice job – thanks much for doing this!
Rex – the “subpages” are appearing in the sidebar – not sure if you wanted that or not. I was controlling which pages appeared in sidebar in the call to the API for showing pages in sidebar.php. I was listing all the pages to exclude but at this point it might make more sense to just list the few pages to include (probably can’t use the same API to do this but it’s doable – might have to just list each separately).
Lisa, oh, is that how you did it. I was wondering.
I had no intention at all regarding how the sub pages appeared other than to leave it both ways for now so that people’s attention would get drawn to the new pages. They do take up a bit of sidebar space what with the long titles. Once our users have tested and familiarized themselves, and barring objections, I’ll condense the look again.
Rex/Lisa – nae bother.
Please do improve it, or correct it, as makes sense.
