The question:

When creating a new blog post, and uploading images with the
goal of inserting them into the post @ full size (mine are 800px
on the long end)...what is the quickest way?

I've been uploading 1 by 1, and then clicking "insert into post",
and the process takes for flippin ever. Is there a faster way? Or
is this just the downside of wordpress?

J

there are LOTS of auto resizing plugins that will take an image at full size and produce the thumbnail automatically for you to drop into your post/gallery.

just search google or the wordpress extend database

J,

I think you'll find this blog post I wrote to be very helpful:

If the content helps, blog love is always appreciated

FTP is so quick its not even funny.

Get a FTP client. Navigate to the folder where you want to save them. Embed into wordpress. Copy, paste over and over, then change the image #.

fast image insert plug in.... i just hit upload from computer and insert all into post.

Those of you who are saying you use the FTP method... I take it that you rename your files in some way before uploading to the blog... with sequential numbers for instance, correct?

Otherwise I don't see how you would do this the way you describe.

For instance... here are two filenames from one of my most recent blog posts (not published yet):

20091008_164750_5D_0378-edit.JPG
20091008_182210_40D_7822.JPG

having to retype that in would be nutzers...

You must be doing something like isolating the images you want to blog and then using an export preset with a filename set to somehting like CoupleLastNameXX.JPG

Is that what you're doing?

I export all blog pics from lightroom to a blog folder and custom name/sequence. For the name I use Chicago-Joliet-wedding(or engagement)-couples name and then that shows up as alt text for seo and adds to key wording. Then like I said I'll use up load from computer and insert all. Sound alot easier than FTP and renaming.

this is the part im having issues with. "upload from computer"
only lets me click "insert into post" one at a time, and each
time I have to go back into the upload from computer section
again and do the entire process over.

did thee read me blog post?

did thee get thee the plugin?

Why does thee protest if thee does not doeth the workywork?

Of course you could also do it the way those FTP dinosaurs do it... they prolly even write their posts in HTML rather than the visual thinghie

totes missed your post. got it now. reading...

Oh, the LRMogrify plugin is very handy for resizing, inserting logo, adding borders etc as export preset for LR.

--- Although I'd love to find out from Tony how he does rounded borders on his, that's way cool.

Then just FTP everything up.

I just use MS livewriter. I compose posts, insert images and then hit the upload button. Simple

Like I said... J could have just read the blog post... plugin and Livewriter, definitelly the way to go (ftp not a bad alternative at all of course just maybe more steps than necessary)

Oh and J... see where Tony up there said "FTP NERD" ... lemme tell you... it really doesn't get any lower than getting basically called a n00b by a MAC guy. That's like getting beaten up by the smallest CHICK in the class

(had to get in the mandatory daily Mac user swipe)
