WordPress 2.5+ Tutorial – How to Upload and Insert an Image
This beginner-level tutorial shows how to insert an image using WordPress version 2.5 or later. Inserting an image using WordPress version 2.5 or 2.6 is slightly different than inserting an image using WordPress version 2.3 or earlier. Versions 2.5 and 2.6 are essentially the same. Version 2.6 is the latest version as of July 2008.
Inserting an image that you have already uploaded to WordPress but haven’t used in a particular post or page is actually a bit confusing in version 2.5 or later. You need to be able to find the elusive “Insert into Post” button. It’s not obvious.
There are many other settings and features in the “Add media” tools in the WordPress editing interface. This tutorial covers only the most basic aspects of uploading and inserting an image.

WordPress 2.5+ Tutorial – How to Wrap Text Around an Image
This beginner-level tutorial by Mark McLaren of McBuzz Communications teaches you to wrap text around an image using WordPress version 2.5 or later. And it shows how to insert an image and align it left, right or center.
In earlier version 2.3 and earlier of WordPress, it was necessary to use the Code (HTML) editing window to insert a bit of HTML (using cascading style sheets) to get images and text to line up right.
WordPress 2.5 and 2.6 improve text wrapping. Additional HTML code is not necessary. Just use the Add an Image dialog box to set image alignment, and text wraps nicely and aligns well with the image.
