Adding Pictures to Moveable Type Blog Entires

[RickB]

Hi,

 

I just installed, actually had MT insall, Moveable Type as my site engine at www.abely.com. Is there a way to include/upload picture/photos with the blog comment entry?

 

Thanks, Rick

Rick,

 

I am also a newcomer to Movable Type and I am very impressed by its capabilities.

 

To put a picture in your blog, first click on the "Upload File" button on the "New Entry" screen. Once you upload the picture file, you will be given several options regarding the uploaded file. One of them is to make and entry involving the file and there will be options about creating a thumbnail, etc. Just pick the options you want, write your entry, publish it, and voila you have a nice new entry with a picture associated with it.

 

Hope this answers your question well enough???

Rick,

 

Sorry I haven't gotten that far along with MT but I have also been looking at that option as well since I do a lot of personal amateur photography that I would like to display on my site.

 

I thought about creating a photo gallery using Adobe Photoshop Elements and just placing a link to it from the main page of MT which involves editing the index template of MT and having to use only minimal HTML.

 

I also Googled for MT plugins that would integrate galleries and came up with a really good site:

As with most MT plugins I've come across there's a lot of reading to do to get them to work properly. If you come across anything simpler yourself, please let me know.

 

Sorry I didn't have a better answer. I know there are MT users out there that have a lot more knowledge about it than I do especially on the MT users forum at the MT site. That also would probably be a good place for both of us to look.
