One of the best features of WordPress 2.6 and above is the built-in Gallery that makes displaying multiple photos a ‘one-click’ event.

But wait! Before you start uploading, make sure that you have the Firefox browser installed. Up to now, (the current WordPress release), photo uploads is still only optimized for Firefox. The photo upload functionalities still does not work well with Internet Explorer (though it is the dominant browser) and quite frankly, I don’t even know if it works well with Safari and Opera. So, just to be safe, please download Firefox and install it.

And since this is a tutorial, I’ll also discuss some tips on posting articles.

Step 1: The Title

By default, WordPress makes your title the ‘file name’ of your article/post.
Some things to consider:
1. Don’t make it too long. Short titles are better than long ones
2. If you are using apostrophes or quotes in your title, make sure you correct them in the ‘edit title area.’
3. A title like ‘Heidi Klum’s New Stardoll’ will not be linked properly because Klum’s will come out as Klum%95%s in your title.

Below is how to correct your title.

I have highlighted in RED the area where you could edit your title. Click on EDIT.

Once you click edit, you can put your cursor inside and you can edit the title. For the example, the title was shortened to ailanto-spring-2009

Another thing, Wordpress also automatically adds the dash (-) in between words, so you don’t have to do that. That means the title Ailanto Spring 2009 was written exactly like that on the title and WordPress translated it into all lowercase with the dashes in between. Click on SAVE (in the highlighted area) when you are done.
