Adding Text to Pictures

Post by EyeBJoe »

I feel certain that this question has been answered numerous times but I am unable to find an answer. In posting pictures of knives is there a way to add text either at the top or bottom of the picture. Or, do you just rename the jpeg and load the picture. Any assistance very much appreciated.

I made an image showing the options for adding captions and descriptions for images. The image is going to added twice. First it will be placed inline. This text is above the image and introduces the image.

This text is below the inline image and provides commentary about the image above. Note that I attached the same image 2 different ways. First inline and second not inline.

If you scroll to the bottom of the post you will see it is not "inline" and has a caption below the image.

You need to pay attention to where your cursor is located when you click "Place inline" because "inline" is defined by where your cursor is located.

I avoid the possibility of posting what others are typing by just letting the smarter people answer posts like this! :lol:
