    Hello,

    I am using WordPressMU and need to display images in my main content area (which is not a blog). I also need to able to size my images.

    Do I need an image plugin? If so, what plug would best suit my needs?

    Thanks.

    Well if the site you want the images on isn't connected to your wpmu install, I have to admit copy and pasting of the image urls may be best.

    Are these images from a single catgeory or site within your wpmu install? Maybe if you gave some specific examples of what you were trying to do, one of us could come up with something.

    Here is my url:
    http://eastcoasttechwriter.ca/wordpress/

    In the main content area I would like to add an image after my text.

    Thanks for that but just a url doesn't give us much to go on. Also is that link, is that where you;re trying to place the images or get images from? Where specifically are the images?

    Can you walk us through with specifics as to what you;re trying to do?

    This is what I have done (and fyi I think it is wrong).

    The sky theme has 3 parts:

    sidebar2.php
    - The Left div where I have put my boxes (Account Login etc.)
    sidebar.php
    Where I have added side_wyatt.jpg as a background image.

    index.php
    Where I have added my text "Welcome to Wyatt... etc."

    I have uploaded the image news_01.jpg to a folder inside my "theme/sky" directory called "build".

    Example: <img src="/build/news_01.jpg">

    I am new to this and I think this is where I have messed up.

    Thanks

    Kathy, your best bet is to put that theme back to it's original state. You do not need to edit the theme to put text in it.

    The theme automatically pulls the content from the posts or pages you write from the backend. If you want a single page on the main landing page of the site, write the Page for it in the admin area. then set that page to be at the front. the write page area has buttons for adding images.

    Thanks Andrea,

    I did that and it is working fine now.
    However, I have assigned and order of "0" to the Home page,
    but the id=32.

    How do I fix that?

    Fix what? The order "0" and the page ID have no relation to one another.

    If you make a page called Home and want it displayed first, go to Setting -> Reading and check out the options there.

    you may want to view the videos at wordpress.tv for basic skills.
