File URL links to the full-size original alone, Post URL to the so-called attachment page (a useless extra step).

And you only need to do that once: the uploader will then remember your preference.

Before you click, "insert into post", click on the "Post URL" button, THEN click "insert into post". This worked for me!

Where should I be looking on the page, maybe I have a similar blind spot?

coachnotes.wordpress.com - I assumed that meant I had a wp.com blog?? If I am wrong about THIS, I obviously need to have my computer confiscated until I can figure out this technology stuff.

I hit Show again from the Import/Media Library screen and now I do see "insert into post" - I am not going to kill any more brain cells trying to figure out why this was not apparent earlier - but I do appreciate everyone's help. Maybe your support karma made it magically appear. Stranger things have happened.

Thanks again.

Unless I'm missing something, it's either loose terminology or (more likely) not a wp.com blog.

Good point. I was assuming he/she was clicking on the little icon that is like a TV screen or a monitor on the editor page. But now I tried to check the address, and the name doesn't seem to be .com. (thought I'd checked—blame it on multi-tasking).

Maybe the missing step is once you click the media library, you must click on "show" associated with an image (not on the little icon-pic) to get to the time when you can insert the picture?

And click on the add image icon. And then the popup will appear. There you click on the media library tab and there is where you find all your pictures uploaded. Or you can upload new pictures.

Yes, I have a wordpress.COM blog (not dot-org) and yes, I have tried to do this thru the Media Library - that's where I'm stuck. My only clickable options on that screen are Search Media, Filter, Save All Changes or Show; when I hit Show, I choose an alignment and a thumbnail size and then Save Changes. But then I'm back to the main Media Library screen and - again - no option to say "preview" or "publish" - it feels unfinished. I just have to close that window to go back to my page and the photo is not there. No surprise, but I don't know what else to do.

I know there is something basic I'm missing here - would appreciate any help figuring it out. Thanks again. (BTW, I did search the FAQ and forums before posting but didn't see anything about this.)

From my page, I choose Import Media - but on the "Add an Image" window that pops up, there is no button anywhere that says "add to page" or "publish this photo" - When I go to Gallery, there is no way to actually select that picture for import or publication on the page. (The only thing I can do is check the box next to the link "Show" or else Save All Changes.) So the picture doesn't appear on my page.

Any suggestions? This has got to be a very basic newbie question - I know it has to work - maybe it's a browser issue? (I'm on Mac OSX Leopard running Firefox.)

Thanks.
