When uploading photos to my blog, I usually add a URL to photo captions. However, when these photos are published, the URL is rendered almost useless because it's not hyperlinked.

The blog I need help with is dailybymorin.com.
How can one add hyperlinks to uploaded photos? Note: I'm aware that I can upload individual photos and add a hyperlink directly below each image. However, this doesn't scale when uploading large photo albums.
You can't add hyperlinks to captions as the captions are no HTML activated.
edit: "no HTML activated." was meant to be "not HTML activated."
Bummer. Do you know if we can add hyperlinks to descriptions or any aspect of the photo album uploader?
None of those fields are HTML activated.
Ok, thanks for the help!
Sorry my answers weren't the ones you wanted to hear. Best wishes with your blog.
a) The Description field accepts all the HTML and inline CSS you can use in the HTML editor or in a text widget.
b) Captions can include links if you use the workaround explained here:

Wow! That's news to me. Thanks for posting it.
The links look a lot like an affiliate catalog link to me so there might be a Terms of Service issue.
@panaghiotisadam: Thanks for the tip!
@auxclass: I checked over the terms of service before using my affiliate links and did not see any prohibitions there.

The only exceptions noted in support documentation with regard to affiliate links are found here:
Affiliate marketing blogs: Blogs with the primary purpose of driving traffic to affiliate programs and get-rich-quick schemes (“Make six figures from home!!”, “20 easy steps to top profits!!”, etc). This includes multi-level marketing (MLM) blogs and pyramid schemes. To be clear, people writing their own original book, movie or game reviews and linking them to Amazon, or people linking to their own products on Etsy do NOT fall into this category. http://en.wordpress.com/types-of-blogs/
