Tutorials
There are two ways to insert an image in to WordPress now. One is to upload an image from your hard drive. The other is to link to an image living on a server somewhere else (ie: flickr, a photo gallery, snapfish, a server, etc.) Here steps for each method.
Adding an image from your hard drive in to a page or post:
Step 1. Start a new post (or page) as usual Write > Post/Page.
Step 2. Go to the “Add Media” area and select the image button.
Step 3. Click on “Browse” to add an image from your computer.
3 commentsAdding ShareThis plugin to Advanced Typepad Templates

After looking for some answers and being very unsatisfied with the amount of information out there, I decided to share this.
What you need
1. You’ll need advanced template access in Typepad.
2. A Share This script for your registered blog.
3. Some HTML knowledge.
Basics
The Typepad foundation uses Moveable Type tags. You’ll see a tag called < MT Entries > that surrounds your posts. These tags are what list the posts on the page. There is an tag to close the post area. You’ll need to use these tags to place the ShareThis script in each post.
If you look in your Main Index Advanced Template, you will see a tag < $MTWeblogIncludeModule module=”entry-list-sticky”$ >. This is where your < MT Entries > ……. < /MT Entries > tag actually lives on the front page. In other pages (Individual, Date Archive, etc) we’ll be modifying a similar, but slightly different, entry list module. So it’s not going to be as obvious about where to place the script. We’ll need to do a teeny tiny hack to get it to display at each post.
