Using the <strong>WordPress</strong> Media<br />

Library<br />

To visit your <strong>WordPress</strong> Media Library, expand<br />

the Media menu from the <strong>WordPress</strong> dashboard. The<br />

Media Library page will show all of the media items you<br />

currently have in your media library.<br />

To add a new media item to your library, click the Add<br />

New link. From here, upload a new image. Once your<br />

image has been uploaded, you’ll see it has been added to<br />

the library.<br />

Editing Images in the <strong>WordPress</strong><br />

Media Library<br />

One of the neat features of the <strong>WordPress</strong> media library<br />

is the ability to edit images. Click on an image, and then<br />

click the Edit Image button. Now, you can crop, rotate,<br />

flip or scale the image.<br />

For example, you can rescale this image and then click<br />

the Save button. Now, click the Update button.<br />
