How to Add an Image Gallery into a WordPress Blog?
Insert a single image in a post is now common practice, but if we want to insert different images maybe side by side to each other as if they were in a table?
Here is how we create our photo gallery in a post with WordPress:
* The first thing to do is obviously to prepare images to be clicked;
* Create a new post or page, giving it a title and save as a draft;
* Then click on the icon Add image;
* Click on the select files to upload button, and go to select all images that we are part of the Gallery;
* Expect all the images to load, and then click on the Save all changes;
* The Panel displays, will allow you to: Customize the name and description for every single photo;
* In Gallery settings allow you to assign a link to the thumbnail image file or page annex;
* Sort pictures by: title, date and time or random;
* Sort: Ascending/Descending;
* Decide how many columns the gallery must have;
* Terminate the settings insert newly created image gallery in the post by clicking “insert Gallery;
* Click on the link above the article title preview to display the newly created Gallery.
If we are not satisfied we can operate on the Gallery’s settings by clicking on the blue box and selecting the icon in the upper left corner, with a small picture. The icon with the Red prohibition eliminates the Gallery from the post.

Add the +1 Button to Your WordPress Blog
As you all propably know Google officially rolled out their +1 Button for websites with an announcement on their blog last month. Much like the Facebook Like button, this allows visitors to your site to +1 your content, which can then affect Google’s search engine rankings.
Google already has the +1 button active in their search results, giving users the ability to vote up results that they like from the search engine results page, but of course most users won’t know if they like a result until after they’ve gone there — at which point they’ve left the +1 button behind. So the +1 button for websites make a lot of sense, and should also help increase awareness for users.
