Wordpress. How to start for very beginners.
So yesterday I registered on Wordpress. But I feel myself absolutely dumb there. :( Have spend several hours to post 2 pages. But I still don't understand how to write a book. The pages I posted loo...

@chealsycat : There is no limit to how many pictures you can place on a web page. The only reason Wordpress would not allow you to "place more pictures" is if you are using Wordpress to host your images (you upload all your pictures to Wordpress) and you have run out of the allotted space for a free account (which I believe is 2 GB). If you do not optimize your images for the web by resizing them to a smaller resolution than they are by default when you take them from the game, or change their format from .png to .jpg, that space will get used up in no time. I see so many authors not even think about this until suddenly their space is gone. So many accounts get a ton of space back simply by optimizing their images and reuploading them (I think lisabee went from 25% used to 12% after optimizing photos on her account). You can check Julyvee's Quick Guide to Simlit for some links about this.
The other alternative is using an external image host (not Wordpress) for images (I use an external host, so none of my pictures are uploaded to Wordpress and using up its space), and then simply linking to the images using HTML. Julyvee's Quick Guide to Simlit shows how she does this, with pictures showing step-by-step, how she does this with Imgur as her host. Check the tips for Wordpress users section.
Also remember, you are in control of the length of your chapters. If you feel one is getting pretty chunky, there is nothing that is stopping you from splitting it into a Pt. 1, Pt 2, etc. Having less images per post (even with optimized images) can make loading times easier, especially for people who are trying to read on slow connections/mobile devices.
