Proper credit and captioning on images

On adding images... I love how easy it is to add new images to posts. But mostly I take images that are from Commons. These images get tagged as "Image from Wikipedia" instead of Commons. It may be nitpicking but if the Image URL points to commons.wikimedia.org it may be better to credit Commons instead...

Also another suggestion... maybe make the "image" in "image from mumble" link to the image page itself, and the "mumble" link to the front page of the site

Also, maybe give some control of the caption? (while I'm in there editing the raw HTML to fix that I could change other things around) Let me say what it is! maybe put the caption in a box or make the caption text italic or smaller or ? so that it's not confused with the body text (the way that the thumb parm on WP gives you a box)

Thanks... love this tool

I’m delighted with this tool, but have some suggestions!

These ideas are all great! We're right now in a middle of figuring out what kind of direction to take for the next release and we'll definitely work on making images easier to manage.

I’m confident

Good deal!

To see the formatting as I suggest, see http://nonnotablenatterings.blogspot.... ... the Ouroboros image has a two line caption:

Ouroboros.
Image from Commons

and "image" goes to the image itself, while "Commons" goes to Commons' main page. I shifted it down in the body by hand, via copy/paste while in HTML mode

While I'm throwing out ideas, can you make it easier to add more than one image? In tomorrow's post I have two images but it was a bit of a struggle to get both in there.... I had to put one in, copy the HTML out, then put the other one in, and paste the HTML down lower in the body. Fortunately the floaty-ish tags you used in the spans mean the image stays nicely where you put it.

So how are you guys going to make any money? I see no ad revenue stream here :)

I’m Loving this plugin.
