Hi,
I'm really sorry for this really newbie question. Drupal might be a bit too much for me to configure as I have absolutely no idea about programming but I wanted to try anyway as the general sales pitch is that even without real insight into code you could setup and use Drupal.
So, I have a site running and that's nice but how do I get those nice wysiwyg features working so that I could insert pictures inside my blog posts without inserting code?
I have copied files so that I have:
Enabled Name Version Description Operations
Insert 7.x-1.0 Assists in inserting files, images, or other media into the body field or other text areas.
Enabled Name Version Description Operations
Wysiwyg 7.x-2.0 Allows users to edit contents with client-side editors.
I now get the "insert/edit image" button in the full html option to show within creating or editing content in a block. But clicking that will get me a pop-up with some rows where I need to e.g define Image URL. Whatever URL address format I put there, I don't get anything working (not in the preview or in the actual site after saving). Text works fine of course but I'm not able to get any images to show.
In modules settings by default everything is listed under "core" but "insert" is listed under "other" with no configure button showing and wysiwyg is showing under "user interface" and it does show the configure button (which I can click and edit some preferences).
Have I installed these somehow to wrong directories or are the versions wrong in relation to each other or..
Please give some suggestions if you have any. Also would be nice to know what is the correct format for inserting the URL address (altough I thought this "insert" add-on would have given me somekind of browse feature).

Hi, I know the question might be stupid but any ideas or advice are welcome!
I know it can be confusing
Lots of times you need to install another module to make a module work... such is the case here. I use the Image Assist module. Then, below the content box where you are putting your text, then perhaps you want to insert an image there, you will see a little camera on the leftside below it.
It will give you the ability to upload an image where you want it. It does take some playing around with it (like needing to use Full HTML in order to see the image). Then you don't use the Insert Picture within your WYSIWG editor. Image Assist will put it where you tell it to go (left, right, center).
OOPS - I just realized, there is no v7 with Image Assist! Hmmmm.... looks like I also need to find another module since I am using D7 for new clients.
Good luck!

It might be hard for you to setup a site using Drupal if you know nothing about programming.
Drupal will automatically filter some html tag out of content, by default
could not be shown. So, to resolve this issue, you could go to Configuration -> Text formats -> Filtered HTML -> Limit allowed HTML tags, and add 
there.
Or ... don't change the "Filtered HTML"...
and instead change your default "blog entry" input type to Full HTML, or another custom input format that you create. It's probably best to avoid adding too many potentially hazardous allowable tags to Filtered HTML, especially if anonymous users will be able to use it for anything (leaving comments or other places they can enter text). Anyone who has permission to use the input type will have permission to use any new tags you add to it.
Personally, I created a "Blog HTML" input type for my blogs, and that's the only input format that is expected, so I don't need to manually change from "Filtered HTML" (which blocks several tags I want, including images).
As for other useful image modules, you might try IMCE and the IMCE-WYSIWYG Bridge modules:
http://drupal.org/project/imce
http://drupal.org/project/imce_wysiwyg
Those are both very popular.
See you at the Drupalcon!
