When no image has been uploaded, the Upload Image button can be found below the field. By clicking it, a panel appears with which to select one of the three upload types:

• from your computer by clicking Upload from computer. The file selection panel will appear and, once uploaded, the file will appear in the post's file list. Clicking Insert selected will insert the selected file into the post,
• using a web link, by clicking Upload with link. The field in which to insert the link will appear. Once inserted, clicking the Use this link button inserts the image into the post,
• using an image previously uploaded and saved in the post folder, by clicking Choose from images. The panel with the whole list of files in the post will appear. By clicking Insert selected the selected file is inserted into the post.

If you are editing the post, the advanced options section is also available where you can find

• the panel for editing the slug. By clicking the edit slug button, changes to the slug are applied.
• the panel for deleting the content. By clicking the Delete content button the post in question is deleted from the blog and can no longer be reached from the outside.

:: warning Always delete very carefully

As with editing slug, if a post has been indexed on search engines or shared as a link on social, deleting it will render the link empty and inoperable and could damage your search engine or social ranking strategy.
