Choose the Placement for Your Media<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Navigate to the Post Editor<\/strong>: Open the post (or create a new one) where you want to add the media.<br \/>\n<strong>Position Your Cursor<\/strong>: Decide where in the post you want the media to appear. Click in the text editor at that spot to position your cursor.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>2. Insert the Media<\/h2>\n<p>Click the &#8216;Add Media&#8217; Button: Above the toolbar of the post editor, you&#8217;ll see an &#8220;Add Media&#8221; button.
