Anyone that runs a WordPress blog knows that uploading a lot images can be time consuming. For me, its can be a hassle, some of my articles tend to have several images. Uploading images can take a few minutes to almost 30 minutes to load a handful images.
There a few ways to get around this issue. One way is to get Windows Live Writer. They have an excellent image uploading feature, but some blogs do not allow this feature. So that means you have to upload image through the WordPress Media uploader.
The other way is with a new drag and drop plug in that makes it so easy to upload images. That plugin is called Magan WP Drag and Drop Upload. This is a great tool for those uploading a ton of images to there blogs.
Magan WP Drag and Drop Upload
The drag and drop plugin makes it easy to add images your articles. You simply open up the folder where your images are stored. Pick your images and drag them over to drag and drop box. If there is an image on another site you want to use, then you can enter in the URL and it will upload them image as well. In order to use this feature, you must be using a modern web browser. The plugin was Created using HTML5 and jQuery. So your best options for using this plugin is to use the latest versions of Firefox and Google Chrome.
