Add images to a post
A post about your new work with no pictures of the work is a missed trick — readers scroll for the images first. On a bernard-hosted site, adding them is paste-and-ask.
How it works
- Get your access prompt. Log in to bernard, open your site, and copy the prompt from Edit with AI (it contains a key that works for 12 hours).
- Paste it into your AI — ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, whichever you already use — then paste the images, say which post they belong to, or use the prompt below.
- Approve. The AI sends back a preview link. Check the images sit where you want, press Approve, and they're live.
Tell the AI a little about each image — "this one's the glaze close-up, put it next to the paragraph about firing" — and it will also write a short description of each for search engines and screen readers, which quietly helps your post get found.
The prompt
“Add the images I'm pasting to my blog post [the post title] — put [which image] near [the part of the post it belongs to], and give each a short description for people who can't see it.”
The [bracketed] parts are yours to fill in. First time? Log in to bernard → your site → Edit with AI → copy your access prompt, paste that into your AI first, then ask the above.
Questions people ask
- How do I add images to a blog post on my website?
- If your site is hosted with bernard, paste the images into the chat with the AI you already use — ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini — and say which post and roughly where they go. The AI places them and shows you a preview; nothing changes until you approve.
- Can the AI use a photo from one of my Instagram posts?
- Yes — give it the link to a public post and bernard fetches the photo from it. If the post is private, paste the photo into the chat instead.
- Will the images slow my site down or look wrong on phones?
- Images up to 10 MB each are fine, and the AI places them using your site's existing styles so they sit properly on every screen. You see the result on the preview before pressing Approve.
