Anyone blogging with WordPress must have written a post where one has to upload a number of pictures(like me writing the Auto Expo 2014 ). Have you ever wondered how to upload all of your photos to WordPress a little faster? and found no way and had to do upload all images one-by-one? You don’t have to do that anymore as we are here to help. WordPress has a default gallery option, and now, learn how to insert a gallery in WordPress!

But ofcourse, you should spend time to give each image title/alt/caption.
