Thanks :)
I've got how to attach it, I was just wondering, on ma.tt , when the pics
are clicked, they go to a pretty url. Does this happen automatically with 2
or more images on the new WP, right?
Sorry for being such a pain, and thanks for explaining :)

Regards

First, what Gallery means in WordPress 2.5: specifically it is an
exposition of images attached to a post. An upload is "attached to a
post" when you upload it while editing a post.

In the uploader there is a "Gallery" tab that shows all of the uploads
attached to the post you are editing. When you have more than one
attachment in a post, you should see at the bottom of the Gallery tab
a button marked "Insert gallery into post". That button inserts a
shortcode "[gallery]" into the post. WordPress replaces that shortcode
with an exposition of all images attached to that post. Non-image file
types are excluded from the gallery.

If you don't see the "Insert galley into post" button, it may be
because you have not attached two images to the post.

Cheers,
Andy
