All the images below were inserted using the Post URL option in the Media browser. 
This is great for an image that has more detail than is suitable for a caption. When you click on an image, it takes you to a new page where the image functions like its own separate post. The text entered in the description field becomes the image’s “blog entry.”

Thanks Kathy. The Colchicums are exquisite.
Your welcome, Frances. I thought they made a good subject to illustrate image handling in WordPress.
Thanks for this post. I’ve been using WordPress for a long time, and never realised what the Post URL link did! I assumed it just linked to the URL of the current post, so I only ever used either File URL or None, depending upon what I wanted to do.
I am glad you found it helpful. Spread the word!
Very helpful, thank you!
