Where I should put images for inserting into an ikiwiki via a simple [[link]]?
According to the setup file the directories are:
```
srcdir => "/var/lib/ikiwiki/$wikiname_short",
destdir => "/var/www/ikiwiki/$wikiname_short",
repository => "/var/lib/ikiwiki/$wikiname_short.git"
```
I tried putting a jpg into those folders but it didn’t show when I went [[image.jpg]].

You may want to enable the “attachment” plugin through the setup page. Then you can upload through the edit form. It will store the images in `/var/lib/ikiwiki/$wikiname_short`.

That’s **far** easier than using WinSCP to upload the images to the blog and now users can add images and other attachments to the wiki. Thank you!
