Uploading pics to your Blog

So you've got a Blogger.com account and you'd like to add some photographs but you don't know how.

Well, here's how to do that.

Start by creating a new blog topic and type what you want to type and copy what you want to copy.

When you are ready to put in a picture, click on the icon that looks like this:



When you hover over the picture icon it will say "Add Image" ... that's a big clue.

It will now ask you to upload your image ... like this:



Click on browse and then go to where on your hard drive the picture is or add the URL to link to the web address where you keep the picture.

You are faced with a few layout options, as you can see. Click the one you want ... beware because what you click is what you get. Best to select None unless you want to picture top left with word wrapping and so on.

You are also faced with a size option: your choice, so choose as you wish.

Click to upload the picture and wait a while: the bigger the pic, the bigger the wait.

Then click Done when it's finished whirring and clicking.

It will place a long string of html code in your message and you won't see the pic just yet ... unfortunately that layout idea doesn't work on my computer and the chances are that it simply puts it in the top left of your message. If you don't want it there cut and paste all of that html code to where you want it! That's how my pics are part way down this message. Tacky I know but that's the way it works for me at the moment. Sorry.

Add another pic in exactly the same way.

Let me know if that doesn't work for you and I'll try to work out why.
