Adding pictures to your blog

Published August 29, 2006 by Lori

Uploading an image from your computer

  • When you are in the screen where you are writing your post, look just below the posting window and you will see an ‘Upload’ window.
  • Click the ‘Browse…’ button to find your picture on your computer hard drive.
  • Enter a title and description if you want.
  • Click ‘Upload’.

Once the picture is uploaded, you will see it in the upload window. If you don’t, there will be a new tab called ‘Browse’. Click that to see the picture.

To insert the picture into your post, put your cursor in the place where you would like the image to go in your post and then click on the thumbnail image in the ‘Browse’ window and choose ‘Send to editor’. Once the image is in your editor, you can drag, drop, and resize it.

Using an image that is on the internet

If your picture is already on the internet, use the insert picture link in the editor. It is a button with a picture of a tree on it, directly to the left of the spell check button (the one with the ABC and a checkmark). Enter the image information in the box that pops up.

If you are not using the rich visual editor, click on the button that is called [img] and enter the image url in the popup box. Another box will pop up for a title.

If you are using a browser that does not support the editors, you must enter the html to display the image. Here is an example for an image called ‘test.jpg’.

<img src=”http://mydomain.com/test.jpg” alt=”test” />

Replace http://mydomain.com/test.jpg with the location of your image. Replace the alt text (test) with a description of the image.
