Blogging Pictures


You are right TF, in that moving the picture is the problem as I found out the other day. When you upload a picture to the blog it uploads the the full size. The “Small, Medium, Large” option on the “Upload Images” window, just determines the size that appears within your article. Moving the picture loses the link to the full-size picture. If you wish to place your picture in the middle or at the bottom of the text without destroying the link I now know of two methods.


1) Before entering any text, upload the image(s). If there is more than one image, create space for text between the images by placing the cursor at the end of an image and pressing the “Enter” button and space will appear between the two images. To create space before the first image, place the cursor at the bottom left-hand end of the image and then press the “Enter” button. A new line will then appear above the image for each depression of the “Enter” key.

2) When you are creating a new post there is a tab named “Edit Html”. You can enter text first and then upload the image. As we know it will appear at the top of your article. Select “Enter Html”. You will notice text at the top starting . Then paste it to where you want the photo to appear in the article. This text is the instruction for displaying your photo in your article and it is part of this instruction that is lost when you move the picture by the “grab” method.



This has been placed using the Edit method. I hope it works otherwise it's egg all over my face. Another thing I've noticed is that if you save a draft and then edit it you seem to get double-spacing in your article. We'll see if that's true of this article.

Enlarging the photos always seems to create an image that's larger than the screen. If you want it to fit on the screen I can let you know a method. Although the image does not use the whole screen it's of reasonable size.
