Putting photos on the blog is easy, but there are some tricks that will give a better result. Here are a few things I've learned:
1. Save the photo on your computer in your photo storage location. For best photo quality, have the picture sized the size you want it to be on the blog (less than 600 px. wide). It will help those with slow internet connection if people optimize the photo file size to less than 75.5 kb, but some people may not have a program that does this. It's not essential, it just helps the page to load faster.
2. Open a new post. In blogger all photos load at the top, so if you're doing multiple photos, upload the lowest ones first.
3. Click on the little icon that looks like a photo. This will open a window where you find the photo on your computer and also choose the size and location of the photo.
4. Under "Add an image" choose browse and find the photo on your computer. Double click the picture to put the location in the bar.
5. Choose the location for the photo (left, center, or right) and the size (small, medium, or large.) To make the photo the same size as you saved it on your computer, choose large (this will give the best picture quality.) It is definitely easier to use the "Center" option and place your type above or below the photo.
6. Click "Upload photo" and then "done" when the picture shows up.
If you need to move pictures within your post:
(PC directions, but I think it's similar on Mac.)
Click on the photo in the post, then do control X to cut. Put the curser on the line you want to picture to show up (it will go to left, center, or right depending on the location you selected.) Do control V to paste the photo back in. It's very easy to move pictures around this way, much easier than trying to drag them where you want them.
HAPPY BLOGGING!
