Adding images to your post

To add an image to your post: go to the post entry and scroll down to 'upload'. Choose your file, with a title and a description.

When you upload an image, you see a thumbnail version of the image display. Click on the thumbnail once and you will see a variety of options in a small pop-up window.

The first option is "Using thumbnail". You can click on that once and change it to "Using Original". This means your original-sized image will appear in your blog when you click "Send to editor". If you choose "Using thumbnail", you may wish to link to a larger version of your image so people can actually see it better. You can do this on the second line of the options: "Not Linked" means your thumbnail will not be linked to a larger image. "Linked to Image" means your thumbnail will be be a link that readers can click on and see a larger version of the image. "Linked to page" works the same way except the image will appear on a blog page. I recommend this option.

Once you have the options the way you want them, select "Send to editor" and your photo will appear in your blog entry and you can continue to write the blog post as normal.
