how to add an image to your post

i have noticed 2 things while perusing my fellow classmates' blogs:

1. everyone is mostly commenting on the assignments (inside voice says * borrring*. outside voice says *why the hell aren't you doing that?*)
2. people are asking how to add an image to a post.

the last request i can handle. with only 1 week to go until my blackberry is activated and my new business cards are legit, i've been a documenting FOOL. so it's only fitting after 35 hrs this week writing procedures that i do it on the weekend, too...

how to add an image to your post

1. on the formatting toolbar, click the third button from right (*hint* it looks like a photo)


2. a new window will open. you can choose to use one of your own images or one that's currently in use on an existing web page.
   


3. if you choose to add an image from your own computer, click browse and navigate to the folder where the image is stored. select the file name and hit open. to add more images, click the link to add another image and repeat step 3. when finished, proceed to step 6.


4. if you choose to add an image from the web, you must first know the location (URL) of that image. to find the url, go to the web page where the image is stored and right-click (mac users are flying solo on this one) on the image. copy the contents named "location" and begin "http://...". this is the image's url.
   


5. go back to blogger's pop-up window, paste the info into the box named URL. to add more images, click the link to add another image and repeat steps 4 and 5. when finished, proceed to step 6.


6. choose the layout of where the picture's alignment and size. click the corresponding radio buttons for each.
   


7. click the upload image button.


8. viola! presto! c'est magnifique!
   

you've got art.
