How To Add Photos To Your Blog, Easy!

You can add all kinds of great photos to your blog.  This is what makes building your blog fun.  You can add all kinds of creativity to your blog.  Photos and pictures add so much character to your blog.  Most people respond to information by looking at pictures more easily than they do by reading words.  Help them out.  Give them pictures.  And it is easy to do.

Some Rocks Will Not Let You Down

The first thing you need to do is make a standard file folder for all of the
photos you will be using in your blog.  It is easy to make a file folder for pictures you will use or will be considering to use in your blog.  Go to your computer and find the file where you save pictures.  Open it.  In the body of that location, right click your mouse to bring up a quick menu of choices.  In the menu box, pull your pointer on your mouse down to the menu choice labeled, NEW.  Hold your pointer on it long enough to get the 'sub-menu' to come up.  When the sub-menu comes up, carefully slide your mouse over and up to select the "folder" choice at the top of the sub-menu page.  (It looks like a file folder.)  Left 'Click' the folder choice.  You now have a new folder in your pictures file to store all of your new blog pictures.  Rename it whatever you wish.  Now when you have personal pictures and online pictures you like and plan to use in your blog, store them or move them to this folder.  It is easy.

Try some examples...if you want to show crazy rock formations, do this...Go to the web and Google 'crazy rock photos' and select a website that offers you a bunch of crazy rock formations.  You will see many choices.  Pick one.  Save that selected photo in your new file folder.  Then come back to this edit section to select the photo tool.  Follow the selections on how to insert an image.  Select your pictures file, then your folder file where you are saving pictures for this blog.  Select the photo you just saved from the web.  Bingo...crazy rock pictures.  You can place the curser in the body of your text to select where you want the picture to appear.  It will move text around based upon the choices you select on the picture menu.  Try it out.  You cannot make any mistakes that you cannot fix.

 Let's try another picture.  Maybe this time we will look for something like jets in the sky.  We need to Google 'jets in the sky' photos.  Let's see what we get.  This is the one I picked for this blog.  I saved it into my pictures blog file folder.  Then I selected with my curser where I wanted this blog to insert the picture, clicked that spot, then selected the picture tool to go get my new 'jet' picture.  Amazing...there it is.

Play around with it to get a feel for how you can arrange the text and photos of your post.  You can do a few things with the moving around.  It will not hurt and you will not destroy your computer!  Experiment a little bit.  Let the mistakes you make teach you how to do more really cool things.  Have fun with it.  It is really a very cool tool.

This Is A Real Experiment

Let's end with another wild photo!  Let us try 'underwater fun' this time.  See you next time.
