How to upload pictures on your blog

A few of you have asked how to upload pictures to your blog. Basically what you need is somewhere to store your pictures online, and then link to them. You could do this on your Delaware account (if you have this set up) etc.

One alternative is to sign up for an account on flickr, store your images there and then blog them from there to your blog. This is exactly what I am doing now with a picture of my dog (Basil).

If you want to add an image to the template that is a little more complicated (i.e. the flickr solution seems designed to only allow for images in an entry). Anyway, you can go to the flickr page where your image is displayed, 'view source' and find the url of the image (ending in .jpg) and then include the code needed to add an image in your html in the template. (which is <img src="graphic.jpg"> ).

Hey there,that was a useful tip for a starter like me. Blogspot linked a software called Hello and Picasa for the purpose of posting pictures on its blogs. But the problem is I don't seem to be able to post a picture within a blog entry. What happens is, it simply publishes the picture with my own caption onto the blog. That's it. Any advice? Thank you!
