Newbie qustion about adding pics to blogs

Hi MFP Friendsters,

can someone tell me how to add pics to the blog? I want to upload before/after pics so I can really see the transformation during the next 60 days :0) I've decided to hold myself publicly accountable by writing about my "Insane in the brain - Insanity Challenge" on a daily basis. Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

    1. Save your image(s) online. Make sure that they are not really large or they will be automatically cropped and might be hard to view properly. You can resize them using a free image program like Irfanview (www.irfanview.com). Make a note of their locations so you can easily copy-and-paste them into the HTML.

    1. Click on the 'Edit post' link.

    2. Click the HTML button in the editor menu (top menu).

    3. Find where you want to insert your image. The HTML is crammed together and hard to read but you can copy-and-paste it into a text editor like Notepad - not a word processor! - to make it easier to read and edit. Then copy-and-paste your changes back into the document and save that if it is easier for you. (I just enter the links directly into the HTML.)

    4. Enter the URL (location of your image) in the following HTML format:

    <img src="http://www.myimagelocation.com/image.jpg"&gt;

    5. Click "Save Post".

    THANK YOU! My blogs are soo much better now!
