Adding pics in the blog

Hi

Can anyone tell me how to add a picture into a blog? When I clicked on the 'Img' button, this came up [img][img], but I couldn't see how to add a picture!

Many thanks to you lovely helpful crafters

Trish :)

You firstly need to 'host' your image somewhere. Right now, it's stored on your own computers hard drive. Therefore only you can view and access it.

What you need to do is go to a website such as imageshack, and have them 'host' your image for you. You basically upload your image, and they give you a link which lets you view the images.

For example, if you upload an image of a car, they might give you the following link:

Code: Select all
http://www.imageshack.com/your-user-name/image-name.jpg


Then you take that link, copy it and paste it in between the two [img] tags, like so:

Code: Select all
[img]http://www.imageshack.com/your-user-name/image-name.jpg[/img]


Then, your image will appear as if by magic
