Images in Blogs

[fishnislife]

What's the trick to add an image into a blog post?
The icon brings up an image editor and I just don't get it.
I wanted to throw up the Derby flyer in my last blog post.

One more question Aaron, is it possible to add a link into our own home page intro message?

Thanks man.

There are 2 ways to post images to your blog. Hit the Image button and add a link to an image somewhere on the internet, or upload it to your gallery and hit the Gallery Image button and find through there. We don't allow uploading photos directly to the blogs.

As for the link, you can try. I don't recall if I made that a protected area or not. If you put HTML in there and it works, great! If not, then I must have added that part to the HTML stripper and you won't be able to.

I know, I know, stop rolling your eyes. This will help someone else too.

I put the [img] link code into the Image Source box and I'm getting a red x.

And you can't add a link to your Blog Home Page.

You're not trying to use the forum image codes are you?

When you use the "edit" function on the Blog Tools, you can switch the Blog from editing in "Design" to editing in "HTML" (lower left corner). Try switching to editing in HTML and the put in the link code. This is how you can add those cool YouTube videos, BTW.

For images, definitely upload it to your gallery first, then use the add image from gallery tag (bottom row, 5th from the right). It brings up a box allowing you to edit the picture size and "Insert" into your Blog.
