Adding Photos to Your Blog

First, open a new post.

Remember:
  • From the Dashboard, click the blue box that says "New Post"
  • Or click the 'Posting" tab.
  • To get to the Dashboard, click "Dashboard" or "Design" in the top right hand corner.
                

Before you add a photo it is nice to hit the 'Enter' key on your keyboard once.  This will allow you to type above your photos once they are added.

Just above the text box you will see all the type icons (font, size etc)  Near the center you will see a button that looks like this:

This is the photo button, click it.

A new window will open up that looks like this:
Click on the "Browse" button.  You will then see the files on your computer.
  Select the file where your photo is stored, then select the photo you want and click "Open".  

Blogger will begin adding your photo.  You can click browse and repeat the process to add another photo.  When you have all the photos you need added it will look like this:
  Click "Add Selected" at the bottom and the photos will be added to your post.

Now you can type in your post about the photos.  If you want to type between the photos just click near the bottom right of the photo and hit 'Enter' this will add a space for you to type.

Just a note, if you plan to print your blog, the text and photos go into the layout separate so it is easier to just have all the photos and then type about them at the bottom of the post.  But if this drives you nuts (or me nuts, which it does) just fix it later when you go to print your blog.
Congratulations, you have just added photos to your blog!!
