How to add images to your posts

(You must have a basic understanding of how to create a post on Blogger to use this tutorial.)

Adding images to a post is an important skill in publishing on blogs. Images help us create vibrant content with greater visual impact than text alone. Wouldn't you prefer a picture of a car with an article rather than just a description?

The following is a quick tutorial of how you can add images to your posts.

While composing a post you will see a toolbar:


Looking towards the right of the toolbar you'll see and then click the "Add Image" button:


A window like this should pop up:

You then have two main options for locating an image file:

Adding an image from your computer: Click the "Browse" button and locate the file on your computer or network.

Adding an image from the internet: To use this feature you must know the URL (address that computers use to find files on the internet) of the image that you want to use. I chose this one:

http://farm1.static.flickr.com/41/105922006_22737aaef4.jpg

after adding the URL into the box I get this:


Below the image selection box you're given options on how the images will be displayed which is called the layout. Putting the images on the left or right will allow text to flow around pictures.
Centering the image will put a picture in its own space and allows the creator the most control of how a post will be displayed on a variety of screens and in different font sizes.

Try experimenting with it, now is the perfect time to learn about the important tool of adding images to your blog posts and making your content eye-catching.
