Inserting a picture


It's easy to insert a photo. Just click on the new post menu and in either the new post or edit post section, you can click on the photo icon, follow the step by step directions and bam, you have a photo on your blog.

The first photo in this section was taken with a digital camera. The original jpg size, 1275kb; dimensions 2592 pixels (36") x 1944 pixels (27"). In the add a photo section, for the first copy of the photo, I selected the medium image option and selected the center position. I browsed to the photo and clicked the upload image button. Blogger took care of the rest, resizing the image and reducing the file size-easy, easy,easy. I did the same with the second image except I selected a small image, to the right of text. Now just hit the "Publish Post" button and you're done.

A reminder! Adhere to all copyright laws. If you did not take the photo, you need permission to use it. If you're the photographer, you should ask permission of identifiable people (and document ) . General crowd shots are ok to use. If you are participating in a funded research project, the use of research subject photos is prohibited. I obviously can't cover all the copyright issues, but you can ask your librarian or google copyright to get an overview.

Common sense and the "golden rule" (look it up) are also good guidelines.
