The Blog Answerman

Okay, posting an image is a little odd here at Today.com, but nothing you can’t handle…even if you are blonde!

STEP 1
From the page where you write a post, go just below the field where you enter the post content.  You should see a text link that says “Upload/Insert an Image?“.  Click that link.

STEP 2
The page will change to reveal the upload box for a new image.  Browse to find the image you want to use, enter a title for the image (name it accurately so you can find it easier later) and enter a description if you like.  Then click the button labeled Upload >.

NOTE:  When the upload is successful you will be presented with several options:

• Next to Show you will see “Thumbnail“, “Full size” and “Title“.
  Thumbnail:  This option is useful if your original image is too large to fit within the confines of the allowable space on the blog.
  Full size:  This is the option you will use most often, as it makes the image appear just as it will on your computer.
  Title:  Selecting this option will create a text link based on the title of the image that you uploaded.
• Next to Link to you will see “File”, “Page” and “None”.
  File:  If you are using a thumbnail option (see above), you can select “File” to allow readers to click to see the full size version.
  Page:  This option will link to a page that shows the image separately from the post.  I rarely if ever use this.
  None:  This is the most commonly used option, at least for me.  It shows the image but does not link to anything.

STEP 3
To insert the image into your content, first scroll up and click your mouse where you want the image inserted, then click the button labeled Send to editor >.

A Final Helpful Hint:  To align your image so that the text flows around it, click on the image in the content field and select the alignment icon (left, right, center or justify) from the visual menu above the content field.
