How to add an image



My friend Mike was wondering how to add an image.

Click on the image button, browse if adding an image from your hard drive, then select... you have to select whether you want the edge of the image aligned on the left (usually the default), centered, or on the right.

Click upload image.

If choosing an image from somewhere online, you have to paste the URL of the image (hint: often when you right-click on an image, you can copy the image link).

You can also paste code that's provided for you into the Edit HTML tab, rather than into the Compose tab. Sites that provide code ready-to-use are ones like ICanHasCheezburger.Com.

Flickr is another site that has code all handy for you to use: find a picture you like, go to the "All Sizes" page (there's a button) and select the size you want to use. Note: too large a picture will throw off the formatting on a blog with a narrow content column!

Here's one I took on our trip to Washington - we went to the big flight museum near Dulles Airport to see the REALLY big stuff:

Air and Space

There's more you can do with something called "Cascading Style Sheets" to add borders automatically, but this is the basics...

Halp Teh Kittehs: Dis Mai Laptop Naow



I blogged this via my iPhone last week: my friend Steve had accidentally trapped a stray cat in a varmint trap and was wondering what to do, since he's horribly allergic to cats. I was just trying to halp, but Riley had other ideas about who should be doing whut.

My mother in law love, love, loves wild and wacky socks. I wonder if she'd like these crazy sock/slipper combos? They were at a store in Mt Vernon, a Sears I think.

Closeup of a set of Eucharist vessels from St Nicholas that have been there since it the church was founded - they must have been donated, as they're dated from several years before the year ground was broken.

St Nick's is a small Episcopal parish in Elk Grove Village, IL. It was designed by a well known Chicago architect called Edward (Ned) Dart, who also designed the former Holy Innocents Episcopal Church. Both small missions merged on New Year's Day, 2007. We need program space, and we don't have a lot of storage space, and some duplicate items... so it's hoped these will find a home in a church somewhere.
