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.

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:

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.
