How Do I Add A Photo To My Blog?

Well if you want to add photos to your blog posts then you have 2 options, you can either upload a photo from your hard drive or you can provide the link to your photo if its already online.

What you have to do is when you sign on to Blogger.com and click the link to add a new post is to click on the little "picture" icon - I think its the 2nd one from the end - and that will take you to the link where you can either upload or put in the url of the photo that you want to add.

If you want to add a photo to the side of your blog then you will have to have that photo hosted on a site like Photobucket.com which provides you with the link to link to your photo.

Error Code bX-cvu52

There seems to be a problem with people being able to upload their images to their blogs. The blogger.com staff have addressed this but I decided to try it on my own.

It seems people are getting the error code bx-cvu52 when trying to add photos to their blog. So really I'm just testing it to see if the problem is still there. I was able to add a photo to this blog entry without incident so now I just have to see if it posts correctly without me getting an error code.

Do You Want Your Images To Look Good On Your Blog?

I recently found out this little "gem" of a secret when I was posting a image to one of my blogs!

I have always been uploading my images to my blogs using the .jpg format BUT Blogger.com also lets you to be able to choose a .png and .bmp format as well. However I would advise you not to upload your photos or images in the .bmp format only because that format will result in a bigger size.

I found out that if I upload my images using the .png format then they look a LOT clearer than they look when I upload them using the .jpg format.

And just in case you're wondering what 2d graphics program that I use to convert my images to the .png format - I use the Windows Paint program!
