Some tips to post a "larger" photo in a blog:
There are several options, but these are the ones I use:
Uploading to Flickr or Photobucket, then copying and pasting the HTML code from there. You can choose
the size you want, but 800 x 800 or Large usually gets you a good size. You can also change the size in the HTML code to whatever you want, as long as you keep the proportions of course. You just adjust the size figures..
Also what I've started doing lately is to post from my Multiply Album, but instead of using the
share code I click up to the "Slide-show" choose a suitable size there (usually 600x600) and then just copy and paste the photo itself to the blog. Some programs will let you "drag" and "drop", my Mac won't, and also dragging and dropping means you have to have two windows open..
Often the "share code" doesn't give me a big enough photo for my taste (so then I use the "slide show option"), but usually it's sufficient, so you don't need to click it up to see..
Remember when you use a HTML code to tick in the "Edit HTML" box up to the right in your compose blog page,
or your photo won't come up in the blog...
Most photo sites and groups have guide lines
for posting similar to the following example:
Max size: 800 pixels wide and/or no more than 700 pixels tall.
Min size: 640 pixels wide and/or no more that 700 pixels tall.
Panos only: No more than 950 pixels wide.
Another way of doing it is this:
One simple method for posting a high-res image from your computer to your Multiply blog page begins with posting an image through the blog edit window. I usually set the access to individual people and untic "send to the Multiply Inbox" until I finish this process. Just follow these steps:
1. Open a blog edit window by selecting "Post" and then selecting "Blog."
2. Click on "Insert Images."
3. Select the option to add an image from "Your Computer."
4. Locate the image on your computer, select the file and click "open."
5. A screen will appear that allows you to align your picture. Choose left, center or right.
6. Now the image will appear in your blog edit window. "Save and publish" to exit the window. After you publish the blog you should see a small image similar to the image below.
Click on the picture to access the high-res image.
1. Right-click on the high-res image and select "copy" from the drop-down menu.
2. Use the "back" function in the upper left corner of the page to go back to the previous page.
3. Select "edit" to reopen your blog edit window and paste the high-res image into the window (right-click and select "paste" from the drop-down menu.)
Click on the image (8 small boxes should appear around the image,) then use the "justification" feature in the blog edit window to align the new image.
Add any text you want to your blog entry.
You are ready to publish but first select the "access" and tic "send to the Multiply Inbox." Use "Preview and Spell Check" to view your finished product, then publish. After publishing go to your blog entry to see if you are satisfied with the results. If not make adjustments.
Hope this helps...
Come back to me or the other admins if any more
questions.
