Adding Images to your Posts
The process for adding images is not exactly intuitive and is easily forgettable, so here is a step-by-step guide.
Images need to have a URL (an internet address), so the first stage in the process is to host your image on the internet.
This following is the process on a Windows 7 PC, so you may need to adapt this for other devices.
Stage 1: Hosting an image that is on your device.
Click the "Host an image" icon:
The following screen will appear. Click the "Browse" button:
Select the image on your device and clock "Open":
Click "Host it":
You will now see your image's URL:
Click in the "Image url" field to select the URL and click "Copy" (or on a PC, you can simultaneously use the "Ctrl" and "C" keys to copy):
If you want to host additional images, click "Upload" and repeat the above process.
Stage 2: Inserting the image in to your post
Click the "Insert an image" icon:.
You will see the following screen:
Paste the image URL (or on a PC, you can simultaneously use the "Ctrl" and "V" keys to paste):
Enter settings for the Width and Height if you want to adjust the size of the image.
The measurement is in pixels (I believe), so it is a bit of a trial-and-error process.
To give you an example, the Icon images above have a width of 50.
Click "Insert".
And you will see your image.
If you do not like the size, repeat the final step above.
The image below has a width of 100.
Let me know if there are any problems or questions.
If you would like to receive a copy of this procedure as a PDF file, just send me a PM and I will e-mail it to you.
