the Thinker

Ok folks at first I was taking this easy...but now I am completely confused. This might sound funny to some of you but I am finding it difficult to post pictures along a certain post. The thing is that I do not want to post a solo pic, but I want it along with a certain post, at specific areas of the post. I downloaded 'Hello Bloggerbot' but it is not posting pics along with a particular post, rather it publishes the pictures as a separate post. I am at my wits end. Fellow bloggers proficient in posting pics along your posts, kindly HELP!!

Try using Flickr. I think it is better.

Hi A,
Sorry for not stopping by earlier.

Posting pictures using Hello is fairly simple. Hello allows you to post a picture to your blog. Now how can it become a part of a post and not a separate post? It would be difficult to do so. How will Hello know which post is to be targetted? Where in the target post should it place it?

So the following steps will help (if it is not too late):
1. Post the picture using Hello
2. Login to your blog and you will find the post which contains your picture.
3. Click on the edit button
4. Choose the "Edit HTML" tag
5. You will find something like:
$a href= "http://photos1.blogger.com/img/2122/2894/645/SomePicture.jpg"$ $img style="border: 1px solid rgb(0, 0, 0); margin: 2px;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/img/2122/2894/645/SomePicture.jpg" border="0" /$$/a$Caption

Please note: I have replaced all "<" or ">" characters with "$" so that the comment accepts them. All you need to do is the reverse...

Caption is what you typed in when sending the picture over Hello
6. Copy the address of the image. In the above example it would be:
http://photos1.blogger.com/img/2122/2894/645/SomePicture.jpg
7. If you want the image to be clickable then copy the entire thing and leave out the Caption
8. Save this post as a draft (in case you want it for later) or delete it (your image location is not lost)
9. Go to your new post where you want to use the image and introduce the following tag wherever you want to place the picture:
$img src="http://photos1.blogger.com/img/2122/2894/645/SomePicture.jpg" border=0 align=right width=200 height=200/$

Border can be anything but I prefer 0 unless the image should be at the head of the post. align can be right or left. Width and height can be decided by you (or return to the "Compose" mode and click on the image. It allows you to resize the image interactively, but save the post once before trying it as some browsers crash!)

10 In case you want to centrally locate your image at the start of the post (or anywhere) then you could do this:

$div align="center"$
$img style="WIDTH: 345px; HEIGHT: 334px" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/img/2122/2894/645/SomePicture.jpg" align="middle" border="2" /$
$/div$

The above also demonstrates another way of specifying dimensions...

In case the picture is available online on some other URL, simply copy the url and use it after the "src=" above...

I hope this is clear. Any HTML guide online would help you with the same...
