Adding photos to your blog

Here are two ways to add photos to your blog.

1.  Go to your blog on a computer.  Write a new post.  While you are in the compose mode, click on the 'insert image' icon in the tool bar.  From here you can choose your photos from your desk top, iphoto, or wherever you save your photos.

Once your photo is inserted into your post you can change the size and location by clicking once on the photo.  

  

This brings up a tool bar that allows you to make the choices for your photo.  Play around and see what looks best.  You can preview your post by choosing the 'preview' button in the top right of the screen.

2.  Use your phone, ipad or ipod.  You will need to have the blogger app which is available free.  You can use photos on your mobile device to post to your blog.  When you first open up the blog app you will be prompted to enter your email address that is linked to your blog.  Your blog is now connected to your blog app and you won't need to set it up again.  If you have more than once blog on your account, there will be a drop down box available when you open the app for you to choose which blog to post to.  

Follow the simple steps on your app - they are all laid out a bit differently but are pretty straightforward to use.

Once you've written your post you can save and publish it or just save it to view, edit and publish later from a computer.

PD blog Emailing

Testing emailing a blog post. Learning at ELN meeting with Mark Osbourne.

How to:
Go to settings on your blogger dashboards.
Click on 'mobile and email'.
Add secret word into box where blogger has given you an email address to email posts to.
Save - you now have an email address that you can email a blog post to.  Save this address into your contacts on your gmail and/or phone.

You can choose whether to publish posts instantly or to save post to drafts so you can check before posting.

You can email movies to your blog using this whereas you can't use your ipad or iphone blogger app to upload a movie to your blog. (I haven't tried this, but others at the session said this is so)
