How to Add Photos to your Blog Entries

Anne and Chuck's New Home The process of uploading photos is simple. If you are signed in, you should be able to click on "content" in the left side bar. That will give you the choice of adding an "image." Follow the directions on the page to upload. At the top of the page under "options," you always have the choice of whether to promote the entry, photo, etc. the front page. The default setting always does this. If you do not choose this option, then your uploaded image will only appear in an image gallery (if you chose to put it there). This "option" works the same way for blog entries and other content. Click on title (above) or "read more" (below) for additional details. You will have the choice to put the image in an image gallery in the main program if you want (not this is different than gallery program I have been using for most of the family pictures which can still be accessed via the the link in the header under "Davidson Woods Family Web Site). Once that is done, you need to put a piece of code into the text of your blog entry. The code I used for the landscape style photo that appears above is as follows: "<img src="http://davidsn.com/drupal/files/images/DSCN0739_0.JPG" style="float: left;" hspace="15" width="250" height="175" alt="Our New Home" title="Our New Home" >" You need to cut and past that code into your blog text (without the quotes), change the name of the image file to match what you uploaded, adjust the width and height to the right dimensions to make the photo look right (for portrait style, try width="175" height="250"), and rename the "alt" and "title" for the photo. Click on "Full HTML" under input format.
