You can then continue editing the post, adding text above or below the photo:



That's it. If you know some basic HTML, you can also control the layout a little better and do other neat things like:

* Make images clickable links

* Specify the alignment of the photo -- left, right or center, using the following HTML:

Stuff you want to center

* Add alt text, which is text that describes the photo and shows up before the image loads -- this is important to visually-impaired visitors who use screen readers.

I will dive deeper into some of these things in a future entry.

FYI, one thing I find that makes blogging easier is the use of tabbed browsing (which is a lot like Tabbed IMs in the AOL software, only with browser windows). It makes it a lot easier to switch between different windows. Firefox and AOL Explorer both support tabbed browsing -- it makes things a lot faster for me.

This will insert the photo, and it will show up in the editing window. (This method also works for images that are hosted elsewhere, like if you're using third-party image hosting. Be careful, though, if you're hotlinking to someone else's photo -- you might want to save it to your own space first.)

Then, when you're creating your entry, click the little camera button that's in the formatting toolbar:

This will pop up a box where you can put the address of the photo you want to use. You then paste the image URL you copied from File Manager into this box (to paste, either right-click the mouse and select "Paste", or using the keyboard shortcut of Control-V):

(Or, if you prefer, you can simply click the file name to view the picture; you can then copy the URL from the address bar.)

Once you have it, click the "Add Picture" button.

This will stick the photo at the top of your entry, and depending on the size, will wrap the surrounding text around it.

Slightly Harder Way (that gives you more control): Refer back to Step 4 above: After you upload the photo to File Manager, right-click the file name and copy the photo's address (depending on your browser, it will be either "Copy Shortcut" or "Copy Link Location"):

Easy Way

In the entry creation window, click the blue hyperlink that says: "Add Pictures From Hometown":

Click the link, then choose the photo you want. If you use folders or subfolders to organize your pictures, you will have to dig down to the right subfolder until you find the photo you want (it will show you a preview of each photo):

How To: Add Photos (Step-by-Step)

Hi folks...we're getting more snow right now -- it should only be a dusting, though it will probably turn to ice and make driving tricky later on.

I thought I would take this opportunity to tell you again how I put photos in my blog.

Now, first off, there's nothing wrong with just clicking the big blue button that says "Add Pictures" when you're creating or editing an entry. This lets you upload pictures to a new AOL Pictures album (which you can also add captions to), and is quick and easy. Plus, it's great if you want to get that slideshow effect. (I used it myself just last week.) That's not what I did above, though.

Sometimes, especially for single pictures, you don't want the extra border, and you want to show the photos full-size. Here's what I do for that:
step 1:
First, of course, you have to take the picture and download it to your computer (if you're using a photo you already have on your computer, you can probably skip ahead a few steps.)

Step 2:
Then, you'll want to edit your photo. I've been playing around with the free Paint.NET application for Windows, which is very slick and fast for your basic image manipulations: cropping and resizing, adjusting color, contrast, brightness, etc. (I mentioned Paint.NET and some other tools and tips in my earlier entry on digital photos.)

Size-wise, for your typical three-column Journal (which is a left sidebar, a center column, and a right sidebar), a good photo width is about 450 pixels wide. Also, don't forget to try to keep the file size down -- ideally, you want to save it at the lowest JPEG image quality that still preserves the look of the photo (that is, it doesn't introduce the weird jaggies called Compression artifacts).

Oh, and one more thing -- photos are typically better saved as JPEG files; drawings usually do better as GIF files.

Step 3:
Then, you'll want to upload the photo to your FTP/Hometown space, using the Web-based File Manager -- I did a full tutorial on using File Manager here.

Step 4
After you've uploaded the photo, it should show up in your File Manager list:

Tips on HOW TO UPLOAD PICTURES

Many new users are confused about how to upload pictures to Blogger. There are three places in your blog where you may need pictures. One is in the template where you put pictures which can be seen from anywhere in the blog. You can put them in the header, in the background or in the blog columns. You can also make them into clickable links. The second place is in your profile. The third place to put pictures is in your post.................At the outset let me reiterate that you can only upload pictures to blogger and for all other files see Upload files to Blogger.To upload pictures to your post first login to Dashboard and click on +New Post. The Post Editor opens and click on the blue square icon in the top frame (see arrow in picture below :)

DESCARTES' LIFE and WORKS

Descartes' Life and Works
First published Mon Apr 9, 2001; substantive revision Tue Feb 27, 2007
Descartes has been heralded as the first modern philosopher. He is famous for having made an important connection between geometry and algebra, which allowed for the solving of geometrical problems by way of algebraic equations. He is also famous for having promoted a new conception of matter, which allowed for the accounting of physical phenomena by way of mechanical explanations. However, he is most famous for having written a relatively short work, Meditationes de Prima Philosophia (Meditations On First Philosophy), published in 1641, in which he provides a philosophical groundwork for the possibility of the sciences.

AUGUST COMTE

Auguste Comte(1798-1857)

Comte, a French philosopher, was the founder of Positivism. Positivism is a philosophical system of thought maintaining that the goal of knowledge is simply to describe the phenomena experienced, not to question whether it exists or not. Comte sought to apply the methods of observation and experimentation, as was beginning to be used in the hard sciences, to a field that we now know as sociology. He believed that the solution of persistent social problems might be had by the application of certain hierarchical rules; he believed in the progress of mankind toward a superior state of civilization by means of the science of sociology, itself. (Marx and Hitler had similar notions.) In his later years Comte became involved in mysticism, to the point where Positivism became, in spite of its earlier claims to its scientific approach, more of a religion, than anything else.
Comte's cardinal position was this: "The greatest problem, then, is to raise social feeling by artificial effort to the position which in the natural condition is held by selfish feeling." To which Sir James Fitzjames Stephen responded, "To me this is like saying, the great object of mechanics is to alter the laws of gravitation." [See Liberty, Equality, Fraternity (1873) (University of Chicago Press, 1991) at p. 126.]
What underlies any government plan to "improve" the social condition is the philosophy of positivism. It aims to crush individuals in the pursuit of the impossible task of changing human nature. As John Stuart Mill was to write:

Aristotle biography

World of Mathematics on Aristotle
As a formidable student, researcher, teacher, and philosopher in virtually all scientific disciplines, Aristotle had a profound impact on the way science and mathematics is practiced and investigated today. His analytical method, now known as Aristotelian logic, is the backbone of not only mathematics, but of all the natural sciences.
Aristotle was born in 384 B.C. in Stagirus, Greece. His father Nicomachus, a doctor, was appointed as the King of Macedonia's personal physician while Aristotle was a child. Nicomachus passed away around 374 B.C., leaving Aristotle to be raised and educated by a guardian, Proxenus of Atarneus.

At age 17, Aristotle moved to Athens where he enrolled in Plato's Academy. Here he excelled in the study of rhetoric and dialectic, which he also taught when he became an instructor there at the end of his studies. Aristotle would spend twenty years at the Academy before leaving for the city of Assos. The exact reason for Aristotle's departure is unknown, but it was speculated that political tensions between Athens and neighboring Macedonia may have sparked the move. Plato had also just died, and Aristotle was known to have conflicting views with his successor at the Academy, Speusippus (Plato's nephew).
While in Assos, Aristotle continued his philosophical and scientific pursuits in the company of other philosophers, studying anatomy, zoology, and the biological sciences. Aristotle also met and married his wife, Pythias, the niece of Assos' ruler, Hermias. Hermias gave him a daughter, but passed away several years later at an early age. Aristotle stayed in Assos until Persia attacked the city, when he then left for the neighboring island of Lesbos. After a year-long stay on Lesbos, he moved to Macedonia in 343 B.C., where he was well-received by King Philip, the son of King Amyntas who had employed Aristotle's father as royal physician many years before. Three years later, after Aristotle was passed over to succeed Speusippus as director of the Academy, he returned to his birthplace, Stagirus, to continue his studies. While in Stagirus, Aristotle had a relationship with Herpyllis, who gave him his second child, a son named Nicomachus.

ANNELIDS

Annelids: Worms and Leeches
Annelids have bodies that are divided into segments. Annelids have very well-developed internal organs.
Some may have long bristles. Others have shorter bristles and seem smooth, like the earthworm shown here.
There are about 9,000 species of Annelids known today, including worms and leeches.

PROTOZOA

Protozoa
Protozoa are simple, single-celled animals. Most protozoa are microscopic in size.
There are several types of protozoa. The amoebas are clear, shapeless cells. Flagellates have a body shape looking like a hair.

AZUL WATERFALL

Azul, Waterfall
MEXICO
The Cataratas de Agua Azul ("Waterfalls of Blue Water") consists of many cataracts following one after another. The water flow descends in two streams, with small islands in the middle. The water has a high mineral content. Where it falls on rocks or fallen trees it encases them in a thick shell-like coating of limestone.
