HELP!

OK, I've been putting this off for some time - actually since I started blogging - but the time has come to come ask all of you for a little help. I realize my blog may be a bit hard on the eye, in that every picture is the same size, and each picture is a separate blog entry, and that for my last quilt you have to read the posts backwards in order to get the sequence correct. I CANNOT FOR THE LIFE OF ME FIGURE OUT HOW TO ADD MULTIPLE PICTURES TO A POST!!! I usually use Hello and Explorer to post my pics, but it leaves no way for me to add more than one pic per post. I have tried uploading pictures into this post directly from my computer, but nothing ever shows up and it takes forever! What am I doing wrong? Should I be using flickr or some other method? Isn't it incorrect to add pics directly from my computer because a host site would make loading much faster? Any help would be super appreciated!

I use Firefox as a browser, ( which is a free download if you don't have it), and at the top of the window where you type in your blog there is a little photo icon. When you click the icon it tells you to choose a photo from your files. After you do that, there are the words "add another photo" in very small print at the top of the window. Does that make sense? This is so ironic, because I am as untechsavvy as anyone could be. There are probably other ways, but this is how my software works.

Oh Miriam! I use Hello too and once you know the trick, it's easy. Load one picture and give it a title like "quilt" then put two vertical lines after that. It should look like this ||. On my key board it's the key right above the "enter." Then click "post." It will tell you something like "This picture will be added to your queue." Keep using the two lines until you get to your last picture, then just click post.

kay, thanks for your advice but i didn't know where to start as i've never heard of firefox. deb, your instruction worked like a charm! THANK YOU!

it still seems as though there's an easier way, as i wasn't able to edit around the pics and wrap the text around it. more advice on this post would be great to anyone who knows more than i do!

I just discovered Picasa, you have to Hold them in the box and even then you only get 4 at a time but you can still type and edit before posting :) hope that helps! xoxo melzie
