How to add photos to your posts

I spent the weekend adding photos to the blog. This is a process that I finally figured out. The IT Director at my work, explained to me that the best is to scan the photos in TIF format, which allows for all the details of the picture to be picked up.

From there the picture can be copied to the desktop and with a Photo Editing program, picked up and cropped, cleaned, straightened out and the levels of dark/grays/highlights rearranged. When all this is done, the picture is Saved as and the JPG format should be selected as it compresses the image and it will be faster to download and view it in the blog.

Finally, you open the blog, and create a post and select the picture icon after the ABC (see tool bar when you create a post). This opens a window which gives you the option to browse your documents, you open all the documents you have on the desktop and select the picture in JPG you worked on. You press done, et voila! The photo is on your post and you only need to add words.

If this is all too complicated and you want to post photos, just send me an email with the photo scanned in TIF format as attachment, at simonefidel@hotmail.com. I'll enter your photos for you.

If you don't have a scanner, there are places for digital pictures that take paper pictures and copy them onto CDs to be read digitally.

Now look in your photo albums & boxes, there are all those photos that we would love to see!
