Thing 9: Embed an Image on your Blog

One of the funnest parts of blogging, is adding media to your posts. And adding images is really easy! Giving the reader some text, some images, some video all adds up to a post that's entertaining, informative and brilliant! Keep in mind this is different than adding a link to a page with an image. This week, you'll get to play around with image sizes and positions directly in your blog post.

As always, a video for your enjoyment and entertainment about adding photos to blogger. However, Blogger recently updated their software, so the windows you'll see when you give it a try might look a bit different. Though the process and links and language will still be the same:



Adding pictures to your blog is part of creating an engaging and interesting post. Imagine a magazine with no glossy photos! Sharing photos of events, book covers or just an image connected to your post can mean the difference between a patron getting that warm fuzzy connected feeling about your library or. clicking on the big X and heading to Barnes and Noble (Gak!)

Feeling adventurous and or have some extra time this week, try embedding a video on your blog! See how it's done and try it! Here's one that I just love. It's inspiring and I actually get chills!
