Inserting pictures and links
August 2nd 2007 15:41
Just about every post should include at least one picture as they make the text so much more appealing. Which post would you be more likely to read? This one, or this one?

On the far right of the line of buttons above the content box you will find a group of three that allow you to insert objects into your post.
Links
The first allows you to create links. Simply highlight the text you want turned into a link and then click on the button with the globe on it. A text box will appear and here you should enter the URL of the link. Click on OK and there you go, one link.
Email addresses
The second button with the picture of the envelope and letter on it allows you to create links to email addresses. It works in exactly the same way as the link button. You should use this sparingly as any email addresses which are made public are usually inundated with spam very quickly.
Pictures
The third button with the little landscape on it allows you to insert a picture. Simply click on the button and follow the instructions. Note that if you want an image to look it's best you should choose "Natural Width" when specifiying the width you wish the image to be displayed at. You may have to resize your images using Photoshop or another image editing program to achieve the best results.
Always specify a title and caption for an image when you are uploading it. Providing a title is especially important as it tells the search engines what is in an image and is very important for generating image search traffic.
