test: Bob and Mary: On The Road

Want to post a few photos and commentary of our recent trip. I want to select from our blog (I suspect that some of the blog may not be of much interest to many so I want to provide a more focused account for this forum)

this is just a test to see the best way to move photos from Picasa (linked to our blog). I find Photobucket quite easy but since Blogger automaticly shifted the included pics I thought I'd give it a try. If this consumes too much space here then I will have to go to plan B. Any advice is welcomhttp://lh6.ggpht.com/BobandMaryTour/SIUrRgc2gDI/AAAAAAAAAs0/wE8KGWRdIiE/s144/June%2020%20Portland%20to%20Port%20Alberni%20download%20068.jpge. -Bob


Dang. Didn't work like Photobucket. Advice?

Bob,

I copied the image address and pasted it in the picture icon window.

You have sandwiched between "welcom" and "e."

However I don't know what it's so tiny. When I paste that address into a browser window, it shows a large picture like the one visible on your site.

right click on the image in Picasa and copy image location. paste the url into the add image tool.

Tom,

If you look at the link you will see /s144/ . This is a reference to the image size. In this example the link will reflect a 144 (Thumbnail) pixel count. If you edit your post and change the number to 288,400 or 800 the size will change accordingly. When you link from Picasa, a dropdown gives you these four options.

Here are a couple examples:



288px

400px

Thanks very much for the assistance! Didn't notice the "sandwich" issue and changing the px is great info. Thanks again. -Bob

Had some time so I tried another test ....... (dang.... couldn't get that px right. ) ...Maybe I'll just shift things over to photobucket and make it simple to insert pics. Don't know why Picasa is so cumbersome. -Bob

WHOA!.... just made it all work. Thanks for the expert guidance. Now to find enough time to put this trip report together. -Bob

Good deal!

I found Picasa to be like a pair of boots; clumsy, uncomfortable and blistering at first, but coupled with time a content tool.
