Uploading Files and Images

To add a link to a document or add a photo to your post, do the following:

Uploading a (non-image) File

You may upload various file types to the blog server, e.g. Microsoft Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, PowerPoint presentations, PDFs.

  1. Under the left-hand menu section called Posting, select the Upload File option.
  2. Click the Browse… button to find the file on your local machine.
  3. Click the Upload button.
  4. Once the file has been uploaded to the blog server, you have the option to either create a new entry containing a link to the uploaded file or to simply obtain the HTML to display the link in an existing post.
  5. You’ll have the option to upload another file or to return to the post.

Uploading an Image File

  1. Under the left-hand menu section called Posting, select the Upload File option.
  2. Click the Browse… button to find the image file on your local machine.
  3. Click the Upload button.
  4. Once the image file has been uploaded to the blog server, you will have the option to either create a new entry containing a the uploaded image or to simply obtain the HTML to display the image in an existing post.

  5. You have the additional option of creating a thumbnail of the image. Adjust the Width and Height boxes to scale the image to the size or percentage that you want. You can scale either by pixel size (Pixels in the pull-down menu), or by percentage (Percent in the pull-down menu).

    In addition, you can scale width and height either in proportion to their original sizes, or out of proportion (to distort the image). By default, the Constrain proportions box is checked; this will ensure that if you make a change to either the width or height, the other dimension will be scaled appropriately. If you uncheck the Constrain proportions checkbox, you will be able to scale the width and height to different proportions.

    When creating a thumbnail, the Popup Image button will generate HTML to display your thumbnail image as a link to a popup window containing the full-size image that you uploaded. The Embedded Image button will generate HTML to display your thumbnail image as a link to the full-size image in the same window.
