How to upload pictures

I put this in a comment, but it's easier to see in a post. Blogger is all set up to upload pictures directly from your hard drive. It's easy. But first you need a free program called Picasa. Go to www.picasa.com to get it. It comes from Google and it's safe and quick to download. Once it is on your computer, it will find all your pictures and make them easy for you to see and edit.

Once you have Picasa, select the pictures you want to upload (click each one, look to see if it is in the "picture tray" in the bottom left-hand corner, click the "hold" button to keep it there, get the next one.) Now. See the button in Picasa labeled "Blogger"? This is how you upload pictures to the blog. The first thing you will have to do is sign on with "Hello," another free program that will come up the first time you press the "Blogger" button. After you do that, all you have to do to upload a picture to the blog is to click the Blogger button and enter the username and password you picked out on the Hello page (the sign-in link is near the bottom of the page that comes up.) All done! Easy!

I am going to do it right now with a picture on my Lexis computer. OK, all done. Now I'm going to go see if it worked . . .
