OK - I looked up Forensics foxmail hints, and was able to post a pic off the web. BUT --- I wish I knew how to get pics off my computer onto a blog.

When writing a post the insert a pic box only asks for URL addresses. Can you post a pic without one?

Any suggestions or comments are welcome !

Gerrel- If you want to use your own pics. Open up a photobucket account. Then you just download pics from your computer to photobucket. Then from photobucket you can use them in your post. Here is one of my pics from Irwindale speedway.

Noah- Thats funny. Actually the driver of the 56 car that is on top of the other car is an 18 year old 4'9" 95 pound girl. She is from Albuquerque, New Mexico. Whenever the late models run out here in Cali. She makes the trip out here. She is part of a 4 car team that is sponsored by Justice Bros.

Yep What 3Fan said.. Go to photobucket and set up a free account. You can load pics either from a site or ones that u save to your computer to the photobucket account, and then just copy the direct link code that looks like this (http://i185.photobucket.com/albums
/x107/texascudaguy/tricycles.jpg) into the image tool on your blog page..
Or to add a pic into a comment, copy the html code instead.

Good luck.

Oh and on photobucket you can resize them if you want, so they dont blow up your blog like the giant one 3fan put here.. LOL.

You could just upload pics to your fox account too. You don't have to wait for it to approve them, just click on it and it will show up, then go to properties and copy the url.

Thanks everyone for all the helpful comments. I will be working on putting the blog together later tonight. I am on Central Time...so don't expect anything until later this evening.

For those who don't know me too well...penguins are my favorite animal.

Also- if not mentioned yet- you can resize pictures after they are in your blog. when you go to edit and click on the picture you can "grab" a corner and 'drag' it to the size you like

It took me a while to stumble on that one.

Cool! I'm still testing what HTML code I can use and what is rejected. I tried laoding a stylesheet, but that only works the first time you load it. If you later edit the post, it goes away.

This is fun, isn't it?

another tid-bit
You can write a blog here (Fox) and copy?paste the HTML directly to say Blogspot.

But the reverse is not true
I have to modify the code for it to work at Fox

HH - Thanks a lot! I actually knew part of this with the insert the URL code, but didnt really understand the Layout choices. Now I can get the pics sized up/down. Several Others have mentioned Photobucket too. Seems like a good choice to me.
