Auto-thumbs

When you insert an image into your blog, it allows you to set the size of the image. So, for example, if I upload this image on the left and then click the image, it'll allow me not only to align it left, but also to select the size. Here, i've aligned left and selected "small" for the size. However, the blog automatically creates a link to the original image, so that once this post is published, if i click the image, it leads me to the full sized image. Hit the back button to get back to the post. IOW: the blog allows you to skip the step of creating thumbnails. It does it for you. 

This is very helpful when it comes to screenshots, which you'll need for your report, but which you don't want to take up a whole page on your blog. Here, for example is a right-aligned screenshot in size small. I can see that it's a screenshot, but i can't make out the detail. But if i click it, i'll get the full shot. 

Instructions: 
First use Windows Snipping Tool or some other tool of your choice to create the necessary screenshots from your cyberculture site. (You can also use the snipping tool to lift avatar pix from WoW and other animated sites.) Save the images on your hard drive or thumbdrive or wherever. Then when you create your report on your blog (in edit mode), put your cursor where you want the image to go in your text, and click the image icon at the top (Insert Image). The dialog box will ask you to upload your image. Choose it and select it, and then the blog will put it where your cursor was. Click on it, and a ribbon of options will pop up underneath the image. Select a size and an alignment. If you want text to wrap, select either right or left. Publish your post, and that sized image will be linked to the original image at original size. 


FYI, you can also insert or embed videos from your hard drive or from youtube with the "Insert a Video" icon above.
