Adding Photos











I get all messed up on how to use Add Image. I mean, Uploading the file I understand ... it's all those options of left, right, center or none and the small medium and large. So, I'm going to try all of them while Chris steps me through it and maybe we can both learn at the same time. I'm writing this paragraph first, then I'll go get a picture.



So, I chose small and left for the picture of me and it automatically went to the left of the current paragraph. So far, so good.


Now, I'm writing another paragraph and I'm going to go get a different picture. I'm using the 'small' size for all of them so I don't have to type so much text to see the flow around them. The next picture will be of a road scene. I'll still keep it small, but I'll choose 'right' this time. Hmmm - it still appears at the top of my post, now to the right of the first paragraph. I have to drag it into place. And, here's the counter-intuitive part: Chris tells me to grab the picture and drag to the beginning of the paragraph. That's the left of the paragraph, not the right. But, when I let go, the picture appears at the right. She says that's the 'float' code that makes that happen. She says you can actually go into the 'Edit Html' view and see where it says "FLOAT: right", if you change 'right' to 'left', it will change the position of the picture. I don't like going into the html view, it scares me.






OK, now it's time for a centered one. Geez, all this typing is making my paws ache. I'm usually a dog of few words, but we need words here to see the effect of the picture options.




Now - the last one is 'none'. I have no idea where that's going to go, but I know how I'm going to do it. I'm going to upload it and it will appear at the top of this post. Then I'll drag it little by little till I get to the beginning of this paragraph - just before the 'Now'. Ok, here goes.
