Sample: Multiple photos in blog post
The automated form only provides for one photo with pre-configured positions. However, you can add other in two ways.
  • by putting them into a paragraphs in the body of the post (with HTML turned ON); good for one or two.
  • by creating an album in the Gallery and linking the album to a short blog post summarizing the "photo essay" in the album; the item under Research about WWI munitions is an example of this approach.
Multiple photos can only appear in line with text unless advanced HTML is used to re-size and re-position them. See examples.

Both options require that you first put the photos into the Gallery. I have created an album called News Images with a couple of sample photos.

Individual photos

  • Put each image into the News Images album OR create a sub-album if for multiple photos.
  • PREVIEW the photo in the public view; click it to expand the image; repeat until it does not expand.
  • right-click the image and copy the URL of the image (NOT the URL at top of window!)
  • return to blog
  • create your new post
  • you must use HTML to use these techniques, turn it ON
  • turn auto line feeds OFF;
  • add introductory paragraph(s)
  • In the body of the post, create a paragraph, and copy and paste the respective URL from the public view. For example (note the style parameters); look at this post in the Editing Suite to see how it works,
Note that as you squeeze the window the photo will adapt. You can play with the max-width value if you want a small view.
