Blogger image upload problems

My best frend Jeter Harris rites:

deer skeez,
heer it iz ... day deux uv not bein able to uplode a pikshur.
da messije i get iz dat i'm havin sum server difficultiez.
i'm reelee reelee mad at google fer dis.
do u hav any idearz?
yerz troolee-o'jh

Jete, I understand yer frustrayshun. Forchewnitly, thare's an eezy werkarownd. Yoo need to uplode the foto to anuther site and then point to it frum yer blog. Yoo can uplode to Catster, Flickr, photo bucket, or any one of many free image hosts. Once it's bin uploded sumware other than Blogger, git the image "path" - that's the URL ware the image livs. To do that, rite-clik on the image to pop up the menu as shone beelow:

Selekt PROPERTIES and then the dialog box that comes up will show yoo the URL of the image:

Copy the URL (by selekting and hitting CONTROL-C), and then bak at yer blog, in the EDIT HTML mode, paste (CONTROL-V) the URL into yer post and in frunt of it, put <img src= " and after it, tipe "   border="0" >

so that the hole thing looks like:

<img src="http://www.fotosite.com/jeterspikcher.jpg" border="0">

... and yer dun!
