Someone asked for step by step instructions on picture uploading, so here they are!
1. Know where your pictures are on your hard drive
2. Scroll down to "Add Pictures to your Blog"
3. Click on "Choose File" or "Browse" depending on your browser
4. Select the picture you want to upload
5. Add a caption to the picture. Hyperlinks are legal in here so please link to your sources!
6. Click "Add Photo"
7. AJAX magic happens and the picture should appear in the box below "Last 40 Uploaded Pictures"
7a. Add as many photos as you want to have in your blog post, no page refreshing required. The form resets itself after each upload.
8. Now you have options: Select which side of the screen you'd like the picture to be on. If you pick center, text will not wrap around the image, it will just be centered in the middle of your blog post
9. Type in the width or height you'd like the image to be, if it's the right size (620 pixels wide or less!), then click the "Generate Code" button. This creates some spiffy HTML code for you with all of the links and properties for putting your image in the right position.
10. Click in the code box (Text automatically selects all!) and copy that text.
11. Paste the text at the beginning of the paragraph that you'd like it to appear on(right/left) or above (center)
12. To set the blog preview image, click the link below the image in your upload gallery that you'd like to have as the preview image and it will paste the correct image location in the "Set preview image" box. You don't have to do anything else!
Post any other questions below :)
