It's one of six options you'll see once you click the Insert Image tool in Blogger's editing window.
Update: The user interface has changed, so my screen shots and step-by-steps are no longer 100% valid. This option is now simply called "Blogger."
Images added in this way appear in the blog but live in the album archive, where your blog has its own directory.
Technically, "From this blog" displays all the photos in that directory. These include any images that have been uploaded to the directory but not added to the blog (which can happen).
But "From your blog's album in the Album Archive" would just not be very helpful.
With "From this blog," you aren't really adding anything new, just reusing what you've already added or uploaded.
Consequently if you are hoping to repost an image you used recently, the odds are good that you will find it near the bottom of this window. But not always.
Oddly, the Album Archive albums themselves are reliably chronological, oldest first.
There's no sort or search option in either place. But if you scroll down, you'll eventually see everything.

Out of order
Unfortunately, "From this blog" only displays its contents in an unpredictable order. I think of it as "chronological order by date, but with lots of random exceptions."Consequently if you are hoping to repost an image you used recently, the odds are good that you will find it near the bottom of this window. But not always.

also... note.. Google photo albums are really touchy once you delete a photo from the archive album it removes from any place it that the image may have been posted. eg blogger.

ReplyDeleteNoted & knowing
Not seen before, what that B+ stands for and where it's used?
Thanks
The image above is a screen shot of the top part of my "from this blog" options. It shows images that I created or have permission to use.
DeleteThe orange "B+" is a graphic I created to use with several of the blog posts I wrote about integrating Blogger and Google+. Here is one obsolete example (the information is no longer applicable).
I did not use all of these images, though I did upload them into my Album Archive for the blog. As I say in my post, that can happen.
