Adding images to Blogger

Blogger editor > toolbar > Insert Image > options

Maybe a picture is worth a thousand words. A photo or graphic can attract the eye, set the tone, explain, demonstrate, or illustrate.

Every blogger should know all the ways to add an image to a blog post or page.

Four choices when you click the Insert Image tool

Here's a guide.

Click the Insert Image tool to get Add Images, with access to the following four image-inserting options:

• Upload
• Photos (Google Photos)
• Blogger
• By URL

At this time, I do not recommend dragging and droping images directly into your blog.

Most of these methods place the image file that Blogger uses in your Media Manager (not Google Photos). That is Blogger's own image library.

If you insert from "Photos," i.e. Google Photos, Blogger will place a copy of the image you select in the album for your blog. The copy is identical to, but separate from, the one in Photos.

Media manager, not Photos

Blogger uses the Media Manager version of the file and no other.
If you delete an image from your album archive, it will leave an ugly hole in your blog.

Warning: As of this writing, there is no "restore deleted photos" option for the Media Manager like the one in Google Photos.
