Techno question

What did I do on last post that didn't enable me to create a title? I don't even know how I got back here. I get to thinking I'm a hotshot at this and suddenly some little minor glitch slaps me up the side of the head and says, "Girl, you don't know what your doing, admit it!"

To all sons out there...I really want to figure out how to transfer my pictures from little square thingy to computer and then be able to send them on blog site. Anybody think they can talk me thru that?

Regarding re-naming your post (you may want to print this out to make it easier):

1) open http://blogger.com in your browser. This should pull up the dashboard and you should already be signed in.

2) click on 'Posts' to the right of the work 'Manage' (which is to the right of 'New Post'.)

3) You should now be seeing a listing of all of your posts... one will not have a title. Click on the word 'Edit' next to that entry.

4) Type in the title you want and click 'Publish Post' (in fact you can make whatever changes you wish).

Regarding adding a picture:

When creating/editing a post, you have toolbar above where you type your text. The second button from the right end of the toolbar looks kinda like a landscape... this is the button to add pictures. Click it. A new browser window will open.

1) Click the Browse button. This will open the pc's file system as if you were opening or saving a file in Word, etc.

2) Navigate to the picture you want to upload and double-click on it. You should now see some text like 'c:\documents and...' to the left of the Browse button. This means the picture is ready to upload.

3) If you want to upload another picture to this post, click 'Add Another Image'/ This will create a second line for you to add another image.

4) Repeat steps 2 - 3 until you have finished adding pictures (I think 8 is the max).

5) Click 'Upload Image'.

6) Be Patient! It will take a while.

7) Your pictures will show up in your blog. Don't even bother trying to arrange them... it's a pain in the arse. That's why I have switched to using a separate page to host my pictures... blogs just aren't good at putting in loads of pictures.

Hope that helps.

Thanks, cillic. Got the title fixed but the picture thing requires a lot more...I don't know how to transfere pictures from camera to computer. In fact, I can't find little slot on my computer where that would happen. So I more computer ignorant than you think.

A agree with Cillic about posting photos... it messes everything up when you add photos to the blog - your spacing and text gets moved down everytime you add another photo so you have to go back and fix your text entry once you're done... but I do it anyway. I will most likey post future photos on picasa or some site like that. When I get time.
