How to upload a picture to the blog

Step 1: Upload the image so anyone using the Internet can access it. Websites that allow you to upload images for free are picasa.google.nl or www.flickr.com

Step 2: Get the image URL for the image that you want to display on your blog. Photo-sharing websites usually have a text box that provides the image URL underneath each image. If you cannot find this text box, you can open the image in a new browser window and copy the URL where the image is located.

Step 3: Post the image URL on the blog under the assignment
