This post will be a step-by-step guide on how to upload and add a picture to a post.

1. Look for the picture of the tree in the editor menu bar. If you hover over it it will say 'insert/edit image'.

2. Click on the tree button.

3. The following box will pop-up.

4. Click on the button to the right of the Image URL field.

5. The following selection box will appear. If you see the file name that has been already uploaded that you want to use just click on the file name. Otherwise, to upload a new file name you will need to click on the 'upload image' button.

6. Click on the 'upload image' button.

7. You will see that the box changed and you can now click on the 'Choose File' button to select the picture from your computer.

8. Click on the 'Choose File' button.

9. A box will pop-up that will allow you to find the image file on your local computer. Click on the image file you want to upload and click the 'Choose' button.

10. You will then see the name of the local image file you selected on your computer and then press the 'Upload' button. Files that are more than a couple of MBs may not upload.

11. Depending on the size of the file you are uploading, the upload process may take a minute. Once the file has been uploaded you will see a small version of it in the bottom of the window. Notice that it says 'Click on image to insert'. If that is the image you wanted to add, click on the image.

12. once you click on the small image to insert it you will be taken back to the previous screen you saw. However now the image URL will be entered in the 'Image URL' field. Press the “Insert' button to insert the picture in your post.

13. Once inserted in your post the image may be way bigger than the size of the screen. Don't worry about that. When you save your post a smaller version of your picture will be saved in the post for people to click on.

14. Here is what the smaller version of the image looks like in the post. When people click on the thumbnail picture they will be able to see a full sized version.

15. And finally, when you click on the thumbnail, it will expand to its original size so people can get a closer look.

My one claim to fame here, I'm the guy that started the BurgmanRiders.com site.
