Want to add an image to your blog? You have two basic options.

1. Upload it from your computer.
   • If the image isn’t already on your computer but somewhere online, right-click on the image and select “Save Image As”. Save the image somewhere on your computer.
2. Grab the image’s URL online.

Personally, I always go with the former route. Why? There’s no guarantee the image will remain hosted at the site in question; the owner, after all, could decide to delete or move it.

In any case, I’ll show you both ways.

Adding an uploaded image

1. Once in your admin, go to the “Write” tab.
2. Click on “Post”.
3. Click on the sun icon (located directly to the right of the words “Add Media” on the upper-right hand side of the text box).
4. A pop-up box will appear. Click on “Choose files to upload”.
5. Another pop-up – this one your PC file manager – will appear. Choose the image you want in your post.
6. Once the file has uploaded, scroll down and choose the particular options you want. Click on “Insert into Post”.

Adding an image via URL

1. Find an image online and copy its URL.
2. Once in your admin, go to the “Write” tab.
3. Click on “Post”.
4. On your toolbar, click on the “Edit/Insert image” icon (represented by a tree).
5. Paste the URL in the “Image URL” section.
6. Hit “Insert”.

As always, here’s a video tutorial for those of you who learn better with visuals:

Two weeks ago we added more than 40 themes to the site. This week we’ve added 20 more for you to choose from.

Some that attracted my eye follow:

As always, if you have your thematic eye on something we currently lack, be sure to tell us. We’ll get it up there in a flash.

Blogivism!

Last week, we updated blogivists.com with over 40 new themes for y’all to use. I know, sweet!

So…if you’re not completely satisfied with the theme you currently have, shop around. See what’s newly available. I’m almost positive you’ll like what you see.

And if you don’t? Tell us what you want! If it’s compatible with WordPress MU, we’ll throw it up ASAP.

Also, remember to revisit your themes page. At least once every two weeks, the Blogivists Team will be adding more themes! More options! MORE CHOICES!

I’ll leave you with a taste of what we’ve added:

Say you want to give a little emphasis or attitude to your post’s title. Make a word italicized or, better yet, crossed struck out.

Great idea but argh! The editing tool bar doesn’t apply to the title box.

Thankfully, there’s a simple way to get around the obstacle: HTML.

In order to italicize something, surround the words with “<i>” on the left and “</i>” on the right. An example:

• HTML (what you’ll write): This is <i>italicized</i>.
• Visual (what will appear): This is italicized.

In order to strike (or cross) out something, surround the words with “<strike>” on the left and “</strike>” on the right. An example:

• HTML (what you’ll write): This is <strike>strikeout</strike>.
• Visual (what will appear): This is strikeout.

For those of you who operate best with visuals, here the same process on video:

Sweet! Try it out yourself. Come on! You do want to express yourself, don’t you?
