I want a blog site

[proud2BlibKansan]

How can I get one? Can I post pictures?

Do they cost money?

1. Try this site

http://www.blogger.com/start you can start a free blog and upgrade to a paid account. I'm not sure what bells and whistles that includes. You can post pictures on it but they must be hosted by a website like photobucket first

Here's my blog which is a free account and I never update any more but it's decent if you want to rant about politics or life in general http://reverendsmitty.blogspot.com/

2. Thank you!

[proud2BlibKansan]

3. I can't figure out how to get my pictures to show up

Do you know how to post pictures?

[Reverend_Smitty]

4. I believe you can click on the little picture icon

on the far right hand corner of the toolbar and it will let you upload an image or go into your photobucket account and copy and past the info in the "tag" section. The picture should come up that way too

5. Boy do I feel stupid

Where is the toolbar?

10. when doing that...

you'll need to put in an image html tag like this <img src=" www.photo.com/photo. jpeg "> the spaces between the quotation marks were added by me.

or just go into the place where you type in the text for your blog and there will be some little icons directly above the text box, one is a b, i, an abc and the last one on the right is a little "picture" icon it looks like a little mountain landscape. Click on it and the rest is pretty self-explanatory

12. Sorry I don't get the little picture icon

It's not there. grrrr

I know I am being a pest. Maybe I will try to find an easier blog site. This one is apparently too complicated for lil ole me.

Thanks for your help. :hi:

6. I post pictures right from my pictures on my hard drive.

I also post them from Picasa.

7. Picasa won't work on a Mac

I just tried to download it.

I use photobucket. But the blogsite is telling me those links are too long.

I guess I could go into the pictures on my hard drive but I have a ton of them and the way I organize them is by putting them on photobucket.

8. oh, I don't have a Mac

I wish I did. Not sure what to do then. I just started my blog a month ago so my relatives far away could see what the kids are up to.

9. Yeah that's what I want it for

A guy I met at a political gathering wants me to post my pictures from Crawford.

11. wordpress.com

It takes about 30 seconds to set one up. It's free and easy to post images from photobucket. To post a image click on this then add the url to the box that pops up.

14. Okay thanks I will check it out

13. I use LiveJournal.com.

It's really, really easy.

15. Good deal, thanks
