I had a question the other day asking me how to insert graphics into your blog posts on Active Rain. It is not a '25 words' or less answer - though it is pretty simple - so I decided to make a tutorial on how to do it:

When you click on "Write A New Blog Post" on your home page, the Screen Shot below comes up. Notice the little icon of the tree.

WYSIWYG icon bar

 

Clicking on this icon will bring up this next screen shot. You want to click on the "kitchen sink" icon to the right of the "Image URL" bar:

 

Browse For Image

 

Once you click on the "kitchen sink" icon, this dialog box pops up:

Browse your computer to upload an image

 

Simply browse your computer for the image you want to upload and click on "Upload Photo". It will take Active Rain a few moments to upload, and then this box will appear:

 

Preview Image Upload

 

Be sure to fill in "Image Description" and "Title". This has to do with handicap accessibility. If you do NOT FILL these in, Active Rain will prompt you to do so with another dialog box. You can ignore it, but it's best if you just take a few moments and do it.

Once the image is uploaded, you can click on the "Appearance" tab to place it where you want it.

Hope that helps!

"Dedicated To Your Success!"
