How do I post images?

Our apologies - BlogHer doesn't currently allow members to upload images. It's not just a bandwidth issue: We don't want to develop a server full of images to which we don't own copyright (more here).

However, you can still pull images into your posts on BlogHer. Here's how:

1. Upload your image to an
image hosting service

Use a third-party image hosting service, such as Flickr or Our
Media to host your images. These sites are free and popular. You can
host your images there and link to them from your posts here. Please
do not post any images wider than 400px, as they will break the site
layout!

2. Identify the location of your image

- If you use a PC, use your mouse to right-click on the image.

- Select "Properties"

- Copy the URL that appears next to "Address"

3. Pull the image into your post

Click on the "Insert/edit Image" button. It's a small button with a tree
on it, above the "Body" text box. Paste in the url of the image. You can
leave the alignment, dimensions, border, and spacing blank, or you can
specify them exactly. When you are finished filling out the Insert/edit
image form, click the "Insert" button. The code for the image will
appear in the body of your post.

Use this code:

&lt;img 
src="/ADDRESS%20URL%20-SEE%20#2%20ABOVE" /&gt;

4. Link and credit the image to its creator

Whether you are using your own work or pulling someone else's into
BlogHer because you think it's something we should all see, it's
essential to give credit and to link the creator. Here's how to do that:

a. Linking the image:

Use this code:

&lt;a 
href="/URL%20WHERE%20YOU%20GOT%20THE%20IMAGE"&gt;&lt;img 
src="/ADDRESS%20URL%20-SEE%20#2%20ABOVE" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

Looks like this:

b. Crediting the image:

Use this code:

&lt;i&gt;Image 
credit: &lt;a href="/node/16034"&gt;BlogHer '07 
buttons&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Looks like this:

Image credit: BlogHer '07 buttons

Hope this helps!
