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

Use this code:

<img src="/ADDRESS%20URL%20-SEE%20#2%20ABOVE" />

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, we think it's essential to give credit and to link the creator. Here's how to do that:

a. Linking the image:

Use this code:

<a href="/URL%20WHERE%20YOU%20GOT%20THE%20IMAGE"><img src="/ADDRESS%20URL%20-SEE%20#2%20ABOVE" /></a>


Looks like this:

b. Crediting the image:

Use this code:

<i>Image credit: <a href="/node/16034">BlogHer '07 buttons</a></i>


Looks like this:

Image credit: BlogHer '07 buttons

Hope this helps!
