I can't figure out how to manipulate my photos by which I mean they seem to insert themselves any way they want even though I choose left or right or what ever. I would like to put photos where I want them and be able to put in captions so people know what the photo is of.

Koty just made this post and I think it looks like chit and wouldn't enjoy reading it myself.

Any help would be most appreciated.

    I have the same problem and began using this code to add my images:

    [img hspace="15" src="http://url of image" align="left" border="none" /]

    Except change [ and ] to < and >

    I usually just add them into the body of the post, and then select, cut and paste the image into the text where I want it to finally live.

    Yeah, pics are a problem with blogger. You can click and drag them, did you know that? That is after you've uploaded the image in the body. It doesn't like like you're dragging them when you do it, but it works. After I've written the post I go in to "edit HTML" of the post (not the template edit), and I tweak it some more, so that the paragraphs align a bit better. However, it does take a little work before you get the hang of it.

    Let me attempt to help, assuming I got correctly what your problem is.

    If you know how to choose left, right, center or no position in particular, in the dialogue box that appears when you click the photo icon, then you are halfway through your goal already.

    If, say you are already typing your third paragraph and you want to insert a photo beneath that, determine first where you want your picture to appear. Then, upload your picture (it will always land on top of your draft post even if you're almost done with your post.

    After uploading, click the "Edit Html" tab. Once you're on the Html page, highlight the complete Html code for your photo then cut and paste it to the portion in the body of your post where you want it to appear.

    hey kinsley, fill keywords in between your alt tags

    in the blogger code you will see something like alt=""

    suppose the image was the boat one put in "motor boat" (just an eg)

    search engines cant see image files so it would be beneficial for you to put in some eywords to know what the image is about

    if you want some more image related tips for free just message me ill guide you to a post i wrote a while ago cheers

    When you insert photo, go to "edit HTML" mode and change some HTML there.

    For example, if you inserted 3 photos and make the top one to align to the left, and the middle one to align center, and the bottom one to align to the right, you can do something like;

    [div align="left"] [img src="IMAGE LINK URL" /] [/div]
    [div align="center"] [img src="IMAGE LINK URL" /] [/div]
    [div align="right"] [img src="IMAGE LINK URL" /] [/div]

    This should do, souldn't it?
    (Change " [ " and " ] " to " < " and " > ".)
