How to post other people's images in your blog

David Joyner recently pointed out that posting other people's images in your own blog is non-obvious. So I decided to write a little HOWTO about the most basic method I know.

1. In the blog editor, click the "Source" button:
   

   source button

   
   Now the editor shows the html code it generated from your text:

   source view

   
   Don't change any of the funny tags if you don't know what you're doing!
2. In another window (or tab), find the picture you want to post and click the "view all sizes" button:
   

   view sizes button

   
   Then select the desired size and copy the code in the "Copy this HTML code:" box:

   all sizes page

3. Now paste the code into the blog-editor at the position where you want the picture to appear:
   

   paste point

4. Now press the "Source" button again:
   

   post with image

   
   and you can go on editing your message

If you use other people's pictures in your blog, alway make sure you have the right to do so! If you use non-free images, always ask for permission!

The picture used in this post is Baltimore downtown, 49 by wdj. And added as described above, it looks like this: ("Square" sized).
