Why we should use images: Everyone should think before they publish their blogs. They should always considering putting an image in, whether it is something they personally took or a picture from the Internet they gives you a general idea what they are talking about. When a person who visits your blog sees pictures they are actually more likely to read your blog because they already have an idea what the post is about. Pictures improve your blog by making it clearier to people what you are talking about and it also adds colour to your blog.
How do you add images to your blog: If you are using blogger you go to the top of the page you are typing on and beside the word 'link' you see a picture and hoover over it and it should say 'Insert Image'. You click on it and up comes a page with 4 options from which you may want to get your photo from.
Your computer: Click Browse and all your pictures come up and click on them to upload, hold down CTRL if you want to upload multiples
From a URL: Find the image you want from the Internet and click Copy on the address bar and paste into the box and up comes the image.
**Don't forget to include a source from which you found the picture**
From your blog: Click on the link and it will show you any pictures you have already on your blog.
From your phone: You need to have Google+ to upload pictures from your Phone.
Where do you get your images from and how to add the attribution: You either have taking
a picture that you want to show people who visit your blog or you find a picture from the web which you like. If you take a picture and upload it to your blog that is fine because you are the person who took the picture but if you upload a picture some else took you need to include a source back to were you found the picture because some people actually get paid to take pictures for newspapers and you may be breaching copyright laws because you need to pay money to use the picture or get the photographers permission.
