Pictures on the sites

Not all file formats are accepted by the sites. JPGs are accepted and are common file type.

Some officials e-mail pictures (for example mugshots) in the body of an e-mail message.

On many computers you can get the picture into a jpg like this:
- Right click on picture
- Copy
- Microsoft Paint (in Start Menu | All Programs |Accessories) – then Paste and Save As a
jpg.

Uploading in Wordpress
- Sign in
- Click on New Post
- NOTE: If you have written text before your picture upload, please make sure to SAVE
DRAFT before uploading a picture, in case the upload doesn’t work. (More about that
below.)
- Find the file on your computer.
- Pick a size and alignment in post.
- Click on INSERT INTO POST

At times, you might get a white screen like this below.

The problem doesn’t seem to exist in Firefox. If you do not routinely use Firefox, here’s how you start it:

 Click on START bottom left corner of your screen.

 Click on RUN.
 Type in FIREFOX.

If it’s installed it should start. Then type in the URL of the blog that you’d like to update.

If it’s not on your computer here’s how to install it:

Go to Start|Control Panel|Add remove programs|Run Advertised programs, highlight the program of choice and
click Run.

In Internet Explorer:
A couple of ways around it:
1) Close Internet Explorer and restart (that’s why it’s important to have saved a draft.)
2) If 1) doesn’t work, you can also upload pictures straight through the media library.
3) From the dashboard click on ADD NEW under MEDIA. (If the ADD NEW doesn’t
appear, click on the ARROW next to MEDIA)

4) Click on SELECT FILES

5) Find the file on your computer
6) Copy the FILE URL (See below - 1)
7) Click on EDIT POST (See below – 2)
8) Click on EDIT below your original post to get back into it.
Alternately, you can also click on MEDIA LIBRARY, instead of FROM URL and insert the
picture from there.
