a little assist please

I need real help. This blogger help business is junk!! I've done the things that they've told me to do (at least I think I have). and still I have no pictures on my blog. Can anyone give me honest to goodness easy directions? See I have pictures uploaded on snapfish. It took forever to get them there and I already have that software downloaded. I would prefer to not have to download new software from Picassa just to upload pictures to it, to upload to my blog. Its too time consuming and there has to be an easier way. Is there some kind of code I can put into the contents of the blog that would connect it to my snapfish account. See I think that is what I just tried to do, rather unsuccessfully I might add. I dont' know why I was unsuccessful though. I put it into the little thing.

So I'm frustrated. Can anyone help me and do it in English? The other factor here is that at best I'll be working at an internet speed of 31.1- that is on a really good day. Typically its 28.8 or 26.4.

i don't have time this morning, but I'll get you some instructions sometime before I leave for camp (in about 48 hrs)...

how utterly disturbing. Ok, here's what you do:

1. upload your pics to snapfish.
2. find your pic on snapfish. right click it, and click "properties". copy what it says for 'address'.
3. go to the blog you want to post a pic on. Use the following code:

< img src="PASTE THE ADDRESS YOU COPIED HERE,MAKE SURE TO INCLUDE QUOTES ON BOTH ENDS, AND THE HTTP://" >
(remove the space after "<" and before ">")
When you post that entry, instead of that code, you'll get your picture.

If that doesn't work, I don't know what to tell you (mostly b/c I'll be at camp and won't be able to tell you anything for two weeks).

Hope that helps!

Jake seems to have taken care of things pretty well. I have never heard of Snapfish so I use Photobucket instead. I like it a lot because they give you 3 different types of html codes depending on what type you'll need. But it seems like all the different sites work pretty much the same. The only other thing I would mention for easy picture addition is to add your posts through Blogger Dashboard (if you don’t already). It seems that a few people use the "Blog This" button and have had problems with adding pictures and changing things easily. If you add post through the “Blog This” button and would like to know more about the alternate way (that I find makes adding pictures a lot easier), then let me know.

i use flickr (www.flickr.com) for hosting my pictures : i opened an account, configure my options, profile, and my blog in flickr,send my posts via email (you can browse them too), then i click on the pic i want to post, choose "blog this" and there it is. pic is posted into your blog. you can write your post right away on flickr or go to "blogger dashboard", edit posts and write, edit or delete your post there. it works pretty well with me and i have both, a blog plus a photoblog.
good luck.

and using this solution you don't need to know much about html.
