Posting a Link

Adding images and links to a blog post

To add a URL (uniform resource locator) or 'link' to your blog post open the page you want to link to in a separate browser window or tab, copy the URL from the location bar above the page.


Select the word you want to use as a link with your mouse, when it is highlighted select the 'link' button. Past the URL into the text box and click 'OK'.

You can add images in two ways. Next to the link button is a 'picture' icon. There are a range of options in the popup box, including loading a saved image from your computer.

Another method is to find an image using the Creative Commons options of the Google Image search (under the license options).

This ensure you have the right to use the work in your blog. Use the http://www.google.com/advanced_image_search to locate the suitable image, right click on the image, select 'copy the URL', then copy and paste the URL into the 'From a URL' option in the insert image text box. Make sure to give a citation and link under the image acknowledging the original source.

Blog on!
