My post today is on saving pictures on the blogger servers, but not actually displaying the picture unless it is clicked on through a link or something.

I know many of you are trying to think of a reason why you'd want to do this. My next post will give the perfect reason why you'd want to store a picture on the blogger server without actually displaying it on your blog posts!

The first thing you need to be able to store a picture on blogger is-
a picture! Here's the perfect one to use:
You can obviously use any picture you want to.
Once you have a picture, go to your blog dashboard, and then click on 'new post'.
On the new post page, choose to upload a new picture by clicking on the picture button.
On the next screen, choose to browse to your new picture and click the upload button:



Once the picture is uploaded, make sure that the 'saved' button is grayed out like so:



Your image is now saved on the Blogger server!
To link directly to it, all you need to do is click on the preview link:



and then on the picture when it pops up. With the picture in its own web browser window, look up in the address bar. Just before the name of the image, you'll see a section that has some numbers with a -h just before the \.



If you notice just before the flamingo.jpg there's 's1600-h/'. Delete the -h and then press enter. The picture will look and act as if you were hosting it on your own server! If you want to see a difference, try it for yourself.

As always, if you have questions, please ask me!

My next post will be all about changing the annoying little Blogger Icon in the address bar!
