There are only a few steps required to post a picture to the BLOG.

1. Print this set of instructions so you have them handy
2. Get a pencil to check off each step as you progress along

1. log into the blog
2. create a new post
3. put a title in the title block of the post
4. have (a) picture(s) on your computer in a directory that you know where it/they is/are
5. on the frame around text entry window for the BLOG is a button that looks like a landscape with sky -- push the button and a new window will pop up
6. in the text field below the "add another image" hyperlink post the location of the file on your computer. You can do this in one of two ways
   
1. copy the location of the file from a file manager and paste it into the text field or
2. click on the browse button next to the field and navigate to the location where the picture is located
7. after you have identified the location of the photograph file on your computer then you can add more, up to 5, before you send them to Blogger so you can have them in your article
8. scroll down on the post image window (the one that popped up and you entered the location of the file) and select a layout for the image selecting the round dot below the type
