So, I have just posted my latest blog entry but I wanted to know if I'm doing something wrong. Anyone who uses Blogger - is it better to upload your images first and then add your text around them afterwards, or do you add your pix as you go along. I've been doing the latter but every time a picture is uploaded it messes up the layout and spacing of the text and I have to go back and reshuffle it all. It's a right pain in the proverbial.
If you fancy a little lookie at what I've been up to when I should have been entertaining my daughter during half term then here's the link.

i find the same happens to me too, so now, always upload my images first, then do the type.
plus, i usually just load my images centrally, if you do it to the left or right, it can mess up the layout, it may look ok on your own pc, but through a different browser, on a different pc, can be completely different

Hi!
Well I type my text first and then upload a picture. you can change the layout of your post tho, so the picture can be where you want it to be...when you click on the upload image icon, the box appears for your to browse for you image, just below the add image bit (in the same box)is the bit where you can choose a layout for your text and picture...
I hope that helps! doesn't sound too intelligent tho! lol

I did a similar thread a while back - http://www.craftsforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=9328
I write all my posts in word now. Then C&P from the bottom of the word doc upwards (so that the images go in backwards).
This still adds gaps though :mad:
LOVE the new bloggy template :)

I tend to load my pictures first too now and, if more than one, try to remember to do it in reverse order - then I put my text in

I do my text first and then upload the images.
Then I click on the image when it's uploaded and drag it to where I want it to be.

A fabulous blog, ethel&edna, that is something to aspire to when I eventually start mine. It's really interesting, with colourful pics and probably just enough personal stuff thrown in too.
I love reading everyone's blog and website tips, because I know they will be helpful! I think this is me::pc:
