Blog Links

Today on sabbatical I finally found out how to get my photo album linked on my blog page.  After all the frustrations from yesterday's attempts, what I learned I was missing was one simple step.  I had successfully how to create a photo album on picassa and find the embedding URL address for copying.  I thought all I had to do was paste that somehow into the blog.  This is partly true.  What I was missing was to write a title for the link and connect it to that.  You apparently can't link it to something that is not visually there. So I typed in "Here is the link to..." then highlighted it and then clicked the link icon which looks like a chain.  That pops up the URL  box where you can paste the address/link.  Once you publish the post your link is one click away for your viewers.  There are two main benefits I've discovered for doing links in the blog.

1) You show more pictures this way

2) You allotted space through the blog site doesn't increase as fast (photos can eat up alot of memory space)

So there you are.  That's what I learned on sabbatical today!
