I'm a bit challenged with placing photos. When I upload a photo from my computer into Ideas or Blog, how do I use the tree icon to place it in the blog/idea? If I put the photos in a chart, the photos do not enlarge or allow for an album slideshow display. Also, the entire photo does not display in the chart. Is there some where that explains step by step how to use the tree icon?

Thanks for your help.

I wrote an entire tutorial on how to use it a while back and danged if I can find it now....

I hope you find it. I tried the site search, but didn't see it

I remember that tutorial in the old Article Writers Forum, but I don't know where that went???

So anyone have a quick How-To explanation?

Joanna, when you have your picture ready, then click on the spot where you want it to go and drag it to that spot. Then click on the picture itself, then click on the tree.

Click on appearance

Alignment
Choose right, left, or center

Then whatever it says at the bottom, submit or insert, I think.

That's it, it will be where you want it, in center or on one side or another with the text wrapped around it.

Don't try to re-size, ATP does that for you. So leave the sizing alone.

Try that in your blog and see if it helps.

Thank you Sharon. I will try again

Let me know if you need more help.

I think I need more help. So how come the photos don't enlarge when I click on them?

Thanks for the great instructions above. I tested it out and it worked I had forgot to click on the photo again before clicking the tree

Are you using Firefox?
I know for sure they'll enlarge with FF for me.

Safari. The photos enlarge in the forums, but don't seem to in the blog. Other people's articles work for me.

I can't use Safari for that same reason. And yes, I have an iMac.
That's why I switched to FF for Macs.

Thanks Sharon, you explain things so well. I didn't realize there would be issues with Safari.

Isn't Sharon a wonderful teacher

What tree icon?

It is the option to insert a photo in a blog or gardening idea article. The forums have a simple Upload an Image click option

I'm upgrading my Mac Tiger 4.11 to Snow Leopard 10.6. Hopefully that will make a difference

I can successfully manipulate images from my computer now , (thanks, Sharon ) but I'm not having much luck in figuring out how to "float" a "db_photo" bb code tag image. Is it possible to do this?

Does the copy/paste method not work Chelle?

I downloaded Firefox and everything is working ok
