Posting Multiple Photos on Blogger

I post a lot of photographs on my blog and it isn't always easy getting them to display in the right spot. Here are some tips on formatting them - if you have a better way, please leave a comment and share it with us.
  1. Easiest way: Let each blog post have just one photo. Just keep making new posts for each of your pictures.
  2. Also easy: When you upload pictures to Blogger, select the largest size available and center it.
  3. For a 2-photo post, place a small photo on the right or left with text next to it. (A medium size will work for a vertical image.) Above that, place your other photo large and centered. (See Example)
  4. Hardest way: Use tables to place your photos and text. If you don't know HTML, don't bother with this one. To keep it simple, put all photos in the same column and all text in the other column. Keep photos small for this method unless your template lets you use the entire width of a page.
Speaking of templates, once you've made a number of posts using images, don't change your template to one that allows a different amount of horizontal space or you'll mess up your old posts. (I learned this the hard way!)
