Images and Hyperlinks (Image Hosting Services)

In Images and Hyperlinks (Basics of photo editing) lesson I told you how to edit a image. After editing you need to show the image in your blog.If you need to insert image to your blog post its very simple in post editor. I already told you about this in  How to Create posts in blogger? Lesson.
In several lessons I told you about Grab the image URL. This is top necessary because when we manually change our template we require using our own urls to mention the url. But if you use template editor you can use Bloggers own space for pictures. You can upload them to your account and use it. Google provides 1GB for that.

In In Images and Hyperlinks (Basics of photo editing) lesson I recommended you to use Picasa. Most Photo editors are just software s. But Picasa is two in one service. Photo editor and Image Hosting service.therefore you don’t need to deal with two parties. Images are saved in same server and this directly speed up your site load time.
    

Google creates a special album of photos you have uploaded to blogger. This also linked to Picasa web albums. So we can manage this storage using Picasa. You can access this using your Gmail Id. this is a flash based online editor. You can edit them too (they called this editing software as picknic). Picasa provides downloadable version. You can edit pictures via it and upload it to Picasa albums. I recommend Picasa because
You needn’t to sign up for a new account. you can use your Gmail id for all this services

Online accessibility Editable

Picasa software is provided for editing and uploading your pictures directly to you account.
However the web version is Picasa is OK. But it depends on the flash player version on your computer. Sometimes it crashes. Therefore offline solution is best and reliable.Download the software and install it. its a simple software(11 MB)

How to grab the URL?
After uploading images to your Picasa account. Log in to the Picasa account.



You will see the uploaded pictures.


Click the desired photo.
Right click on it

Select Copy Image location

Paste it in a secure location
