There are many ways to insert a photo into your blog post. If you are looking for a high quality image, like we wanted for the artist statement blog posts that we were working on this week at Cpastal Taranaki School, then embedding the photo is a good way to go. This will give you a higher quality image (less fizzy) than other options, such as uploading a screenshot into the media folder.
Here’s how:
- Click on the photo you would like to embed to open it.
- Click on the three vertacle dots (skinny snowman) in the top right corner.
- If the option to ’embed item’ shows up, go ahead and click it. If not your may need to select ‘open in another window’ and then repeat the process so that the embed option shows up.
- Select and copy the embed code.
- On a new tab, open your new post on Edublogs. Click the ‘text’ tab, and paste in the code.
And you’re done! When you click back onto the visual tab, you should see your embedded photo in all it’s high quality glory.
Here’s an example of an embedded photo:
And here is the same photo inserted as a screenshot instead:
Do you notice any difference in the quality between these two pictures?
