Adding an Image into a Post

Hey -- several of you have been wondering how to add a screen shot into a blog post.
It's actually really easy -

I didn't know how to make a screen shot on a PC - so I did a screen capture of that on my Mac laptop
On a Mac - it's

Command - Shift - 4

That gives you a target tool to capture just the area you want to see.

Below is the screen capture I made about using a PC to make the screen capture - I am adding it to this post by going to the top of this text box and selecting the little image that looks like a mountain view next to the underlined Link.

When I hover over the image box on the top row it says: Insert Image
I clicked on that a popup box and it comes up with a variety of options.

Under the options is a smaller box that says
^ Choose files

I choose the first option
Upload

When I click on the Choose Files button - it lets me select a file off my computer. The screen shot I made was on my desktop.

Once it is uploaded the box adds a button at the bottom
Add Selected 

I click on that and now you can see my MAC screen capture of how to make a screen capture on a PC. You can click on my image and it enlarges it so you can actually read the content...

Hope that helps!
