With some knowledge of basic HTML, additional images can be added to a blog post. refer to this example of multiple images per post.

Image in SailBlogs Gallery or on another web page

If the image is located in a SailBlogs gallery album, or on another website (like a Flickr image gallery or some other location), a standard html tag for an image can inserted into the blog post:

<img src="http://www.domain-with-image.com/abcde.jpg" class="blogImg">

An easy way to get the URL or an image is to RIGHT CLICK on the image and select "copy image location" or "copy image address" (depending on the browser).

NOTE: There is a shortcut icon located above the blog post body field that will insert this syntax for you, you just add in the URL to the image.


Multiple Images in Remote Posts

The remote system of SailBlogs Premium is limited in a couple of ways, and one is that there can only be one image attachment per email to the system. David of Amanzi (http://www.floatingclassroom.com) found a way around this.

1. You'll need to have confirmation messages turned on - see your remote properties.

2. Compose a remote post with an image attachment, setting the view to OFF and just some minor description in the body field.

3. The remote processor will send a confirmation message that also includes the FILE NAME of the image that was sent. Images sent with remote posts always get new file names, regardless of the name of the file that was attached.

4. Now you know the name of the image file that is on the SailBlogs server, and you can build an HTML link to that image in another post. Images are always stored in the

/member/yourdirectory/images/

directory. So the HTML in the post that will be visible to the user would be

<img src="/member/yourdirectory/images/abcde.jpg" class="blogImg">
