A few people have asked me how to post bigger pictures on blogger. There are lots of ways, but here is how I do it …
First, I size my pictures at 800pixels x 533 pixels in Photoshop, but you don’t need to do that. This trick worked for me before I started resizing.
Also, on my blog template, I have the outer wrapper set to 1200 px wide. If you want bigger pictures, your wrapper (the middle, big chunk of your blog) needs to be bigger.
Okay, so first I upload a pic.
Now, I go into “edit html” and I see this:
image ID, blah, blah blah … WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 266px; TEXT-ALIGN: center” alt=”” src=”http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3rXUpHUAYq8/SaG6mmB0v6I/AAAAAAAACvU/mVONgeDoUHs/s400/IMG_5408+copy+copy+copy.jpg” border=”0″ />
The numbers in red are what you are going to change. I change both of the 400s to 800, and double the other number. In this case, the other number is 266, so I am going to change it to 532.
Now it looks like this:
image id, blah, blah blah … WIDTH: 800px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 532px; TEXT-ALIGN: center” alt=”” src=”http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3rXUpHUAYq8/SaG6mmB0v6I/AAAAAAAACvU/mVONgeDoUHs/s800/IMG_5408+copy+copy+copy.jpg” border=”0″ />
Click back to “Compose.” And Walaaaa! Now you have a nice big picture!
Hope that helps!
