Thanks for the earlier info. I'm getting better at this blogging stuff. Two more questions, please:

How do I insert a picture from my computer to one of my existing blog articles?

How do I add keywords, so my blog gets more hits?

Above the post editor, there's a little star button labeled "Upload/Insert".



Just click the star and use the uploader to add it to your "library"; you can add items from your library to your post by going to the library tab, hitting "show" on the item you want to edit its details, and then hitting "Insert into Post".

Adding keywords is just a matter of using words and phrases you think will be popular search terms; e.g. if you think people often look for nuclear walruses, you might ensure that your posts use those words frequently. It's an inexact science. I have future plans to promote the blogs more effectively on SFN and other sites, but I'm unfortunately very busy these days.

There are also "post tags" in the right-hand column of the "edit post" page. I'm not really sure how these are utilized, but you can tag the post with descriptive terms.

Also, in case you want to use video, you can put youtube videos in posts if you've loaded the plugin. Just type [youtube:url of the video]

Incorporate words or sentences into the body of your blog that a prospective searcher might put as search terms...the more words that match theirs the better the chance they will see your entry listed.
