I don't see any way to add a image

Photo size when posted via email

 I set up the secret email address so that I could post to this blog using my phone easily. Since there's no app that works for blogger on the phones this method of using email is my first choice.  In order to insert a photo I use the paperclip attachment button in the upper right. The picture does have to be on the device in order for this to work.  -- Blessed be the flexible, for they shall not be bent out of shape. Chris Guld GeeksOnTour.com

Photo Storage with Google Photos set to High Quality

Image
This post is to experiment with uploading large photos and see if it affects my Drive storage numbers. Right now, Drive storage reports that there is 1GB being used by Google Photos. If I upload some full-size images from my C drive, will the GP drive space used change? The following 6 photos are right at 16 megapixels - all are over 6MB in file size. I think we'll see that when I find them in Google Photos (thru the archive) they will be compressed. Original = 5184X3456 pixels 6.2 MB, Album Archive = 2048X1365 pixels 481K  Original 5184X3456 pixels 6.2MB, Album Archive = 2048X1365 pixels 367K Original = 5184x3456 pixels 6.0 MB, Album Archive = 2048x1365 pixels 368K  Original = 5130x1549 pixels 6.7 MB, Album Archive = 2048x1365 pixels 524K Original = 5184x3456 pixels 6.8 MB, Album Archive = 2048x1365 pixels 439K Original = 5184x3456 pixels 6.2 MB, Album Archive = 2048x1365 pixels 531K Original = 5184x3456 pixels 6.5 MB, Album Archive = 2...

Embedding from Facebook

On a facebook page post, you can click the little v dropdown at the upper right of a post and select "Embed" This gets you code that you can then add to the HTML of a blog post or web page. Here is what it looks like: It's odd that Facebook gives us a way to embed the whole post and not a simple link. But, with a little work, I can get that link. Notice that clicking the comment button takes you directly to the Facebook post - so all I need is that link. Instead of clicking on the comment button, I right-click and "Copy Link Address" voila! there is the link directly to the post. https://www.facebook.com/geeksontour/posts/10154983325036802 I thought I would need to be the owner of the page in order to get the embed code, but I tried it on your post anyway ... and it worked.
