TypePad makes it easy to add images to your post, resize them, and create popups for full size viewing. Adding images to your blog can give them a lot of visual interest, whether you’re blogging about food, travel, or even…web marketing.
Simply select where you’d like to insert your image by clicking within the post field. Then click on the Insert Image button and follow the instructions in the popup window.
First you’ll choose an image by browsing through your local computer. You can then set image options. When I’m setting up a TypePad account for a client a modify the default settings. The first option is to wrap the text. I generally keep the text wrapped around the image in question, but have the image on the right; I find that images on the left often create unfortunate wrapping problems, leaving a single word or two orphaned below it.
I also upgrade the thumbnail size from 100 pixels to 200, as I find 100 pixels is just too small.
Whatever changes you make, if these are going to be the most common settings for your blog, you can easily make them the default by checking off "Save Settings as This Weblog’s Defaults."
When you’re all done just click on "Insert Image" and let TypePad do the rest.
