Adding Images and Videos to Your Blog

 Add Images and Videos to Your Blog

    Making Blogs filled with writing may be efficient, however in all honesty it is bland. In the new age of media people want more than just words and writing. Images or videos go a long way in order to keep things interesting and fresh to the viewer. This guide will show you how to insert images, videos, and the laws that are present when inserting them.
    In order to insert images, you must understand the law and content policy that follows. Content that someone else created is not allowed unless consent is given. This goes for videos and images. Copyrighted media is also not allowed unless consent is given. Content that violates the Blogger content policy is again not allowed. If you want to learn more about Blogger's Content Policy, click on the link.
    With that out of the way, images can be added to a blog by clicking on either "new post" or selecting an older post you may want to edit. On the top task bar, click the "insert image" icon. Chose where the image is being uploaded from, such as your computer or google photos, click insert, and an image should appear on your post. To change the size, add a caption, or add an alt text, click on the image to reveal these options.

        In order to  add a video to your blog, it's a similar process. You can either upload your own video from your device, or you can insert a video from YouTube. Again, chose your media source and click "insert" and it should appear on your blog. The neat feature Blogger has with videos and pictures is that you're able to manage them from the comfort of the home menu. Go to settings and scroll under "Manage Blog", and you will see two options- "Media form your blog" and "Videos from your blog". Choose whichever you want to adjust and follow the prompts.
