1) Spell checking: As you write your blog post there –is– automatic spell-checking built in. If something appears to be mis-spelled, a little red dotted line will appear under the word.

) Uploading images: When you are writing a blog post, below the “write post” box there is a box that says “upload.” Look for the file you want to upload (from your harddrive). Give it a title. The image will then show up as a thumbnail (a smaller picture). Click on the picture. Click on “send to editor” and it will show up where your cursor last was. You can center it, align it and move it just as you would with any document. You can also re-size the image by clicking on the lower right hand corner of the image and dragging it to the size you desire.

Please be sure ONLY to upload images that you created and/or are in the public domain.

IMPORTANT: When using pictures of people make sure that you have permission to post these images.
