Strategic use of images can make your blog posts more memorable. Use a photo in each of your blog posts to enhance them. Here are some guidlines for you to keep in mind when using images:

Save the result and insert to your post by selecting the "Add Image" button at the top of your post window and browsing to the location of the file.
