Upload and post pictures to your site
Blockstar makes it easy for you to upload photos and post pictures to your site. With Blockstar, you can add photos to your blogs, web pages, and photo galleries by clicking the add photo button in our editors. Once you have done that, you can hit the publish button which will post photos to your site.
Before you can add photos to your site, you need to make sure they are ready to go online. Below are a few tips to help you:
- Put your pictures in a digital form: Owning a digital camera is the easiest way for you to get your images on the computer, but it is not the only way. If you own a regular camera, you can have your photos developed and burnt onto a CD or you can scan your photos into a digital format using a scanner.
- Optimize your images for the web: Photos are the biggest files in your personal website. Often an entire page of information can load before a single photo does. To avoid this, shrink down the image to a reasonable file size. Anything over 100 kb is way too large for a dial up user, and even anything over 50 kb will take a long time. Use photo editing software to shrink your photo down.
