How to Add a Photo to Your Blogger Comments

Step 1: Click here to open a new window and login to http://blogger.com/. Use your Google account username and password (the same one you use to leave comments on blogger blogs).



Step 2: Edit your profile. Click the "Edit Profile" button as illustrated below.



Step 3: Scroll down to locate the "Photo URL" area. You will be putting the url to your uploaded photo here.



Step 4: Upload your photo.

• Click here to open a new window for uploading your photo to a free image hosting site. (Assuming you've already got your super cool photo that you want to appear next to all your Blogger comments somewhere on your computer.)


• Click the first "Browse" button to open a new window and locate your file on your computer.


• Once you find it, select it, then click "Open" and you will see the first box fill with text.


• Next, down where it says "Select image content," click on the dropdown to select that it is "safe for work."


• Finally, click the "Send file(s)" button to upload your photo.

Step 5: Highlight and copy your photo URL. Pay close attention here, because for some reason, Blogger won't accept all of the URL's that are given to you by this free image hosting site. So scroll all the way down to the last URL that they give you where it says "Hotlink a clickable thumbnail on any Website or Auction" - SELECT only the code as illustrated in the sample screenshot below and COPY it: (starts with "http://" and ends with ".JPG")
*Note* I had some trouble here with highlighting only a section of that last URL - it kept highlighting all of it - so I had to actually paste it into a text editor like Notepad or Microsoft Word to be able to select and copy only the section of the URL I needed.



Step 6: Paste your photo URL into Blogger and "Save Profile". I wouldn't close any windows just yet (in case the URL you just copied doesn't work for some reason), but now you need to go back to your Blogger window (where you were editing your Blogger profile) and PASTE the URL in here. Once you see it in there as illustrated below, scroll all the way to the bottom of this window and click the orange "Save Profile" button.



Step 7: Marvel at your genius. That's it! You should see a picture next to your Photo URL area. Now every time you make a comment on someone's Blogger blog, your image will show up!
