I ♥ Faces - Best Face Photo

This will actually be an informative post as well as my entry for the I ❤ Faces Challenge. I am asked frequently about how I make my photos larger in Blogger and I will tell you today.

All Blogger Blogs have a Picasa Account where the photos you upload are stored. If you click on this link, you will arrive there.

After you are there, just go in as if you are going into your blog and you will find your pictures. Kind of weird, huh?

Now to add photos, just click on an album or create a new one. Click "add photos" along the top and it will prompt you to search your computer for you photos. Just add them here.

Once they are uploaded, click on one of the photos.

On the right, click on "Link to this Photo"

I always check the box "Hide Album Link" (I don't really know why, I just always have)

Click on the scroll down menu "Select Size" and choose "Large 800 px"

Copy the Embed Image Link and paste it into your blog post.

It's a lot of instructions, but it makes for large beautiful pictures and gets easier after a few times. I promise.

Here is a photo of my sweet little man taken on 1/9/10. He was obviously concentrating on something other than me taking a very close picture of his angel face. I was so excited to get his hair cut that I only now realized that he got quite the amateur's butch job on the side burns. Oh well.... what do I expect for $8?

To see more faces, head on over to I ❤ Faces and check it out!

  9. I think that is a beautiful photo of your son! I love the colors and clarity. Also, thanks for the little tutorial. I have started using Flickr because I could never figure out how to get my photos bigger.

  14. I love your picture of your sweet baby. The first time I took Kaishon to get his haircut it was by a white lady and she had NO idea how to cut black hair. It was so terrible. she ended up shaving his head completely bald. Too bad I didn't have a blog then!

  17. Beautiful photo - what a cutie! I use Windows Live Writer (which is free to download) to post my blogs and you can make your pics whatever size you want and do some cool things...makes posting lots easier than when I just did it on blogspot. Anyway, that's another way of doing it. Great job!
