When you want to blog about a book you've read recently, how do you post a picture of the book? I don't find Blogspot's "help" very helpful in figuring this out. I've not idea how to post a picture of anything other than something from my camera.
The following might be insanity, but this is how I've always done it.
1. open another window
2. do a google image search to find a nice, big, clear image of the cover (watch out for Amazon's, 'cause they often have that weird arrow overlaid on the cover)
3. copy the url to your clipboard
4. go back to your blog post, and click on the little photo thingie in the toolbar at the top
5. paste the image url in the little blank space
6. choose an image size ('medium' almost always works)
7. push the right buttons, and sit back and admire your work. I can't wait to read your review!
just do a search for the image not on web. then click on an image then it gives you the chance to view image full size. then save as.... i usually save to my desktop then use the image import thing from my blog entry. does that help?

But if I do this, won't it then copy the picture and all the text as well--the whole page? Or do I try and find a pic of the book only?
