I tried it on the actual blog, and also in the Compose tab when editing a post. Neither one would let me "open in a new tab". Any ideas?!

If you look at the pathname for the image, you'll see something that reads "/s1600" or "/s512" or "/s400" or something along that line. If you remove that part of the pathname and then change the width or height to the dimension you want, then remove the other dimension (so your aspect ratio doesn't get hosed) the rest of the path will work just fine. So for example this URL:<br />http://lh6.ggpht.com/_7ZwNk_Y7Ml8/Su3FT3u5_oI/AAAAAAAA2o0/FkIYY1Fi2XY<b>/s512</b>/beaufort_112000-01-18.jpg becomes this one:<br />http://lh6.ggpht.com/_7ZwNk_Y7Ml8/Su3FT3u5_oI/AAAAAAAA2o0/FkIYY1Fi2XY/beaufort_112000-01-18.jpg<br /><br />Then tune your dimensions the way you want them and you're done. Normally I would specify the height on a vertical image like this one or the width on a horizontal image, then simply remove the width="<i>size</i>" in the former case or the height="<i>size</i>" in the latter. But it really doesn't matter which you delete as long as you delete <i>one</i> of them.<br /><br />You <i>could</i> figure out the aspect ratio and change the other dimension if you wanted to, but it's a lot of needless work since the browser will render it with the correct aspect ratio from one dimension.<br /><br />One other tip (that you may have already discussed in another post). If you're displaying an image at less than full size (like your 1000px-image-displayed-at-600px example) you may have noticed that Blogger automatically creates a link to the image that you can click to see the original image (at the original size). If you want that image to open in a new window/tab (which I do) it's a simple matter to add the code to do it. When you look at the code for the image, you'll see something that looks like this:<br /><a onblur="<i>some alpha-geek stuff</i>" href="<i>your image URL</i>" ... ><br />First, you want to make sure that the URL inside the quotes of the "href=..." property matches the one you specified in the <img... tag. Otherwise, when you click to enlarge, you'll actually be viewing a <i>smaller</i> image than what's displayed. (This is true whether you open the image in a new window or the current one.)<br />Second, the property (or "attribute" as it's properly called) you want to add to the link is: <b>target="_blank"</b>. The target" attribute tells the browser where you want the image displayed. In this case you're telling it to open it in a "blank" (new) window. this way if your visitor closes the window or tab using the "X" button, s/he will be returned to your page rather than being set adrift in cyberspace. It's also worth noting that this applies to <i>any</i> link, not just images. So if you want to link to another post or web page from your post, you can have it open in a new window/tab so that when the user is done reading the linked-to article they come right back to you.<br /><br />Good on ya for sharing. I've tried passing this kind of thing along, but apparently my geek-speak accent is a bit too thick for most people. (Because they tend to run screaming when I try to explain these things.)Mojohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03498213932233245032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3204235978624182047.post-41256870791428354562009-11-30T22:43:34.868-06:002009-11-30T22:43:34.868-06:00i have been using a different method and just goin...i have been using a different method and just going straight to the edit html tab. but this is just as easy and makes them much bigger. i love it! thank you so much!Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00623579473478829507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3204235978624182047.post-44828450666325395352009-09-24T10:00:14.714-05:002009-09-24T10:00:14.714-05:00.. thankyou so so so much for sharing this!

I started using Microsoft's free Live Writer program for posting to my Typepad account successfully (I can't believe how great it is to use!!). My blogger account though I wasn't quite as successful since I couldn't get my pictures to upload. I found someone else online who commented that if I installed picasa that it would work. So, I installed Picasa (I don't have to use it to make this part work) all I have to do is insert my pictures to whatever size I want. I usually go into Pictures and copy the ones that I want to have into my blog post and then just choose paste and it dumps all the pictures I want. Then I found a default setting and it turns all my pictures into the size that I like (as wide as my posts can be in my blog) and then it even watermarks it too. There are a lot of other features, but it is near bizarre how much Live Writer has streamlined my blogging! Check out my blogger blog to see how the pics using Live Writer. http://inhotpursuitofcolor.blogspot.com/ I did think it was weird that all I needed to install on my computer was Picasa and not use it, but with how quickly blogging has become and I don't have to wait for the pictures to upload anywhere, I just can't complain! Hope this helps someone!Aprilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06629663681314960381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3204235978624182047.post-76561086247758888432009-08-17T07:19:04.772-05:002009-08-17T07:19:04.772-05:00Thanks for posting this - right now I just use pho...Thanks for posting this - right now I just use photobucket - but I've often worried about what if I get to the point of too much bandwith?? so I should start using this method.TidyMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03140887443718894389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3204235978624182047.post-69937283057064500792009-08-17T06:47:44.587-05:002009-08-17T06:47:44.587-05:00Thank you thank you!
