The "Peedee method" of drag and drop photos

Apart from the five photos you can add in the normal way I have only been able to extra photos into the text of he story if they are hosted online. In my case from my own website.I do have to use Firefox to make it work though. I thought someone experimented with dragging and dropping from Facebook. I am sure others will be along to offer advice. Although not a tidy way of doing things you can add extra photos direct from your computer, suitably resized, by replying in the comment box after you have published your story.

We're back at Tain l'Hermitage on our way home. Free wifi not good down our end so using Cath's precious data allowance on 4g    I will try to explain how I insert photos later and how you can insert a slide show as an alternative. All solutions require an on line photo storage e.g. Flickr and a programme to resize your photos.

Thank you both. I think at present the "untidy" way David suggests might be our best bet, as we're troglodytes who don't use online storage. Quite happy resizing photos, though, with "Gimp" GNU.

Here's an example of a simple drag and drop from Flickr: our son's cat who has been lodging with us for a while!

 

I have just taken my old dell n5010 apart and fitted a SSD in place of the HDD. I've also installed windows 10. I'm about to drag a photo from flckr to here to see if it still works....

with Firefox you can drag and drop from other places too!

"with Firefox you can drag and drop from other places too!"

chasncath - Just curious.  Is this possible only with Firefox because the photos have already been re-sized on the club's website or does Firefox have inbuilt re-sizing and therefore would it would it be possible to bring in photos from other websites ?

I resize our photos to 600 pixels wide, using 'easy thumbs' or 'paint' on windows, before uploading them to Flickr. However, using the download button on Flickr it allows you to choose a size. You don't actually download the photo, just click on the downloadable image and drag it into your open ct page. Firefox is the only browser that I've managed to do this with. David K reckons that CT also uses Firefox and there may be some connection.
