Testing For Pics

The Gods of WoW have nothing to do with adding pics to enhance the posts that get published. That job goes to the writer who writes the blog and provides the pics.

Part of the problem is that there are literally thousands of pics to choose from and many are scattered over many places. There needs to be one place where captured pics can be stored as well as a method to copy or move the pic to this blog. That's the challenge. To date there have been some successes, though they could not be replicated.Testing is required.

Test # 0 - Pictures Library. This library is in two locations: My Pictures and Public Pictures. The default is My Pictures. No changes are being made to either location for the moment.

Test #1 - Local Disk E: Warcraftpics - this is a folder on the E: drive that has some warcraft pics on it. Can those pics be copied/moved to the Blog?

First, I have to click on the Insert Image tab. What I get is the entire list of every pic in that warcraftpics folder. Wa-la! No, not really. There are thousands of pics in there in no usable method to search for the right pics. Several attempts to define a way to tell has failed before.

What is needed is a folder that has only the pics needed. So one question is how to tell "insert image"  to pick the right folder to choose pics.

It appears that there is only two ways, neither of which will work.

Okay, maybe I'm on to something. I went into through the Progam file to Screenshots. I then did a cut and paste of the screenshot. And it worked!

Succsefulpaste to the blog 
Local Disk /programfiles /world of warcraft /retail /screenshots

Now I will try it with a post including a pasted pic.

NOPE - it didn't work.  The screenshot did post, but the pic was too large and was clipped and it wouldn't adjust itself - which it would if it were working right. So SIGH, still trying to figure this thing out.
