A lot has changed about Blogger since I last wrote out instructions for everyone. Now you can add photos directly into the post you are writing without having to use any other programs.
1) Make sure you have identified and saved the photos you want to publish in a folder (always easiest to rename them so you can grab them easily)
2) Log into FisherCatch at https://www.blogger.com/start
a) Blogger was bought by Google and will ask you to use your Google account. If you do not have a google account you'll need to create one. If you have gmail, you're all set.
3) You will see the Dashboard page and FisherCatch listed. Click the "New Post" link.
4) You will see the blog post template:
a) Fill in your title
5) Add your photos one at a time by:
a) Clicking the pictogram on the little tool bar that looks like a picture. A new window will open with the image upload form.
b) Click the "Browse" button and locate the photo you want
c) Select the layout (none, left, center, right). I usually use center.
d) Select the image size (I use large)
e) Click on "Upload Image"
6) You will be returned to the blog post template and your photo will be inserted. To caption it, click beneath the photo and type whatever you like.
7) To add another photo, click your "Enter" key twice to position your mouse and then repeat steps 5 and 6. Do this as many times as you like.
8) When you are all done, click on "Publish Post". Once the post has been uploaded you'll see a new window asking you to click "Done". You'll get a confirmation message and the option to "View Blog" (easiest to click on "in a new window") and see how it looks. If you need to change anything, just go back to the confirmation page and click on "Edit Post".

Sounds neat. Next time I have some photos to share, I'll try it. I guess this doesn't take the place of publishing an album or album update, though. Does this mean I can get rid of "Hello?"
Yes, you don't need "Hello" anymore. Picasa is still nice for creating collages, though. :-)
Oh and... yes, your albums are created in Typepad, no? So nothi8ng has changed there.
