Of course, if you want to include images in your posting that’s another challenge. You can insert an image into your Word document the usual way (Click the Insert tab: click Picture: find the image: click Insert). Unfortunately, there is one difficulty. In order for the blog to display the image, the image has to be located on a web server somewhere. You can use an external service like Flickr, or you can upload the image the usual blog way, then go to Word and make a post (too redundant and non-sensible), or you can use a combination of your zoo space with a little help from webdav. Here’s how:\n<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. First, make a folder in your zoo space to store the pictures. Use Secure Shell File Transfer (sFTP) to connect to Zoo<\/a>. Then navigate to your public_html folder and make a new folder inside it named blog-images (or any name of your choosing, remembering that all lower case and no spaces in the name works best). Close sFTP.\n<\/li>\n
  2. Open Word and begin a New Blog Post. In the Blog Post window, go back to Manage Accounts. Click on your account and click on “Change”\n<\/li>\n
  3. In the dialog box, click on “Picture Options” then type in these settings:
    Upload URL:<\/strong> https:\/\/webdav.uvm.edu\/~UVMNetID\/blog-images (note the s in https, and the webdav, and replace ‘UVMNetID’ with your actual your UVM netid)\n

    Source URL:<\/strong> http:\/\/www.uvm.edu\/~UVMNetID\/blog-images (no s in http, www, and replace ‘UVMNetID’ with your actual your UVM netid)\n<\/li>\n

  4. \n
    Click OK, OK, OK, Close, etc. Now insert a picture in your document the usual Word way and Publish it. It should upload the picture to your blog-images folder. It will give the picture an unusual and ugly name. If you edit and re-Publish the post it will add the picture to your blog-images folder again with a different name (stupid!) but it will work! Here’s the proof:\n<\/div>\n

    Here’s another method:
    \n<\/h3>\n

    \n\u00a0<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Create a folder in your zoo space named blog-images(as described above) and use sFTP to move your images into that folder before creating a post\n<\/li>\n
    2. Use the Windows drive mapping feature to map a drive to that blog-images folder\n<\/li>\n
    3. Open Word, choose New: Blog posting, and when you want to insert an image look for it through that drive.\n<\/li>\n
    4. \n
      Watch out! This method sounds reasonable\u2014the images will retain the original name you gave them\u2014however you will still have to move your images into that folder in a way that sets the permissions to be publically accessible via the web. Saving them to a mapped drive does not do this gracefully.\n<\/div>\n
