Post Larger Images with Blogger

Have you ever wished that you could post larger images via the Blogger: Upload Images window? I found a neat trick from a reader, Miranda.

This requires a blogger template with extra width in the posting section so it will display the larger images.

Upload your image in the post window, Dashboard | Posting | Create | Add Image icon. After doing that, click on the Edit HTML tab and you will see this image code:

<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfD95WXFoBJGXok5hUIQcZdFNzS208heTaWHIIk3WYuNPb5KC33ktW-v9WIbZsu_mNn06GyrMouRrp45I6yL-KVCTaDbSTkEUWGnu2gbjubwDocmeFyC3t58a9zq_hkpsPkjZa12z1pfv4/s1600-h/DSC_2693.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfD95WXFoBJGXok5hUIQcZdFNzS208heTaWHIIk3WYuNPb5KC33ktW-v9WIbZsu_mNn06GyrMouRrp45I6yL-KVCTaDbSTkEUWGnu2gbjubwDocmeFyC3t58a9zq_hkpsPkjZa12z1pfv4/s400/DSC_2693.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5237868380194789154" border="0" /></a>

All you change is the s400 to s800! Then you have a nice large image on your blog.

I'm not sure how legal this is. All I know is that it works.

EDIT: Question was brought up about draft users. I didn't realize the image code was different, but it is. So, if you use Blogger in Draft, here is your instructions. Follow the directions above. You will see this image code:

<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhA0xM0T2ufp5aJb1Qds4Awt07xPmbWWNY_2glvdgwg6BVaw5Opm7BZaGuSd-VRW3kK5oQ9Fhv720kgSl82lV9Xx7FZa0gfuDITsQ3F1kpqv7wDBq7iOT3JwNtEdSt075iLEpCOT9qfS06v/s1600-h/DSC_2689.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_OFh1WWXWCHM/SLDBAvBlhrI/AAAAAAAAB7g/kTUthEX2IYc/s320-R/DSC_2689.JPG" /></a></div>

Change this s320-R to this s800-R. Where there's a will, there's a way!

EDIT 09/08/08: Thanks to The A of DNA for: If you don't want it as large as s800 replace it with s576!
