The Faster Way to Edit Page Images in your Blog

If you are like me, you are always searching for ways to do your work faster and more organized.

This is for blog Pages only, not Posts. This can also only work when you have setup your blog on your own server where you have access to your folders and files.

There are many HTML editors available today for free. However, I have been using Dream Weaver for years so that is what I use.

Most online blog editors have been refined to limit the functions available to do your editing. Not a bad thing, it helps keep things nice looking and uniform. However, like with WordPress pages, there is no table tool, which in most cases is fine but not if you what to organize some images and test like in a product order list.

For this I use my local computer editor (Dream Weaver) and make a new page, removing all the default html from the code first. Then just do your work in the editor and copy and paste the code into your blog page html code area.

Images

The really nice thing to doing your page editing local is for your images.  (Please note that I am talking about Pages, not Posts. Run your posts as intended online. Inserting your images left or right justified is best using the online editors.)

When you setup a local editor you want to setup your FTP client (Recommend FileZilla – Free) so you have direct access to your online server. Make a folder, local and online called “images” where you can hold your images files.

If you use the long file path in your src= code, your images should show up in your editor, not important, just nice to see what you are doing.

The reason this is a nice way to work on your pages is that it allows you to quickly modify an image locally, upload it from the local editor and the changes will show up on your blog. Again, if you ever want to change your images or modify your images you do not have to download (drag and drop), make changes, then upload the image again using your blogs combersom image tools.

The other benefit is that if you have more than one site or blog, they can share the image source. Be careful, and change to the image will show that change on all sites that share that image from the same server.

You do not have to store or access your images frm the same server your blog is on. Put your images that are going to be shared on one main server location – make it your main web site or blog that you do not plan on ever removing.
