How can I post more than 1 picture on a single yahoo360 blog?
I've seen quite a number of yahoo360 members pasting more than one picture(some can put as much as 10 or more!). It really makes a difference and can add life to your blogs. I've read those who use microsoft outlook or photoshop, etc. Could you share to me a quick and easy way to do it? The simpler the procedure, the better. Thanks in advance for the reply 
You have to use HTML coding to do it....first type something into your blog entry box...like a sentence describing the pictures you're going to be posting in there....then checkmark the box at the bottom of the entry box that says VIEW HTML SOURCE....then follow these instructions:
Anywhere you want a picture, use this code:
If your image did not appear, troubleshoot it below
--If the image is on your computer, you must first upload it to a website, a universal host. I use Photobucket.com, but there is also Flickr.com and I have heard that there is a Snapfish.com too I think. They are all free .
The reason for this is that if you link a picture from your computer, for example C:mypic.jpg,
Anyone else who goes to the page; their computer will look for C:mypic.jpg
and because their computer does not have said file, it will not show up. If you upload it to a universal host, it will read "http://mypic.jpg" and since both computers have access to it, they can both view it now.
--if your image ends in html, it's wrong. You're linking the PAGE it's on, not the image. Right click the picture, and click properties. then copy the url and use that.
--if you have not defined height and width, take it out. otherwise they will have neither. And if it's 0 high and 0 wide, you wont see it.
DONT FORGET TO PUT THE HEIGHT AND WIDTH IN BETWEEN THOSE QUOTATION MARKS UP THERE !!! AND YOU WILL HAVE TO SWITCH THEM AROUND OR YOUR PICTURE WILL COME OUT SHORT AND SQUATTY! SO WHEN YOU RIGHT CLICK ON THE PICTURE YOU'RE WANTING AND THEN CHOOSE "PROPERTIES"...DOWN WHERE IT SAYS THE HEIGHT AND WIDTH...SWITCH THEM AROUND BEFORE PUTTING THEM IN THE CODE. FOR EXAMPLE: IF IT SAYS IN THE PROPERTIES OF YOUR PICTURE THAT IT IS 162 x 227...............BEFORE PUTTING IT IN THE CODE ABOVE...CHANGE IT TO 227 x 162 AND YOUR PICTURE WILL COME OUT RIGHT!
Good luck and have fun.

Microsoft's Bing Versus Google
Microsoft will launch its newest search engine offering, Bing, soon. Rather than just another search engine that dishes out results based on popularity as was its previous two attempts with Live Search and MSN Search, Bing is being reformatted as a 'decision engine'.
It aims to clean up the smorgasbord of results thrown at users when searching for a solution on the Web to allow users to make decisions to their not-so-simple questions like 'Where to go for dinner?'
Since drawing excitement as 'Kumo' with some of its features revealed on the Microsoft blog in March, Microsoft has since renamed their new search engine Bing. "The name is short, it's easy to say, it works globally," quipped Microsoft CEO, Steve Ballmer.
Bing might find it an insurmountable battle with search engine giant Google though. According to research group comScore Inc, based on the US search queries in April, 65% of searches were ran on Google, with Yahoo coming up a distant second with 20.4% and Microsoft managing a disappointing 8.2%.
Acknowledging the tough competition, Microsoft hasn't set its sights on beating the giant. Instead, Mike Nichols, a general manager in the search department said: "We want to capture a unique position in consumers' minds. They need to know why is it that they should use this product."
While chances are Microsoft will not get a bite of the Google pie share, Bing might just succeed at attracting some of Yahoo's users. It aims to do so with a set of features that makes it stand out against its competitors.
Unlike Google, related search results are placed in a left column instead of at the bottom of the page, together with a bar of links running down the left side of the search results page that aim to help organise results. It also keeps track of recent searches and enables users to email links from that search history or share them on Facebook.
Instead of being directed to another site based on the search results, users looking to shop or check airfares online will find the information they need on the Bing result page itself. A search on airfare will bring up results from Farecast which features the Price Predictor that charts the best time to buy an air ticket so as to get you the biggest savings. Bing makes shopping a convenient experience by bringing together price comparisons, images and reviews, not unlike Amazon.com. What's more, it claims to get consumers cash backs from hundreds of online retailers.
Bing also reassures the user looking for medical information online by providing results from the top credible medical sources in the world which you can trust. It also refines the results on local searches and allows you to filter your results so you get what you want instead of having to sift through everything a search engine would usually throw at you.
Although the search engine market is already saturated with big players like Google and Yahoo and country-specific search engines favourable with the locals, it remains to be seen if Microsoft Bing's fresh offerings have the ability to pave its way up the charts to bring it face to face with Google.
