One of the many advantages of using a blog is that you won’t need to upload html web pages whenever you want to add something to your site.

Note: Never add an image to your blog that is copyright protected unless you have explicit written permission, as this is copyright infringement and is illegal.

If there is an image that you want your visitors to see that you don’t have rights to then simply link to where the image is and let people go visit it on the site that does have permission to use it.
