how to perfectly enlarge uploaded pictures on blogspot

I just found this cool workaround to posting bigger pictures on your blogspot without uploading them first on other image-hosting websites like.. shit forgot their sites -did remember that one with frogs..

anyways, this has been bugging me for quite sometimes before I actually find this loophole, though admittedly will require you to do the work twice -but uploading to image hosting websites and link your post to the image you've uploaded is no fun either, some of these sites periodically crashed when you need them to work, which in order to work okay, they will need to do some maintenance which basically erasing images they don't think is good or some shorts -fyi I made this assumption myself :p.

enough talk and let's go on with the how-tos.

basically, to have your photo published on your blog, you would have to do the usual thing. you make a new post, press add-image, browse an image, chose setting (center, fixed or left/right, float) you also chose the size of the image (small, medium, large). but more often than not, your supposedly large image only turned out too small on the screen, which is suck.

(this is what I'm talking about)

and when you try to enlarge them, by editing the html code, you got yourself the size you want, but of blurified lesser quality, and sometimes jiggy, boxy, pixelated dipshit images, which is -for lack of a better word- suck.

(see my point? blogger had done improvements on layout, but things used to be worse..)

and weird, because when you actually uploaded an image from the web, or add url, the outcoming image looks exactly like it's supposed to be, with the perfect size -sometimes even too large, which is okay- and the perfect dpi's -proven by the correct resolutions.

that's the key right there..




so it's actually very simple.. when you uploaded an image, the small image coming out on your blog we're talking about before, blogspot has already saved the correct image by size and resolution somewhere in their cloud -or something like that.

so all you've got to do is open that image on another page, by right-clicking the down-sized image on your blog and chose 'open link in new tab', and copy the url. this is the tricky bit, sometimes the displayed url on the address bar is not similar with the exact url blogspot can use, the work around for this is to right click the already enlarged image on another tab, and choose "copy image url".

then edit your post, erase your image html and upload another image. but this time, chose 'add picture from url/web' instead, paste your link on the url slot, chose properties (center, large), and press upload..

(this is it! as usual I'm using a pict of my Kaezee because the purpose of this post is to make him famous :D)

and problem is solved -see the quality increase on the enlarged image even when the size is the same at 800x600?-, you would see that when you hover your mouse on all images, they all leading to one url source. the best part about this is that as long as your blog is running, your image will remain available for access..

I hope this works for you as this works like charm for me, and if you've known about this shit long before I did.. dude.. you could have been a saint you know?!
