Vanishing Photos On Blogger Retrieved: Solutions

Problem
I could not load photos from my laptop onto my blogs.

Answers
From This Blog
You can search through previous blogs for photos under from this blog.

More
Click on 'more' and you will see 'from my phone'. You can edit photos on your phone and then access them.

Time Sequence Direction
It's hard to find photos from years or months ago, very time consuming, but photo from yesterday are easier to find. Just aquaint yourself with whether you are scrolling up or down to go backwards in time.

Naming Photos On Your Phone
Do you want to remember the name of somebody you have just met and photographed?
On an LG phone (or similar):
Swipe to unlock phone (or use your fingerprint sign-in on an Apple Mobile phone):

After the number given to the photo, add a space. Then add a name and a place and any other identifying feature, which would help you find the photo and distinguish it from the photos either side of it.

Click on Albums
(If you can't find it - go to camera, take a picture, then click on the miniature fingernail size version of the photo you just took which appears lower right of the screen. This brings up a mosaic of all your photos. Usually the most recent is top right. Push photos up the screen with a thumbprint sliding on a touch-sensitive screen. (Or use an up arrow or whatever is required on laptops and other devices).

If the screen goes blank, press the power button. This is on the LG a small vertical button on the right when the word LG is at the bottom of the screen.

To Edit
Tap on the picture. Up pops a series of five symbols across the top of the screen. The symbol you want looks like a pencil. Tap on it.

Edit Mode
Choose Photos on the left, like a multicolour fan symbol with red, yellow, green and blue diamonds.

Tap on Photos. Up pop four more editing symbols (starting with a plus on the left).

Editing symbols are above the four slightly larger general operation symbols.

General Operating Symbols
These include the arrow taking you back, the circle which takes you to the home screen, the square which shows all the screens which are open and using up your battery (close the ones you don't need.

Editing
The second symbol from the left has three parallel lines above each other. Tap on this and up pops Light, Colour and Pop. Slide the Central light white circle to increase or decrease light or colour.  The pop symbol is the one I find most useful. It does an automatic edit - the colours are brightened so they pop out, and the focus is improved so your blurred photos are less fuzzy.

When you have finished click on done, bottom of screen, then click on save at top or screen.
Favourites
Another way to find things fast is to add a five-point star (tap on the star outline - top left of screen and the middle fills in.) Do this to mark favourite photos you might want to use for more than one post, such as flags for countries.
