  How do I add music, pictures from the Internet or YouTube to my blog? Also, my responses are all dated Feb 23 and 4 hours ahead. Confused.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  To add an image from the internet:

  This method will not necessarily upload the document/file to your blog’s Media Library. Files from specific sites like Blogger will be uploaded to your Media Library and your image link will be updated.

  If the file is hosted elsewhere and does not get automatically uploaded to your Media Library, the image will no longer work on your blog if it gets deleted from that site.

  **It’s a really good idea to download the image to your computer and then upload it; I, personally, have lost a few good images because they were hosted on a website that eventually deleted the image. Just a thought!

  Place your cursor where you would like the image to appear, and click on the Add Media icon found directly above your editor.

  Click on Insert from URL.

  You will be given the option to edit the image settings before inserting the image into the post/page. To learn more about these settings, visit our page on Image Settings.

  When finished choosing your image settings, click on the Insert into post button.

  Embedding with a URL from YouTube

  To quickly embed a YouTube video, simply copy the video’s URL from your web browser’s address bar while viewing the video

  Paste it on a line by itself in your Visual editor as you draft your post or page (make sure that it is not hyperlinked).

  We take care of the rest! You will see the video when you preview or publish your post (or page).

  If you want to see the above tutorial with pictures, please click here.

  I hope that helps!

  Also, I’m not sure what’s up with the responses; my blog is having the same issue. Anyone know what’s up with the future-dating of the entries and responses?
