  Sorry to bother you with this one. I looked in support and did a search in the forums for it.
  I have an image with some text that I wish to insert into a post at our site.
  I could insert the image at a smaller size, but to read the text, the image would need to be larger.
  So, I just wish to insert text saying this is the image and if you press on this, it will open at full size in a second window, and then you can read it at full size and then navigate back to the main post’s text.
  Can I do this and if so, how?
  Or, should I just insert a smaller copy of the image with details to open in a new window, and how can I do this if it is the case?
  Tony.

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

  You upload the image, click File URL, insert it, then click on the image (in the visual editor), click on the edit button (mountain icon), click “Advanced Settings”, scroll down to “Target”, tick “Open link in a new window”, click Update, click Update Post.

  Or, you upload the image, click File URL, insert it, then in the html editor add this to the image code (after href… etc… jpg, with a space before it):

  target=”_blank”

  And please paste the exact URL of your blog when asking questions here, or link your nickname to your blog (as explained in the Sticky 8 Things to Know Before Posting). We usually need that to give a relevant answer.
