Hyperlinking an image in blogger

If you would like to make an image in your post "clickable" - meaning someone could click the image and be directed to a web page - here is how.  First insert the image into the post using this tool.

Then, select the image by clicking on it once and click the Link tool on the toolbar.  When the dialog comes up which looks like this.  You might have to click it twice.

then, copy the URL of the website you want to link to (from the browser address bar) and paste it into the appropriate place in the dialog (where it says "To what URL should this link go?") - or just type in the entire URL in that place (for example: http://www.google.com is a URL).

Save and publish your blog and preview it to see if it works.
