Upload an image to iMechanica. If you have an image of an intriguing mechanical phenomenon, or of a distinguished mechanician, you can upload the image to iMechanica by the following steps:

Click image.
Enter a title, add tags, and enter a body of text.
Browse the image.
Go to the bottom to click "Submit".

The uploaded image behaves like a post:

You can use the search box to locate the image. Text and tags are optional, but they will help people search for the image.
You can also locate your post by clicking recent posts in the header of iMechanica, and then click the tab "my recent posts".

Insert an image to a blog post.

Open two windows in your browser. One window displays the web page that contains the desired image, and the other window displays the posting window of iMechanica.
Point the cursor to the image and drag it to the desired location in your blog post.

Make the text of the post wrap around the image.

Click the image in your post. A frame will appear around the image.
In the toolbar in the section labeled "body". click the button that looks like a tree. A small window titled "insert/edit image"pops up.
Within the "insert/edit image" window there is a drop-down list called “alignment”. Select one option for your image. Then click “update” in the bottom-left corner.
