First things first - testing a picture! It would be too tedious to upload pictures to the blog and keep asking you to click through my blog posts, so I want to learn how to post pictures here, and not just find out how to, but also find the most efficient way to upload from the iPhone.
Here's my first attempt: I downloaded the Photobucket app, uploaded a picture, then logged onto here on a laptop to paste the picture on this post.
