Update 6/20/08: This blog post is now obsolete because of the changes in the new photo system. I'll try to get back to this and revise it but, for now, please don't try to do what I've described below!

Eons makes it easy to include a single photo in your blog post. Sometimes, however, one is not enough. Here are a few "secret" hints that will help you create blog posts with lots of photos.

My favorite technique is to upload the photos to Eons (to my profile) and use the "embed" code. Here's a hidden, unknown (?) trick: Eons stores several other versions of your uploaded photos at several resolutions - some square-cropped and some using the original aspect ratio. Check out the photos on your profile page. These are 150x150. Just before the ".jpeg" suffix in the photo's URL, you'll see either "_o" (original) or "_150x150" (150x150). (Other square resolutions are available: 50x50, 75x75, 100x100.) The other type of format (the one that preserves the original aspect ratio) is "_100w" So, if you're feeling adventurous, edit the embed code to use a smaller version of the photo. Then, if you're *really* clever, you can use the classes we use to float images left or right. In the example above, I'm using the "_100w" version of the image, with the class "support".

Be advised, however, that this is dangerous stuff unless you know what you're doing. Images that are too large and/or floated images can sometimes break page layouts. It's relatively safe to use these techniques in your blog, where you can easily edit the post if something goes wrong.
