When you embed images into a blog post, Google stores the images in Picasa. Because you have a Google account, you have access to Picasa and can look at the images Google is storing for you.If you have images that you may want to use in multiple blog posts or even in multiple blogs, you can save storage space by uploading them once to Picasa. When you want to embed the image in a blog post, you just go to Picasa, find the image, copy the URL, and provide it to Blogger.
Here are the instructions for uploading an image to Picasa and then inserting it into a blog post.
Before uploading the image, have your blog post sitting in Edit mode. Then, open a separate browser window. Since you are already logged on to Google, just click My Account in the new browser window.

- Now find the image to upload: Under “Select photos to upload” click Browse. Navigate to the image on your computer.

- Back on the Picasa window, click Start Upload. Your new image will appear with the others.
- Now, click on the image, and on the right side, click Link to this Photo.
- If you are given a size selection, click the dropdown box and click the size you want.
- Click in the box next to "Image only (no link)".
- Click inside the "Embed image" box. The text will highlight. Right-click with your mouse and click Copy.
