Hello Everyone!
For those of you itching to post your graphs from "R" onto your blogs, here are the steps I took to do it (Be aware that there may be a more efficient way, but this is what has worked so far for me):
1) Create your graph in "R"
2) Right click the graph and select "copy as bitmap"
3) In the "Start" menu, select "Programs" and then "Accessories". Click on the "Paint" program.
4) In Paint, click on the "select" tool. It will look like a box made out of dotted lines (probably in the upper left hand corner of the sceen).
5) Right click in the center of the blank part of the screen and click paste.
At this point, your graph should appear on the screen. You can use the text and drawing tools in Paint to add more detail or explaination to your figures.
6) Save the file as a bitmap on your computer.
7) Sign in to your blog.
8) Click "View Blog"
9) In the top right corner, click on "Customize" (the location of this may vary depending on what layout you selected for your blog)
10) On the new page, click "Add a Page Element"
11) You will have several options to choose from. Select the "Add to Blog" option under the space designated to adding pictures.
12) Browse your files to find your graph the same way you would add an attachment to an e-mail. You also have the option of adding a title and comment on the picture.
13) Click "save" and "preview".
Voila! Your graph should be posted! :)

Cool - thanks for the info!
I like the cat/fish picture. I know the feeling - it sums up life as a grad student pretty well sometimes, doesn't it? Hang in there!

Awesome. How great are you?! I have been having problems converting things to and from R so this will be super helpful. By the way, nice job with class on Tuesday!
Another way to do it, if you want to add a graph to a specific post, is the little "add image" button (second from the right) when you are creating a post. But on the other hand, if you want to have your graph show up on your main page then the way that you describe would definitely work better.
