I FTP the images.

[Thanks to Donato for basis of this.]

In your blog insert the XHTML for an image:

  <img src="http://your url/your sub-directory/image_name.image_extension"
  alt="Some description" target="_new" border="0" width="??" height="??" />

[Donato: did you use FTP to upload the image? Did you put it straight
into the archives dir?]

Few points: note the /> at the end - this is XHTML which MT uses. If you
know the width/height it's a good idea to put them in to help the page
render more quickly (once the image is online, in Mozilla you can right-
click an image, get its properties and see the W/H). The alt attribute
is _strongly_ recommended for accessibility, phone browsers, etc.

IMPORTANT: File names AND extensions must be in the same case as the
files. (Unix is case-sensitive.)

To get image on side bar insert the same code in the "Main Index
template", below code that says <div id="links">

HTH,
Paul
