Better images in Blogger!
This is how you can improve the quality of your images on Blogger. As you are composing your post, and have uploaded your image(s), click on the HTML tab (arrowed below).
Now you will see the underlying HTML code (below). All of your written words still appear as you have typed them, but the pictures that you have uploaded appear as code. The code contains numbers that are instructions as to how large, and at what resolution, the picture will appear and where it sits on the page. I have highlighted each of the Corn Bunting pictures with a red box. Everything is identical bar one thing - which I have circled in purple - the 's' figure. Blogger will set this at a bog standard 640 or 400. All you need do is alter this to 1600. It's as simple as that. Your images will now appear sharper.

For what it's worth Steve, on my laptop (and phone) both your Corn Bunting photos come out exactly the same when I click on them.
Jono's method works well with his very wide reading pane. The NQS template has a much narrower pane, so photos sized at 640 pixels fit nicely, but when someone clicks on them I want them to display at 1040 (my upload size) and this has been the tricky thing for me to overcome in the new Blogger. Html editing has got round it, exactly as you describe here.
I'm of the same opinion as Gavin - your images were identical on my laptop. If we are forced to change to the new version then, I'm afraid, Of Esox will cease to exist. Very sad that a decade of internet being is being brought to a close due to Google's desire to keep abreast of technological advances, not asking what their customers wish for? - Dyl
Like Jono, I cut a sql code and pasted it into the advanced design feature and now upload my pics at original size. The blogger fixes them at 750 on the post but you can see the full image when clicked. They look quite good to me.
Steve, I looked at both of your Corn Buntings on post and saw no diff, both looked great, When i clicked on the first it blew up in size, then the forward arrow. It did not change at all, so much so that unless I watched my finger I could tell when I flicked between the two. No worries though, both look great.
