MOHAMED EL BARADEI

"I've been closely following calls for me to run in the next presidential elections. Though I deeply appreciate people's trust in my abilities, I'd like to make it clear that my final position will be determined upon a number of fundamental issues," ElBaradei said. "Elections must be under the full supervision of the judiciary and in the presence of international observers from the United Nations to ensure transparency."

Working with Posts
  1. Posts are like journal entries. They are time-based and will appear in reverse chronological order on your blog. You can add, delete and modify posts by using the Posts menu.
  2. Posts can contain all sorts of attachments, including images and documents. To incorporate these kinds of documents you can use the “Add media” buttons at the top of the post page. These four buttons (add image, add video, add audio and add media) let you upload files from your computer and incorporate them into your posts.
Now try adding one post that contains a news event with an image. Use the different icons at the top of your Text box screen to add an image.
