GIMP saves files as XCF by default.
Image for online upload needs to be EXPORTED to correct format file.
Use either default export PNG image file format or select other file format {Export As}.
Blogger takes both JPEG / JPG and the GIMP export default PNG file format.
SCREENSHOT EDIT - TAKE 1
Barely managed to crop image. Hoped to do the job intuitively, by-passing instructions searching.
Initially, couldn't save in correct format for web upload. Wasn't aware of need to export file in a format acceptable for web uploads (PC World site below was a huge help).
Need to spend more time playing with the GIMP image editor, as I don't know how to use it yet.
Tend to rely quite a bit on online editing tools, so it should be a challenge not to jump online once I have a format I can upload elsewhere.
