| First step in posting pictures here is to upload your photos to an online photo hosting site. Several are available such as "Webshots", "Yahoo Photos", "Photobucket" etc. Once your pics are uploaded you have a couple options. Option 1 is to link to the website that contains your photos. When you are viewing your photosite, it’s specific address will show in the address bar at the top of your browser. Left click on this address and it will turn blue. Then Right click on the address and select "COPY" from the dropdown. Now, you can go to the Garden Web site, pull up the "New Post" or "Reply" window, which ever is appropriate. Position the cursor in the box that says "Optional Link URL". Then Right click and select "PASTE". This inserts the link to your pics. Then drop down to the "Name of link" box and give it a descriptive name of your choice. You then can type your message or description in the message box. Option 2 is to embed a picture directly in your message. Note: some photo sites will NOT allow photos to be embedded here. Webshots is one that won't work. Photobucket works very well. There is a test forum at the bottom of the forum page. You can try out stuff there. Good luck. |
