Is the picture already in your computer or still in your camera? Your camera should have come with uploading instructions and possibly software. Once it's on your computer, or when it's going into your computer save it as some name you can remember i.e. "mysteryyellowdahlia.jpg" etc etc Then open a Photobucket account, or Shutterfly or other online storage. I don't mean to tout Photobucket but it is easy, familiar, and free to a point. Create an album. Under ACCOUNT OPTIONS they give you an option on background colors, photos per page, what to display with each photo etc. Make sure you click YES on DISPLAY URL and DISPLAY TAG. The last item is IMG but I never use it. Use the "Add Pictures" feature one at a time or multiple photos at a time (I find that 5 at a time is most efficient, after that it gets slow.) The Browse button will open up your folder where your photos are stored on the PC. If you don't see the photos in the open listing, use the scroll button to choose another place to look on your computer. Mine generally go to "My Documents," for example. Down below on that same box you can opt to search for just JPEG/BMP/GIF or All files. Scroll thru til you find your photo. Then, just click on "mysteryyellowdahlia.jpg" to highlight it and hit OPEN down below to the right. That closes that box and your mysteryyellow dahlia file shows up next to the "browse" button. Hit Submit and your photo will be vacuumed into Photobucket, or poured magically through cyberspace. It's all magic to me. Once that's done you can use the edit feature to resize 25-50-75% of original. If it's really huge, we are going to have a hard time looking at it, so experiment around starting with 75% working downward. 50% usually is good. You can label it, or write little comments about your photos as well. When it comes time to post here, start your message and leave your cursor flashing where you want to insert the photo. Opening another browser window and going to Photobucket is handy,(you can go back and forth between the two- I JUST LEARNED THIS A COUPLE YEARS AGO OMG!) or you can go there first, LEFT click on the TAG line of the displayed gibberish below your photo to highlight it, RIGHT click and choose COPY with a left click, then get back here to your message and cursor and RIGHT click then hit or left click PASTE. You will have copied and pasted the tag line which should make your photo appear when you preview your GW message. If you move your photo inside photobucket, direct links are broken (don't ask me!) and a posting here previously showing a photo may show up as the dreaded red X. That's when real trouble begins, because we want to see photos! I hope that gives you a starting point. If you don't have the photos inside your computer already I'm not going to be able to help you.

Here are 4 coding examples that you can play with. Have fun, hope this helps!

Photobucket and Tinypic are web hosting sites specifically for photos and videos. They provide the coding for inserting the photos/videos into various other web sites like the KT, blogs, etc. So, no, it's not "stealing bandwidth" from them - it's using them as they intend to be used. If you have a Photobucket account you see plenty of ads when you're in your free albums. If you have a paid-for Photobucket account, it's free of advertisements. You see plenty of ads when you're using Tinypic (see the third screen shot, above), too. Or are you asking if I'm "stealing bandwidth" when I create instructional documents at work? If so, please rest assured that I use no web hosting sites for my screen shots used in my instructional documents. I have a fully licensed copy of FullShot on my computer at work (and I have personally purchased a license for FullShot for my home computer, too, because I sometimes work from home and I use FullShot when I'm doing genealogy research and other stuff). I use FullShot to create the screen shots that I use in my instructional documents, and I simply save them (at home) to an appropriate folder and at work I save them to my space on a network drive. I work for the IT division and am a webmaster for the IT division's Intranet pages. In other words, I'm doing what I am paid to do.

RANSOMWARE IS ONE OF THE WORLD’S FASTEST GROWING TYPES OF MALWARE Unfortunately that's true above. There are 2 other prevention tools out there also. cryptoprevent and, Malwarebytes Anti-Ransomware I use cryptoprevent free. Not the best, but I know what I'm doing and I only use the computer no one else plays with it. How cryptoprevent works: Cryptoprevent puts a group policy restriction on theses files below. The files targeted by ransomware, thus protecting them. I'd would guess that's how others work or similar. This is a small sample from my computer HKLM Group Policy restriction on software: *.doc.exe HKLM Group Policy restriction on software: *:\$Recycle.Bin\*\*\*\*.exe HKLM Group Policy restriction on software: *.rar.exe HKLM Group Policy restriction on software: *.divx.com HKLM Group Policy restriction on software: *.wmv.exe HKLM Group Policy restriction on software: *.jpg.pif HKLM Group Policy restriction on software: %userprofile%\AppData\LocalLow\*.scr HKLM Group Policy restriction on software: *.txt.exe HKLM Group Policy restriction on software: *.png.pif HKLM Group Policy restriction on software: *.jpg.scr HKLM Group Policy restriction on software: *.zip.com HKLM Group Policy restriction on software: *.png.exe HKLM Group Policy restriction on software: *.png.scr HKLM Group Policy restriction on software: %userprofile%\*.scr HKLM Group Policy restriction on software: *.wav.pif HKLM Group Policy restriction on software: *.rtf.exe HKLM Group Policy restriction on software: *.gif.scr HKLM Group Policy restriction on software: *.7z.pif HKLM Group Policy restriction on software: *.doc.pif HKLM Group Policy restriction on software: *:\$Recycle.Bin\*\*\*\*.pif HKLM Group Policy restriction on software: *.rar.com HKLM Group Policy restriction on software: *.wmv.com HKLM Group Policy restriction on software: *.xlsx.exe HKLM Group Policy restriction on software: *:\$Recycle.Bin\*\*.exe HKLM Group Policy restriction on software: *.gif.pif HKLM Group Policy restriction on software: %userprofile%\AppData\LocalLow\*\*.scr HKLM Group Policy restriction on software: *.pptx.exe HKLM Group Policy restriction on software: *.xls.scr HKLM Group Policy restriction on software: %programdata%\*.scr HKLM Group Policy restriction on software: *.rar.scr HKLM Group Policy restriction on software: *.xls.pif HKLM Group Policy restriction on software: *.pub.scr HKLM Group Policy restriction on software: %userprofile%\AppData\LocalLow\*.exe HKLM Group Policy restriction on software: %programdata%\*.exe HKLM Group Policy restriction on software: *.divx.pif 100 more lines I see the infections frequently here's one from the other day. http://www.geekstogo.com/forum/topic/364174-ransomware/ The Malware is easily removed, however there is currently no fix for the encrypted files. So backing up personal files is more important then ever or having an image back up of the drive. I'd consider installing one of them and probably Kaspersky. All in all it comes down to having a good Anti Virus, safe browsing habits, don't open E-Mail attachments etc etc.
