| carolssis, back in November, Anjabee posted info on posting pictures. It was in Tole and Decorative Painting and I tried it. It was so easy to do. I usually scan pictures because I haven't figured out how to hook up my new digital camera but her instructions were great. Here is what I was able to copy: Hi everyone. Lets put some instructions on here to help other people post their pics. I just learned how myself so if I leave anything out or if there is a better way, please help!
I think you do have to put your pictures into a photo uploading site. I use www.photobucket.com and it's really easy to use and it's free. (If you know other free sites please put them up.) So get on over there right now and get signed up!! You just have to have a user name and password. After you get signed up there will be a place there that says UPLOAD IMAGES AND VIDEOS. Hit the BROWSE button and it will open up the files on your computer. If you know which file you keep your pictures in, go to it. If you don't then get up and go ask someone!! :) Double click on the picture you want to upload and it should show up in the box on photobucket(PB). It will say DESCRIBE IT so you just click there and write a description of the pic if you want to. Underneath that you will see UPLOADING OPTIONS. Click on that and it will help you resize your pictures so they won't be humongous. I do the message board size. Then you just hit UPLOAD IT and your picture should be loaded on. (You can do more than one photo at a time if you hit ADD MORE IMAGES that is right under the BROWSE. It will open up about six of those and you fill them all up with your pics and then hit UPLOAD EM.) Ok, now that you have uploaded your pics to a site here's what we do. I like to have 2 windows open while I'm doing the pictures. So go up to your toolbar at the top of your computer screen and hit FILE then NEW then WINDOW. Click on the tab for your new window down at the bottom of your screen and go to your picture uploading site. (ex:www.photobucket.com)
To post pics on the gallery side: You go down and write in your message to post like you want it. To insert a picture you type in this... < img src="
(but only put a space in between img and src. When I type it right it won't let it show here for some reason) Now you want to go over to your photobucket page and you will see below the picture you want to post 3 things.... URL,TAG,and Img. You want to hilite the URL (it will start with http), then right click it and bring up the box where you can copy it. Hit COPY and then go back to your gallery message and right click where you left off typing the code and hit PASTE. So then it will look like this:
< img src="http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e95/ANJABEE/bee.jpg Last step is to type "> at the end (right after jpg above). Remember there should only be a space between img and src. Now hit PREVIEW MESSAGE and your picture should be in there with your message! I hope it worked!! I can't wait to see all the pics! You can post more than one pic in your message by doing the same thing in your message with different pics.
And don't forget to ask questions if it didn't work! And of course if anyone has a easier better way please post it! Or if you can give instruction using something besides photobucket.
