I would appreciate instructions for a dummy computer illiterate on how to post photos? Read Bergie's instructions on how to post and don't comprehend nor can I open the link #1 or #2 he illustrates.
Thanks,
Dewey
That's great Dewey !! We all love pictures here !! Do you use a Mac or a regular PC ?
Thanks, John
Do you have a photo posting service such as Photobucket or Shutterfly that you are using now? You need a place to store a photo on the internet, so that we can copy the picture to your CTT posting.
I have used Shutterly for about two years and have been very satisfied. http://www.shutterfly.com/
Other photo posting services work except we have encountered some problems with the HP service in the past.

Ok, that's great !! Now you will need to sign up for your free hosting site, & most of us use Shutterfly ( http://www.shutterfly.com/ , Others like Photobucket will work. Just click on there & sign up, it's all free !! Then you have to download some pictures in the site. You can have a ton of them, still free !!
Now after you get a picture in there, & I'll give you the fast easy method first, You click on the picture while it's still small or forgot name of them when they're small, but it will enlarge when you click on . Then right click with mouse & click COPY !! Then you can close out Shutterfly & go to the box you post n the forum at & right click again & hit Paste !! That's all there is to that method if it works for you. If not, we will show you the IMG method !!
Hope this works Dewey !!

Boy, I hope we don't have to show him the IMG method...what a pain in the
That's great Dewey !! Buckeye & Spankybird helped me & they had lots of patience !! Now I have that Kodak program too, but I can't seem to use it for posting on the forum so you may have to put them in Shutterfly, somehow !!
Thanks ,John & we'll watching for for you if you need us !!

LOL !! That's where we get into some long posts !! Remember Buckeye, we're helping one of the Chiefs neighbors !!
I have the kodak easy share and like the guys said subscribe to photobucket or shutterfly, thats the step I missed for so long. After taking the pics put the camera in the docking station, connect the docking station to your computer then push the oval button on the docking station. This will begin transfering the pics from the camera to your computer. Once this is done, open up your photo service (photobucket or whatever) and go to your albums. Click on the brouse button and find the files that contain your pictures. If you can't find the files, go to your pictures on your computer and right click on one of them and go to properties and copy the filename then paste it to your photo server service, pasting them over. Once they are in your photo server you can paste them right in to your messages.
I just learned a month or so ago, please stick with it. It is a lot of fun to share pictures!

Got Shutterfly I browsed and selected some photos from Kodak Share that had been in the computer for some time along with a bunch of Holiday pictures,etc. All photos that I designated were accepted [100% and all that]. Then when asked I clicked that I did not want to select any more pictures, then as instructed clicked on "NEXT" and everything disappeared.
Thought I had lost the internet connection but had not. Will try the process again tomorrow when my brain is up to par.
Nevertheless thanks for getting me that far
p.s: Ironically the pictures I selected are of my 1992 airborne twin shelf, 5 track railroad, two tracks and long siding at 7'-6" and three at 9'-0" high respectively. Shelf layout is at our 4,000' altitude mountain cottage [where snow will fall tomorrow]. The ironic part is that I started disassembling the layout over New Years. Getting too old and arthritic for stepladder railroading and anyway Wife wants to redecorate her 18' high ceiling kitchen [I have lost my lease].
What is it that women have with redecorating?? Everytime you have everything done that they desire, they start all over again "I'm not too satisfied with the couch in that color" or "I'm bored with the color of the kitchen" and then you can start all over again, finding your wife sitting behind the computer and asking "Do you need some help dear?" (which means: "I'm not going to help you" in women language)
I'm not interested which color the kitchen has, as long as it has water from the tab and a place to cook, I'm satisfied.. Women can make such a fuzz about the color of the grips or the matching curtains, who cares!!
Nope, I think we men need to send our beloved wifes for a week on holiday to india or some other place where redecorating means putting the only bowl in the "kitchen" on another place on the ground.
Anyway, I'm just kidding. I wouldn't want to miss my wife and love her a lot, but I know all too well about the redecorating fever..
