eazy picture posting
Posted by dwbeckett on Wednesday, March 21, 2007 11:07 AM

This works for me.

1. Post your pictures on a FREE site, I use SHUTTERFLY.COM

2. Select picture RIGHT CLICK, SELECT PROPERTIES, HI-LIGHT URL

3. RIGHT CLICK, SELECT COPY, EXIT

4. CREATE NEW POST, ADD TEXT, SELECT ENTER KEY

5. THIS IS THE HARD PART , SELECT IMAGES ABOVE (THE TREE) DELETE HTTP//, THEN RIGHT CLICK AND SELECT PASTE this will copy the URL of your picture. SELECT INSERT

6. SELECT PREVIEW/POST BELOW

The only drawback is you can only add one picture at a time, so if more are desired

7.  REPEAT STEPS 1/2/3 open your post, select edit, ADD ANY NEW TEXT,SELECT ENTER KEY

8. REPEAT STEP 5/6

THIS IS NOT AS HARD AS IT LOOKS

I use photobucket. They make it even easier for you. They provide the url code with images tags attached for you already. Here is my album - http://s113.photobucket.com/albums/n214/altterrain/ .  Just click on where its says IMG code under your pic and its automatically copied to your computer's clipboard. You then just have to paste it into your posting here. Photobucket will also resize your pics as you upload them. Sign up here - http://photobucket.com/register.php?link=topmenu .

We tried that, but this forum doesn't allow us to copy and paste, for some odd reason.....  :(

I have done all my postings this way and this one just worked fine. Maybe its a browser or firewall problem.

Nice layout, Devils. I have to say i'm a bit envious of that "golf course" lawn. My hardpan, rocky, red clay soil and mid summer droughts will never allow me to have a lawn like that.

Works for me as well Dave, certainly is a good system for posting pics. Even Ian managed it way back in January.

Cheers,

Kim
