A experiment in photobucket...
Posted by Anonymous on Saturday, January 29, 2005 12:23 AM
I have selected Photo Bucket to host my images. I plan for it to host a small collection of pictures this year related to my Falls Valley Railroad.

The picture I selected for my experiment shows my PRR M1a rolling across a Friend's Layout with a block of perishables heading east for home rails. I sort of schedule trains "off layout" and run them when I can.

I hope you enjoy the site. I have not yet figured out how to install any sort of text to tell about the photo so I wll see if I can get it to work. Sorry for the advertising, I hope to be able to subscribe to it if it works out the way I would like it to.

Highiron,

Excellent!! If you want your image to appear in your message, You have done all the hard work. The next step is really very easy. Just click on the image icon in the forum tool bar on your message and put your url between the brackets:



My only suggestion might be to compress the photo just a little bit (maybe 25%) to make it a little more web friendly.

Here is a link explaining more (you have probably seen it, but what the heck).

I look forward to seeing more pics,

Photobucket also offers a link with the IMG tags already at both ends. I use it an really find it useful.
