How to post a photo

Split from the "Haley's in the studio!:" thread:

I just don't know to post it.

On a Windows computer, you can copy and paste text by highlighting it and pressing the keys (Ctrl+C) to copy it from one window and (Ctrl+V) to paste it in another.

This applies to URLS in the address bar of your browser too. If an image is on the Internet, you can generally mouse over it, right click on your mouse and select "view image" to isolate it and see its location. Some browsers will let you right click and select "copy image location."

If an image is not on the Internet, or you don't trust it will remain up, you can right click on "save image as" to save it to your hard drive. You would then need to upload it to the Internet. There are sites like http://www.imageshack.us that specialize in image hosting. You can set up a free account with them.

Then you can click on the icons to the right above the post to automatically apply the code you want to the text you've highlighted in your post. If you hold your cursor over the icons for a second a description will pop up (insert image, insert hyperlink, insert quoted text).

camera >> computer >> Internet >> link to message board

INTERNET

- Set up an account at http://imageshack.us/
- Upload the photo(s) to your account
- COPY the URL (web address) the image was uploaded to

LINK TO MESSAGEBOARD

- Start a post or reply
- Click the "insert image" icon
- PASTE the URL for the image in the dialogue box

Probably best to start the post before uploading the image. It will make copying and pasting the URL easier.

Yeah the image is too big

If you upload it to ImageShack, they have options you can check to have the image resized as it's uploaded.

What are you puzzling over? Resizing?

On ImageShack, if you look above the "UPLOAD" button, you'll find a drop-down menu with resizing options:
