    Help with pictures please?????

    I have tried everything I can think of to show pictures in an occasional post. I've resized, checked that it is a valid file format, tried every button I could find and get nothing. I even tried reading the instructions but only got more confused. The "Attachment" choice tells me it's not a valid file. Any help would be very much appreciated.

    Thanks,
    Patt

    I don't know if things have changed, but it used to be that the picture had to be on the web, not on your computer. So you had to post the picture to a webbased photo storage site.

    Hopefully, someone has more updated information.

    As newcook says, your pictures have to have a url to be able to post. There are lots of different photo storage sites out there; Photobucket, Shutterfly and flickr probably the most well known since they've been out there forever. There are a few places, though, that you don't have to register and create albums for; you just need to upload the picture you want to post at the moment and don't need an account. Two that I've used and have found quick and easy to do are picturepush.com and tinypic.com.

    You need to upload your pic to one of the sites then copy the url that is generated for you. Enter the url here in the little pop-up box that appears when you click on the picture icon (). When you post, the picture should be right there.

    Note that if you are posting pics to Facebook you can also link to that location.

    Thanks all. It explains why I wasn't having any luck.
