How do I attach a picture please?
First, the photo you want to post should be on a web server somewhere. If it's already on a website then right-click the image, then pick "Copy Image location".
When you post a message look at the little buttons above the box that you type in: the ones above the smiley faces.
Bottom row, 4th button from left. Press it.
In place of "URL" you paste in the location of the image.
For my example I have chosen the first photo from the 12-stage relay on the Harriers website. The location is: www.prestonharriers.net/050402preston01_small.JPG
When I click the picture button and paste in the URL I get this:
This just gives me the thumbnail of the photo. To get the full size photo I have to go back to the Harriers site, click on the thumbnail to get the large photo then copy the location and paste it in plave of "URL".
The address of the big photo is: www.prestonharriers.net/images/Northern%20Road%2005/050402preston01.JPG
Pasted in place of the "URL" , I get:
The photo you want to display needs to be on a server somewhere. You could get someone with a website, say Bob or Chris, to host it for you. You can also go to a webhost (see below for link) and post it yourself.
www.free-webhosts.com/free-image-hosting.php
You upload your photo to the site, copy the address, then paste it into your post.
I'm new to this side of things but will experiment over the weekend. Let me know if you have problems or questions. If all else fails I have a friend with a website and he could host your photo for you.
