Is there directions somewhere to tell me how to post a picture here?
I hope you can post the picture from Colorado Springs.
To post a photo here, the photo needs to be made available on the internet, i.e. it is first uploaded from your computer to a photo hosting site. The following site has been very easy to use.
You may want to register first at the site to create your own folder there in which to save your photos for free, but you don’t have to. You can just follow the instructions below this link. To post the photo here after uploading it, copy the code in the “HTML for Websites” box and paste that code into a reply on this thread.
Click “Choose File” (then choose the photo file in a folder on your computer), choose to “Resize” if necessary, click “Upload Now”.
You can first click on “View Full Size Image” under your picture to see how the image will appear (this helps to prevent posting huge images into the FR thread).
Copy the code in the “HTML for Websites” box, and paste that code into a reply on this thread.
How to add images to your post:
The img tags tell the computer to find and insert a picture.
You need to know the URL of the picture to do this. You can see the picture's URL when you put your cursor on the picture and right click the mouse. You see a small box with "properties" at the bottom. Left click on "properties" and you get a dialog box with the image URL and dimensions. It says Address: next to the URL, with (URL) underneath. Copy the URL and paste it after your img src= tag. Make sure you get all of the URL for the picture. There isn't a lot of space for the URL and sometimes they are very long. The image Size and Dimensions are beneath the URL. Free Republic allocates memory for each image, and if it doesn't know the dimensions of the image, it will allocate more memory than needed. It tells you the width, then the height of the picture.
This is called a hotlink. The picture is actually on another computer, but we see it here. This causes the other computer to use it's memory and machinery to provide the image. Some sites prevent it, or object to it. You can't hotlink an image from any of Yahoo's GeoCities pages, for example. Yahoo prevents it.
