. . . or not.

Is there any thread around here where the inept can practice posting jpgs? (sorry!)

If the picture is already on the Internet do this...

This technique is called Linking or Blogging

1. Locate the Picture that you want to post. (This will be on another web site.)

2. Now move your mouse cursor over the picture.

3. Make a RIGHT click. (Most of use do LEFT clicks only. But if you make a RIGHT click a menu will appear. You want access to that menu.)

3. On the menu that appears should be a term called "Properties".

4. Click on PROPERTIES.

5. A different window will appear. This will consist of all the properties of the picture that you are interested in.

6. The following information should be displayed:
..........Protocol
..........Type
..........Address(URL)
..........Size
..........Dimensions

7. Highlight the value that is given as the "Address(URL)". ANd do a copy. Note. Make sure that you get the entire long URL in. I hasve sometimes missed the front half or the end, so be careful.

8. Now when you post a message place this text in the message:
img src="" border=1

9. Make sure that you enclose it with <> . OK?

10. Finally PASTE the URL that you copied and put it in between the IMG SRC="", the "". OK?

Good Luck.

The jpg has to be online somewhere, let's say it is at http://wwww.example.com/NotReal.jpg, then all you have to do is type the following, eclosed in"< >" brackets instead of the "[ ]" ones:

[img src="http://wwww.example.com/NotReal.jpg"]

That's all there is to it. I didnt do it directly in my post because the pix were kinda big and I didnt want to bog down the bandwidth for people unless they were motivated to click the link.
