What's the cool pix of?.....

[Adam-ondi-Ahman]

Well, he's giving us the news that he is trying to cut and paste pictures, but that is breaking. Thus, breaking news.

Do you have them hosted on the internet somewhere, or you just trying to upload them to FR? They have to already be online somewhere.

A quickie on how to post pictures :)
When you find an image online you want, click and hold your mouse.

An option should appear (like: "save image as") that will allow you to save the image to your computer.

Next, go to the site where you want your image stored.
http://photobucket.com is one site. It's free and you get a lot of storage and bandwidth.
(The image must be stored at a place on the internet that will let you have some bandwidth)
Once you get to Photobucket, you'll find a place to upload it from your computer. ("Add Picture")

When you want to post an image-

At Photobucket, copy the info in the "TAG" option of the picture you saved. Paste it in your post :)

Or you can simply "hotlink".

1. Write: <img src="name">
2. In the " ", type in the image's location.
Hope this helps! :)

google "html primer" or search FR for "HTML bootcamp"

If you don't have them online, go open an account at photobucket or something.

Right click on image, choose "open image".

Copy http address, and paste after 'equal sign' in following code. All of this is contained inside these brackets: <>

img src=

You have to have the picture hosted on the net. Hope you get it posted. You may can send it to someone that has an account set up and they can post/host it for you.

Chris had lunch with the President and First Lady today.

[MotleyGirl70]

You need to upload them to Shutterfly (which I use), Image Shack or Photobucket, first.

Then post them from there.
