First you need to upload it online somewhere, such as Photobucket (free). Some free image hosting services will provide you with a HTML code snippet for putting the image in the post. If yours doesn't, then there are two ways you can show it. 1. img HTML tags - These tags will make it display in the post itself like below: Replace all + below with for working HTML code: +img src="http://thewebadressofyourpicture/pict.jpg" border="0"> Replace the http://thewebaddress... part with the URL of your picture. 2. HTML link - This provides a link to open it in another window like below: Replace the + with in the below: +a href="http://thewebaddressofpicture/pict.jpg" target=_blank- linkname +/a- Where linkname is what you want others to read (such as "my flowers"). Hope this helps, Liltika

One of the easiest ways to provide your photo to be embedded into a post is to upload it onto an image hosting site such as Photobucket, Flickr, etc. That should be pretty straight forward, and the individual sites will give instructions on how to get your photos uploaded to their site when you sign up. Once your picture has been uploaded, find its image location address (URL) by right clicking on the image and copying the image location. Some sites may even provide the appropriate HTML code in a text box below the photo for your convenience. It will be the one that begins with a href=... Let's say, as an example, that the address of the picture you want to post is http://somepicturesite.com/yourpicture.jpg To embed the picture into a post, use the command: img src="http://somepicturesite.com/yourpicture.jpg"> _____________________________________ If your picture is too large to fit nicely into the text page, you can add a width attribute. The command with the width attribute would look something like: img src="http://somepicturesite.com/yourpicture.jpg" width=600> _____________________________________ Another option is to use a text link which might be beneficial to people on slow connections. To do this, use the command: a href="http://somepicturesite.com/yourpicture.jpg">your text goes here/a> _____________________________________ Note that I had to use special characters to get the commands above to show up here without turning into pictures, but you can use them as shown (with the correct image web address, of course).

Well, first off you need to be able to put your pictures on the world wide web. You can post them on one of the photo hosting sites, or if you have one, your own web site. If you have only a picture or two, you can upload them to the GardenWeb Gallery. Once you have pictures on the web, you can then copy the link that appears in the address box and paste it into the "Optional Link URL:" that will show up on the second page of the form that you use to start a new thread. If you are on a photo hosting site, you have to do something to make the pictures public, so we can see them without logging in. If you want to embed your link in the text, you can follow the directions linked below. Good luck, we are looking forward to seeing your pictures. Here is a link that might be useful: How to make a clickable link.

There is a search function. You have to search when you are looking at the list of posts, not when you have a thread open. Look at the bottom of the page...right next to the Today's Birthdays Icon. We all had to learn how to post pics. It seems crazy that Garden Web doesn't make the info handy to get to.
