First step in posting pictures here is to upload your photos to an online photo hosting site. Several are available such as "Webshots", "Yahoo Photos", "Photobucket" etc. Once your pics are uploaded you have a couple options.

Option 1 is to link to the website that contains your photos. When you are viewing your photosite, itÂs specific address will show in the address bar at the top of your browser. Left click on this address and it will turn blue. Then Right click on the address and select "COPY" from the dropdown. Now, you can go to the Garden Web site, pull up the "New Post" or "Reply" window, which ever is appropriate. Position the cursor in the box that says "Optional Link URL". Then Right click and select "PASTE". This inserts the link to your pics. Then drop down to the "Name of link" box and give it a descriptive name of your choice. You then can type your message or description in the message box.

Option 2 is to embed a picture directly in your message. Note: some photo sites will NOT allow photos to be embedded here. Webshots is one that won't work. Photobucket works very well.
This gets a little tricky but is really simple if youÂre using Photobucket. When using photo bucket, there will be three lines with addresses under each pic.
Left click on the one that says TAG and it will turn blue.
Then Right click on it and select (L-click)"COPY" from the dropdown.
Now go to the message window on the forum, position the cursor in the message window and R-click and select "PASTE"
This will paste that tag line in the message window. Your pic will show up when you select "review".
Now, if the photo is pretty big you might want to resize it.
In the tag line that's showing in the message window add this between the last " and >
width="300"
now the end of the tag line will look like this .....jpg"width="300">
300 is an arbitrary number. If the original pic is say 800 x 400 then 800 is the width. To down size the pic by 50% then use 400 for the width.

There is a test forum at the bottom of the forum page. You can try out stuff there. Good luck.

Maybe this will help some more: I use Photobucket and load the pics I want to post there. I edit the photo, I resize it to the larger of the options. Go back to "album" and select your picture and click on the HMTL tag. It will say "copied". Go to edit at the top of your screen and copy. Go back to GW and write your post. then put your curser (?) where you want your photo and go to edit and "paste". You should see a long thread of letters etc. When you review your post you SHOULD see the picture the way you want it. It seems easy to me now but it wasn't at first and I needed all the help I could get.

You can also go to the gallery at this forum and follow the instructions to upload a picture. I usually have to shrink the pictures on my computer before I upload because there is a size limit. There is a way to make the picture show up in the body of your message, but I've forgotten how to do that. I usually just post the picture link from the gallery in my topic thread.

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.
