Once you upload to photobucket, you have to actually copy the link from the their site and paste it into the body of the email. I kept thinking I had to post below in the optional links URL.

It's pretty easy once you know what has to be done... First you have to get the image onto the internet somehow- I have a couple servers so I just put the picture I want to show on one of mine and post the link. You can search for free image host and use one of those.. Or email it to one of us who has a server. (easier for you to find your own "hosting" tho as I'm not always around to post pics for folks) Once you get space on a server somewhere, put your image on it (it's called "uploading") then you can use the "Optional Link URL:" below to post a link to the image, or write some HTML code to make the image pop up here. For example, if I wanted to post first I would upload it, then I would go look at it in my browser, then copy the URL of where it is. THe URL of this example is: http://krstofer.org/plants/passiflorasunburst.jpg (It's what's in the "location" field at the top of your browser) Then if I wanted to make the image appear here I'd type (img src="location of your image ") which in this example would be (img src="http://krstofer.org/plants/passiflorasunburst.jpg") NOTE: You have to change the ( and ) to respectively to make the image appear- I had to use the () to "trick" the forum into showing the code rather than looking for an image somewhere... And when you've done all correctly you should be able to see your image in the "preview" section of your post, and when your done the image should pop up: Just like that.

No kids but my dogs have a lot of similar sounding toys, a lot of them are kids toys and I throw those in the washer with no problems. They even still make all the sounds after they come out. You may want to use the gentle cycle just to be on the safe side. Lisa

Try this: Create a folder on the H/D and name it as you wish. Mine is called Stand By. Place your CD in the drive, most likely d:/ and open Windows Explorer. In Windows Explorer click on the numeric serial number of the CD in its drive. The contents of the CD will appear in the large right window. In the small left window click on the + in front of the C:/ drive. This will open the system tree showing the folders of the drive. Locate the target picture in the large right window, and drag and drop it to the file you newly created. From there you can do anything you want with it, and the original will remain on the CD. DA
