How do I upload a picture and then place it someplace else?

I am in charge of my book clubs next meeting. We have a web page. When I create an event, there is a space that says upload photo. I want to upload a picture of the book jacket.

TIA!

You need to be aware that there are some things that although you may see them on your computer they have internal protections to prevent them from being shared. Sometimes copying and pasting will override this but not always.

Without being able to see your screen this might be difficult to explain. Hit Upload. Generally, that brings up something that says, Browse. Click that button and navigate to where you've saved the picture. Click on the picture and then click open. Usually, that should do the job.

Is the picture on your phone, or on an already existing website, like Amazon? If the latter, right-click on the photo and 'Save As' to someplace where you can find it easily (I'm a Windows user, and usually save things to my desktop for easy retrieval.)

Then on your book club's web page, click where it says to upload the photo and navigate to your desktop (or wherever you've saved the picture) and click on the photo.

If the photo is on your phone...is it an iPhone or Android? If the former, I can't help you. :-)

I hope you're able to get your PC cleaned up. If this is an instance of the installation of unwanted items and that's happened before, that might suggest that your security software isn't doing its job. And/or that your internet use habits need to be reviewed a bit. Once you get things back to normal, if you're not using one already, you might consider using a well rated security system. When you use a comprehensive program, utilities like Win Patrol become unnecessary. Attached as information for other readers is a link with trusted ratings of available programs. The not-free versions tend to be more comprehensive. The better rated free ones are capable but many have fewer features. Getting a multi-user license you share within your family or friends can reduce the cost. Also, many internet providers provide top rated products for free to subscribers. Good luck Antivirus software ratings

My bet is webpage developer error.... they were probably working from a webpage template that said "contact.edu" and they were supposed to replace it with the actual email address of the person or dept or whatever. Follow the same format as the "realname" ones, but substituting the name of the person you want to contact, and it should work. If it doesn't work, all you'll get is a bounced email to verify it. Some mail servers will notify immediately if there's a bounce, and others will attempt delivery for days before you're notified of a bounce, so send it and wait. :)

No you are not infected. Somehow you simply opened the log. It's just a file that logs the activity of background processes that keep your system running. It is helpful to tech support to access this list if your computer should develop a problem. Basically it's the entire history of your system. You can clean up the useless files but it basically a system that allows one to troubleshoot.

You have to have a picture of the book jacket on your computer first. You can do that by actually taking a picture of it (assuming you have the book) and putting it on your computer the way you would any other picture or by saving an image of it that you find on Amazon or Goodreads etc to your computer. From there, when you are on the club website and click to upload a picture, go to wherever you have stored the image.

I only use a computer, not a phone. So I right click the photo and Save Image As and it saves to my desktop. I then attach it from there.

Or, if it won't copy and paste, you can take a screen shot and save it to your desktop (or elsewhere on your computer), then upload it onto your website.

Just for the record! And to extrapolate on what Maifleur has contributed.

When you "save as" a photo or any piece that you find on the internet that you want to use for your own or post to a thread...please...change the name or number of the photo or piece to your own name [i.e. "winters woof"] or number [winter 123] when you "save as". Otherwise...you're stealing bandwidth and that is not only technically illegal...it's considered very bad manners by the internet community as a whole. Some copyrighted material is coded so it won't allow linking but not all. Some sites are careful with their material and they move it around from time-to-time. If you saved it and didn't "own it" by giving it a new name...wherever you used it...the vision will suddenly disappear from view.

Read through the info linked below. It will explain much more than space allows here. And...you'll be a much more appreciated internet user.
