How do you include photo in posting?
Comments (4)Bobbi, Phyllis from THS just told me the absolutely easiest (IMHO) way to post an image if you just have it stored on your computer: Go to Tinypic.com, click on 'upload', browse your files to get the picture, upload the picture from your computer and (the scanned photos have to be "Valid formats: jpg,png,bmp,gif,tif "). It will probably take a minute to upload. Choose the HTML file (the top string of code), not the IMG. Right click on that code, choose 'copy', and then: Come back to the forum you wish to post the picture in, type your message, THEN under your message, in the SAME box, right click and 'paste' that first line from tinypic.com Hit preview to make sure it 'took' - if not, try again. I just posted a picture of my Grandsons and their friend on the Kitchen Table site. There is also a test site on the main page here, that you can post a practice attempt....See MoreHow to include photos in a post (revised 8/19/11)
Comments (7)That's an interesting observation, steve_mass; I suppose the aims of posting can be very different in other forums. In the Building a Home forum, people often want to be able to post a building plan with enough detail so they can read the dimensions (small text). It also may be their first post so Tiny Pic is often recommended by that forum as the easiest way to get photos online. In the New England forum a thread will often get long with photos posted by many people. One big photo will disrupt everything after it, making the whole thread difficult to read. Close detail isn't necessary, even for plant identification since the ID is likely to be more a case of identifying a species, not a specific cultivar (hostas can be very similar). Picasa is very popular here in New England, possibly because of the enthusiastic support of some of the regulars (as well as its many fine features before I get flamed). Including a pic in the message is the gold standard, but this is a pretty relaxed forum and I think people would rather see a link in the box than not see a pic at all.

Comments (1)Fred, I see you double posted. I just answered you in the main Forum and referred you to a thread here in this forum, which is below, titled What is catfacing, for an explanation of your malformed fruit. Carolyn...See Morehow do I include photos in a post?
Comments (4)Hello mtnlaw, Here's the steps that you need to take. I'll try to keep it very simple as it's a pretty simple process but I'm not sure of your computer knowledge so I won't skip anything. 1. You have to sign up with a hosting service on the web to host your photo's. I use Photobucket.com, it's a free service for you to use. 2. After signing up, upload your photos from your computer to photobucket.com. You will see a blue button that mentions uploading photos. 3. Click the button and find where your photo's are located on your computer and click the photo and choose upload. 4. After uploading the photos, look under each photo and you will see a few different options for code. Look for the 3rd line I believe under HTML. Copy that code by right clicking your mouse on top of it and click Copy. 5. Return to Gardenweb and in the Message area that you type in simply paste that same code in the box. 6. Depending on how you want to insert your photos you can write your text above and paste all the code underneath each other to show all the photos in order. If you want to add text underneath each photo simply after pasting the code skip a line and then write the text you wish to use underneath the code and continue from there. 7. Hit the preview button to see how it looks. You can always go back to make changes before hitting the final submit button. Hope this helps! After doing it once or twice it's cake. Thank you!...See Morealmosthooked zone5
