Okay, how do I post a picture?

[silverweb]

This is a picture in my personal files, not on the web. I know you guys can do it, I just have no idea how.

Help?

You'll love it, I promise!

1. From FAQ's

You cannot post pictures directly from your computer's hard drive. You must first upload them to some webspace on the internet.

Most Internet Service Providers give their subscribers a limited amount of webspace you could use to upload your pictures, otherwise there are a couple free image uploading sites, and some people may know of a place you can upload your pictures, so ask in The Lounge.

Once your image is uploaded, all you have to do to post it is include the URL in your message, for example:

3. Thank you!

Now I feel stupid for not checking FAQs first. :D

All I need now is a site to upload the picture to!

Anyone??

2. Get yourself a Photobucket album

http://www.photobucket.com

You can upload pictures from your HD to your Photobucket album and then link to them in posts. Photobucket will even provide the correct URL to do so, all you need to do is copy and paste it.

7. That's a risk I'll take.

By the way, I LOVE the Bene Gesserit quote. That group was one of the major highlights of Dune!

6. YIKES!

It worked just fine, but the picture is HUGE. How do I make it smaller???

8. You'll need photo editing software. Adobe Photoshop, Kodak, etc.

It's okay that it's big. We just want to see it!

9. Thanks!

I'll have to send it back to the friend who photoshopped it for me in the first place.

In the meantime, if admin will forgive me for using so much bandwidth, here it is just once:

11. What size should it be?

My friend wants to know how many pixels or kb or whatever the picture should be.
