I do NOT see where or how to attach or post photos?

don't know which photo share program you're using. I use Picasaweb (free with gmail). Once you have the photos uploaded to picasaweb, you should be able to click on a photo in the album, and there's a button on the right to click on to link to the photo - something like: "embed image". Right under that is where you can choose the size - in the first example, I used a thumbnail. Once you click on the button, you'll get a url - should look something like this:

<a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/Qu3Z7g5Hnlgu_OcnTkxNyQ?authkey=Gv1sRgCJXk5av6_OSJlQE&feat=embedwebsite"><img src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_c5Cqcul1ARY/SoIg8Pj7jEI/AAAAAAAADcY/Np7b92RZMo0/s144/K11%20%26%20uni-go.JPG" /></a>

Now you have to remove everything that's bold above - and put [img] at the front of the string, and [/img] at the end of the string - or click on the img button, paste the string, then click the img button again.

Should look something like this: [img] http://lh6.ggpht.com/_c5Cqcul1ARY/SoIg8Pj7jEI/AAAAAAAADcY/Np7b92RZMo0/s144/K11%20%26%20uni-go.JPG[/img]

I intentionally left a space between [img] and the rest of the line above so you can see what it looks like. Take out the space and it looks like this:


A large (800px) photo will look like this:

Note: with Picasaweb, when I link to a photo, I initially get this: <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/Qu3Z7g5Hnlgu_OcnTkxNyQ?authkey=Gv1sRgCJXk5av6_OSJlQE&feat=embedwebsite"><img src="[/b]http://lh6.ggpht.com/_c5Cqcul1ARY/SoIg8Pj7jEI/AAAAAAAADcY/Np7b92RZMo0/s144/K11%20%26%20uni-go.JPG The second http string is the one you have to use - everything in front of that has to be deleted, as well as everything after the .jpg near the end of the string. What I end up using between the [img] brackets looks like this: http://lh6.ggpht.com/_c5Cqcul1ARY/SoIg8Pj7jEI/AAAAAAAADcY/Np7b92RZMo0/s144/K11%20%26%20uni-go.JPG

I discovered somethig a short while ago. When you post a new message look at the icons below the "Post a reply" banner. You will see a line of buttons. Second from the left is "Img".

If you will hit that button in front of where you want to post the URL of your picture it will automagically insert the correct prefix. Do it again at the end of the URL and it automagically posts the correct suffix.

Pretty cool huh.

Be nice - trim them to 600 or 700 pixels wide. If whatever software you're using uses dpi and inches that would be 6 or 7 inches at 100 dpi.
