       How to post a picture

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       This is a walk through of posting a picture on the forum using
       photo-bucket, smugmug, picasa or any other photo hosting
       website.  Post in this thread if you have any questions
       1)  Selecting your host: You need to decide where/how you're
       going to host your image.  I use Picasa because it's free and
       uses the same url for the image even if you change other things
       in the album.   This is not true for photo-bucket.  If you were
       to change/delete a photo in a photo-bucket album you will change
       the url used for the other pictures in your album and this will
       cause your image not to show.   (Sorry I don't have smugmug so I
       can't do step by step for it, but it should be fairly similar)
       2) Uploading the image: Once you have determined where you will
       host your images, you need to upload them to that site.  There
       should be how-to instructions on the site itself that help you
       with that.  If you run into any problems let me know and I will
       do the best I can to help.
       3) Get the URL: This is done differently depending on the site
       you use.
       a) Picasa:  from your google plus album select the photo and
       maximize it (you've selected the photo from the album and are
       viewing the photo) now just right click on the picture and
       select "copy image URL".  You can do this exact same thing from
       the Picasa web album too.
       b) Photobucket: maximize the photo so it's the only one
       showing (you've selected the photo from the album and are
       viewing the photo) on the side bar to the right of the screen
       there will be a box that says "links to share this photo" just
       click you mouse on the one that says "IMG"
       4) Posting the photo:
       a) Picasa: Assuming you have clicked "reply" or are starting
       a new thread, you'll have the text editing box open.  This is
       where you normally type when making a post to the forum.  Now
       you can click the image button which should be the little
       picture looking button under the bold "B" button.  If you do
       this it will put something that looks like this down on your
       page ""  just paste your URL in the middle of the two sets of
       brackets and  you should be good to go.  If you want you can
       also just type out the brackets and "img" putting your link in
       the middle, it works all the same.
       b) Photobucket:  This is the advantage of Photobucket right
       here.  Just paste your link in the text editing box and you're
       done.
       If you have any questions don't hesitate to PM me or post on
       this thread.  Hope this is helpful.
       Ta-Dah!
