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!
