Did Santa bring you a digital camera for Christmas? Do you want to post a pic of your pride and joy? Here are a few useful tips and sites:1. Read this first. It contains SouNdguy's cogent explanation of the general photo-posting process. Drop me an email (orthwp@muohio.edu) if you don't understand the terms or techniques described.
2. Most of you will need a site to host the photo(s) you wish to post. This is the photo host site I use: www.villagephotos.com. A google search for "photo host" will turn up many similar sites, some free and some pay.
3. Adding more than one picture to a single post requires the use of HTML. Here is Jim.UT's
explanation of the technique. A basic guide to HTML will be enough to teach you many cool tricks.
Hints: Always re-size pictures to reasonable dimensions. 700 x 525 will fit in the screen of most browsers. 1024 x 768 will fit most desktops (i.e., for "wallpaper" size pics). Remember that this site has many dial-up users. For these poor folks, threads with multiple large pictures can take several minutes to load. You can use MSPaint to re-size your photos. If you have Windows, this is already on your computer. You can find it under "Accessories." Higher-end programs, such as Adobe Photoshop, will allow you to control many more variables. Finally: Be patient. Read SouNguy's guide more than once. It's actually very easy to post pics. Good luck, and have fun with that camera!
