How do I add a photo to a post I make?

[pangaia]

Can't figure it out OR where else to ask.

[RedSpartan]

1. On the photo

right click, then copy the address that is listed in "Properties." Paste the address in your draft post, and it should work.

[leftieNanner]

34. So does this mean that I can't post a photo from my own computer?

Does it have to be online?

[JaneyVee]

2. Copy image address of photo (URL) & paste into message text field.

20. Don't copy the URL from the Google image search. Instead...

Copy just the image address from the picture.

[crunch60]

23. ok, I opened the goog pic, then copied that image address.

3. I use www.imgur.com to upload my photos

Then chose "message boards " for the code

[CTyankee]

7. is it easier than tinypic.com? I have that and the process is time consuming to upload photos

even tho I arrange my photos in folders for special usage of related images here on DU. It always scrambles the images I have so carefully laid out in my folder! Is there something easier than tinypic?

Even on simply uploads it can take a lot of time just getting it all right...

4. First, you have to have a place online to store it.

I have storage space linked to my broadband account but, I believe other people use Photobucket. Once the photo is online, you only need to link to it in your post and it will appear. You can hit the preview button to make sure it worked.

5. it has to already be online and the address end in .jpg or another photo extention

then just paste the address into your post

if you don't have a photo bucket or other free photo account you'll need to start one, or if you want to post something you found on the web, just right click the pic, copy the address and paste into your post

hope that helps!

I used TinyPic Free Image Hosting - very easy - here's the link to it. First You have to save the photo on your desktop.

25. TEST pic. --Notice how POTUS has a real grip on Michelle, Mitt, well just standing there with

his hands at his side, doing the obligatory kiss thing. Says a lot about how these men feel about their spouse. Obama, very warm, Mittens, distant.

29. Romney is like a soulless emotionless robot, standing there with his arms at his side.

12. I have had a difficult time with this

Thank you for asking! I subscribed to Photobucket and posted 2 pictures..have had
a hard time and not been able to post another one with it..

I just tried using the right click and url on one for practice and it worked perfectly.
Thank you Janey Vee..

I have had trouble with Twitter Pictures and need to practice with those!Sure
easier than Photobucket!

[CTyankee]

32. I tried Photobucket and couldn't understand their process so I found tinypic.com and

understood their process just fine. However, as I said above, I find it time consuming with a lot of steps when you are posting more than one image in a series (one by one). I was hoping the process would have been streamlined since I started uploading photos several years ago, but apparently not...

[Shade7M]

13. Here, lemme try another one..

Here's the greatest alien diplomat in the galaxy...

.html


Trying to use IM option instead; hopefully this works better.

[Dalai_1]

14. President Obama with Daughter

[Shade7M]

15. Ok, another test...

That didn't work, lemme try IMG option. I'm looking for a way to not show the html coding with the image. any ideas?

[IMG][/IMG]

[Shade7M]

16. ahh.

There we go, about time I figured that out....

[pangaia]

18. How did you do it w/o the url?

[Shade7M]

19. I used IMG option in photobucket...

It's in that menu off to the lower right of the pic you have displayed. It'll show email & IM, html, IMG, etc. You just click on the option to automatically copy the code, then paste it into your msg...

[JaneyVee]

21. You don't need img src if you are copying address from website

you only need to paste the address starting with http:// insert address here.jpg

[pangaia]

17. Thanks folks... got one..

Judy Garland's dress in W of O
I'll keep at it.
Guess I will have to get a photobucket acct , etc for my own photos on my desk top.
To be continued...

26. First you print it out.

Then crop to the size you want.

Then, using a good musalige glue, affix it to your screen.

(Please don't do this. It will leave you wit a serious clean up problem.)
