For those of you who don’t know how to upload pictures here I thought I’d give you a quick tutorial on how so we could hopefully see more of these lovely packages everyone is opening. First off, I use a image hosting site to post my pictures.
-Go to tinypic.com & open a free account by hitting the Join Now! Up at the top right corner. Your photos will be available to anyone online to look at after you upload them through the site so be careful what you post.
-After you sign in there will be an upload videos & images page & a button for you to push that says “Choose file.” After hitting this navigate to your photo saved on your computer, cell phone, iPad or other device that you’re on & choose the image you want.
-If you want, you can type in “tags” for other people or you to be able to search for your picture later like “quiltingboard, quilting, Christmas presents, gifts” or any other thing you can think of. Make sure you separate each with a comma.
-Obvious keep the option on image instead of video or URL.
-The next most important step is that you must resize your picture for the forum site. This is a mandatory step & you can choose the message board size (normal), or the smaller website/email size.
-Now you hit “Upload Now!” & a new screen will load with your image and a list of several possible offerings to choose from.
-You want to copy the code line under “IMG Code for Forums & Message Boards” that starts with a squared paranthesis & IMG (I cant type the squared parathesis or the quilting board with think I’m trying to write code on here which is what you are doing when posting a picture).
-This whole line you’re going to come back onto the quilting board and paste into your reply, usually below what you type. You can do at least 2 images in one reply so you just go back & repeat the steps to get a second image code after you’ve done your first one (If you open a second window with the quiltingboard you can just paste your first code to the bottom of the reply box, go back & get your second code after that, then type up what you want to say after the codes are saved). I’ve had an error happen if trying to post a third image. And that’s it!!! TaDaaaaa! I hope this helps someone.
Good luck everyone & Happy Holidays!
