I want to show a picture of a young gal who I taught to quilt and her first baby quilt and am not sure how to get the picture send with my message

Right beside the "submit" button is an "Attach Files" button. Click it. Then select "Browse", which will take you to pics on your computer. Click on your picture. Then submit.

Hint: I try to go into my pictures first, and make a copy of the picture I want to post, then I edit it with paint. I choose the sketch/skew option and reduce the pic to 25% of the original size. That way it doesn't take forever to upload and upload time to viewers is also reduced. I have dial-up!

Huge tip Miranda, working the picture on computer first. Also, be sure to name the picture something you can easily find again. I'm trying to teach my DH to move pictures to his desktop before posting them because finding them is his biggest challenge (he's never sure where he's "browsing").

Yes, or have a special folder for "internet postings only" that you copy your duplicate picture into before resizing.

Thanks guys. I'll bookmark and save this for when I try again. My DH came in and helped me post the pictures of Allie's quilt. I appreciate the help. Eventually I'll post pictures of some of the quilts I've made, now that I finally found my camera cables (of course the same day after I bought a universal card reader

You're welcome. Well, at least you have that card reader for next time you lose the cables...LOL!
