Hi! Many members here have asked me how to post graphics on the site. I thought it would be best to write a blog because there have been so many requests that I would be sorry if someone fell thru the cracks. So here it goes!
There are a couple of ways to post a picture in a blog or private message.
The straight copy and paste!
Do a search for the image you want. Right click and copy. Go to the blog or private message and right click paste. Voila!
Find a pic that uses a code to post?
Click on the share button. Highlight the html code, then right click and copy. Go to the blog or private message. Click on the image button (just above the blog or comment section). Paste the code in the url section, hit save. At this point usually a box with a red x will appear in the blog. Don't worry about that because when you save the picture will apprear! Cool huh!
To post a picture on someone's message board you have to have a url code. You cannot just copy and paste a picture you find in an image search like you can in a blog or private message. Refer to the above but just highlight the code, copy and then paste it in the person's message board.
To post a Youtube video
Find the one you want! Click on the share button. Click on the embed button. Make sure the “use the old code” box is checked (very important) Highlight the code, then copy. Go to the blog or private message, open the image box and paste the code in the alternate text space (also very important!) When you paste you'll see a string of code. Not to worry because when you paste the video will be there!
I hope these tips will help you enjoy the fun of adding graphics to your blogs and such. If you have any questions please let me know!
Please note: These instructions do not seem to work for images already on a computer. Dale wrote a blog a while back that explained how to take a photo and upload it so that you can then post it. Here is the link to that blog. https://excommunity.becomeanex.org/blogs/jonescarp.aka.dale.Jan_2007-blog/2011/05/09/how-to-post-a-p...
