Hi Pam - glad to.

First of all, in either case your picture must be on the INTERNET somewhere. I tried shutterfly images and they didn't work so I am using images I have stored on photobucket - photobucket.com/

For inserting a picture in your post.

!. Click on "Reply" on the blue line under the post - not the quick reply.

2. On the tool bar above where the smilies are, in fact above the 5th smiley, is an "image" button (4th one along). If you rest your cursor on it, a little box appears saying "Insert Image".

3. You have to have the picture on the INTERNET and copy its URL.

4. When you click on the insert picture button this will appear in your message - [image] [/image] (without the a and the e in word image which I have added to make it show). Be sure to have your cursor placed where you want the picture in your message before you click the button.

5. Place your cursor between [image] and [/image] and paste the URL. - I'll do a fake one so a picture doesn't show
[image]http://pic.photobucket.com/2.jdg[/image]

6. You get the URL by right clicking on a picture on the INTERNET, which brings up a sub-menu (list), then left clicking on "Properties" at the bottom of this list, which brings up a grey box. In the middle of it is the Address (URL). The whole thing must be copied from "http" to the end. To copy you highlight the whole address, place your cursor on a word in the address and right click, which brings up a submenu with "Copy" near the bottom, then left click on "Copy". Then place your cursor between the 2 s and right click and paste.

I usually have 2 windows open at one time for this ( top left of page - File menu - "New" so I can go back and forth easily.

If you want to email me any pics I can put them on my account at photobucket. I don't mind doing it for anyone. However, it is fairly easy to get an account and upload pictures, if you are comfortable doing that.

See how you do with getting your pics on the INTERNET somewhere and inserting one in your post.

Inserting a picture like the one of Gordie is a matter of going into your profile and modifying it. Under personal information you will find, part way down the page "Avatar URL". Just paste the URL of the picture you want there and it should come up. That one is easy. If the picture is distorted just adjust the width and height - e.g. to make taller and narrower use Avatar width 60 and Avatar Height 90 (can only go as high as 100 in each. I had to do this as Gordie's pic was stretched out of proportion.

Hope this helps - probably too much information, but let me know if you need anything else. We could go on messenger and talk it back and forth while you are doing it if needed.

Much love

I hope this works. If not, I will try again. Thanks for taking your time to write these directions.

Hi rachiesmom

What you have copied in is the address of the site. You can post this by clicking the 2nd button on the bottom row - "Insert Hyperlink" and it will take people to your "Memory Of" site.

To post a picture, you need to left click on a photo on that site and copy the URL as I described and paste it between the [image]s. Rachel is such a beautlful young woman.

Hope this works for you.

Blessings

Hi Denise

Scan pics and save them on your computer where you can find them again.

Go to photobucket and set up an account for yourself - it's free and pretty easy.

photobucket.com/

Upload the pics into an album on photobucket. Then follow the instructions of right clicking on the pic, finding and copying the URL.

If you are not comfortable doing that email me pics and I'll put it (or them) into an album on my account. Then I will give you the URL for you to use here.

Hope this helps - let me know.

Love
