how to post a photo Options

[dmenche914]

i have read the instructions on the FAQ key, and still cannot figure how to post a photo. Can someone please help, using minimal computer lingo.

The instructions tell to click on the IMG button, and I do and get a question box asking for a URL. Whats a URL, and what do i type in? My photos are on a CD disk, from a camera. I got the photos to display ok on my computer, and I can select them ok. How do I get past step one and select a URL?

second question is my photos i was told are 700 mb in size, the instructions say that is too big, (they came from a cheap camera, so i was surprised to find they are too big). How can i compress or make the data smaller on the photos to fit the requirement?

Any help is appreciated.

thanks dave

You image might be 700 kb in size. Anyway, you don't want to click the IMG button unless the image is already on the internet. To upload a photo click the Choose File button at the bottom near the submit button. A window will appear showing your files on your computer. Find the image you want to attach. Then submit your post , don't preview or it will fail.
