How to Upload Photos in a post?


Please give 'dummie' help so I can upload photos into a post.

Thanks, Elliott

The image must be hosted elsewhere on the web, not uploaded from your computer. It may already be on a web page, in which case you right click on it and copy the address, or hosted on your own server, or perhaps an image-hosting site like Flickr or Imgur.

Wherever it is, when you get to the part of your post where you want an image inserted among the pearls of wisdom, you click on the image icon that is sixth from the left in the toolbar at the top of the post composition window (it looks like a mountain skyline with a sun in the sky). A dialog box pops up and you paste in the image address in the URL box. Ignore the rest of it for now and click 'OK'. Finish the words of wisdom, preview for spelling errors and then post. Done.

thanks, I’m gonna try a photo in my DPReview Gallery

size: 350 x 350, looks like a decent size box, then when I save, it becomes a narrow strip with no image.

here’s a link to my galleries uploaded to DPR

a link to one photo

I thought you’d previously posted at least one photo of your home system, with success.

lewm,

it simply says

create system

images, choose a file

choose a local file (from your computer)

I just made a test system, my wife Donna at my mother’s 99th birthday last year, she’s 100 now

alrighty then, I was copying the link at the top bar. this time I did the right click on the image itself as you instructed, size was automatically entered,

Oh Happy Day, thanks!
