I was wondering if someone would not mind giving me detailed instructions on how to post pictures. I took pictures of one of our science experiments in LHFHG and I thought it might be fun to post.
Thank you

Re: Posting Pictures
Lori,
Here's a copy of what I had sent to someone who asked earlier. (It worked, so hopefully you have success, too!
)
To post pictures, I put them in photobucket online first. (This is what I saw someone reccommend last spring when I was new here.) I think they have to be online to post them on the message board. So, you'd go to photobucket and set up an account. Then you download your pictures from your computer to photobucket. Their bulk downloader is MUCH faster - I'd reccommend that. I have mine download as "medium" size, but it may not matter anymore what size you download them as because I think the HOD board posts them as a certain size. (We used to get some GIANT pictures and some little ones.)
Once the picture is downloaded, underneath you'll see a bunch of little codes you can click on. When you click on the one that says IMG, it will say "image copied". So, as you're posting on the HOD board, and you're ready for a picture, you'll paste it right into the messge. (I just use control v.) When you put it in the message it won't look like a picture until you submit the message. It'll be the "computer language" to the picture. I open 2 tabs when I'm posting pictures so I can go back and forth between photobucket and HOD. You'll have to go back to copy the next picture by clicking on the IMG place and then paste it into HOD, etc.
Does that make sense?
Can't wait to see pictures of all your fun!

Re: Posting Pictures
Kathleen !
Thank you for your kindness and taking the time to explain it to me.
I am going to give it a try.
It may take me a few days to get to it as we are heading into a very busy weekend, but I cannot wait to do it.
God Bless you !

Re: Posting Pictures
Kathleen ! I did it, I did it, Yea !
I did not think photobucket was that intuitive or the most user friendly. The screens felt too busy, but some how after enough "wandering" around, I figured out the very basics.
Is there a tutorial on photobucket?
There were so many choices, but it all looks overwhelming.
Thank you so much for your instructions.
Have a great week.
