Help with pictures

[DoWopBox]

I'd like to chronicle the building of my teardrop just as many others have done before me. However, I prefer to use Yahoo Photos as my album source. How do I use that and still have members of the Forum access it when they go to look at my album on the site?

http://www.photobucket.com is better, as you can reference it and have your pictures show up here. Its free and they help you with the code to post it here. You can also direct people to your photo album(s).

They can be in the form of clickable thumnails...



or full size

DoWopBox,

Well, I signed up for it....................but not sure I like it as much as my Yahoo Album account. Might just be because I don't yet know just how to work it. Can't seem to rearrange order of pictures as I can with Yahoo. Can't figure out how to have several individual albums viewable only by themselves. Oh well, I'll keep trying.

All of that is do-able, just takes some practice. Here is mine, BTW: http://photobucket.com/albums/b301/DoWopBox/

Ya gotta understand................I'm not of "this" generation. When I attended classes, we used slide rules with which to calculate, not adding machines and calculators. We didn't have computers. Heck, I was the first student in our highschool to type fast enough to be allowed to use the one ELECTRIC typewriter the class had. So all this hi-tech stuff leaves me waaaaaay behind. I don't think like a computer. I think like a lead pencil and rubber eraser! I'll git er figgerd out sooner or later..........it just takes me longer than most.

And DoWopBox conveniently illustrates what happens if you insert photos more than 800 pixels wide - it pushes the right margin out so you have to scroll left and right to read the text - which is why it is courteous not to post wide photos here.

Grrrr.

Slide rules put man on the moon! How many tries did it take to get a probe on Mars? You meant feet? I inputted meters.

Don't worry, you'll get it. All you have to do is keep playing with it and don't be afraid that you'll mess something up. No matter how much we hate to admit it we all screw something up. Nothing fixes a computer better than a reformat/reinstall.
