Posting Photo's

[Red Badger]

As our last tutorial on how to post pictures has been deleted, because the writer has departed our site for the great Rendezvous in the sky and their photo bucket account has been deleted , I will endeavor to write my own modest  tutorial.

As has been mentioned this will be a very basic and low knowledge level tutorial (I hope) so everyone will be able to post photos from a computer.  (those of you using smart phones and tablets I can't help, sorry!)

The first thing we need to decide is where we are going to store our picture(s).   I will use the Photobucket account I have set up for this tutorial.  You can set up your own free account at http://www.photobucket.com  .  There are several other sites you can use but I am not familiar with them.

Once you have your account set up and you have uploaded pictures to your account you are ready to let others see those pictures.

When you first open up Photobucket you will see a screen something like this:



Select the picture you want to add to your post by going to that picture in Photobucket.

I have set up album's to sort my pictures . so I have to navigate to that album and then select the picture I want .



To add the picture to a post on Traditional Muzzloading on the Cheap follow these steps;
1.    Create the post in the appropriate area.
2.   Paste the IMG tag into the post using the Paste function on your computer ( most computers use "control + V" or right click mouse and select paste.



You should now see something like: "IMG  http://i609.photobucket.com/albums/tt180/JamminJim_photo/leather%20and%20crafts/Beadwork/100_1785_zps090d8d8d.jpg  /img"  with the IMG and /IMG in brackets - these are programing items to convert the text to the picture and are very important!
In your post.  All you need to do now is save the post and it should display the picture.

A couple of tips:  I always add a blank line before and after each picture to separate them. 
I also modify my pictures using the photobucket editor to resize them so they are not so large.   
I hope this helps .  Please feel free to pm me with any comments on how I can make this a better tutorial.
