FAQ How do I post my own images on the Internet? (Here's an easy way)

Posting on the web can be a daunting task for computer novices. The easiest way I have found for computer challenged folk is to sign up for a free photo account. Currently, a free hosting service is www.imagestation.com. With the recent demise of Photopoint and Zing, I would be wary of any free based service. The absolute best way is to use whatever free space your own ISP provides.

If you follow their easy sign up procedure and instructions, you can be well on your way to uploading all of your many
images for free to your own webspace. From there, it is a matter of just posting the "link" to the photo you wish to
show here on Broadarrow (the easiest way). Once you get comfortable uploading images, you can even explore HTML
and post images direct to this site (a bit harder), just like the oldtimers.

The format for posting images to this site is:

h**remove**ttp://www.yourwebspace.com/yourimage.jpg

I find the easiest way (with Netscape) is to right click on the image and and then paste the entire URL directly into
the HTML.

Wherever you see [ or this ], use < . I can't show you using < because it would try to post an image.

The command to center your images is [center] and to turn off centering [/center]. These commands must appear in
pairs to work.

The command to put spaces between multiple pictures is [p]

If you are successful, you will see images when you click preview (post away). If you forgot something, you will have
broken links when you click preview (don't post).

Regards,

Bob
