Unsecure chicken perches

[Purplemaniacs]

I would love to share some photos of my new hatchlings but I have never ever managed to put a photo on her OH does occasionally but he is away for the week. So does anyone have an idiots guide

 

Is it through Photobucket still or somewhere else, do I have to register there and do I pay for this?

 

Sorry stupid question but I would like to master this photo thing I have been on here for ages and would love to share some pictures with you all

Photo bucket is free so is flickr

 

Put the photos on the computer,then upload to either, it's dead easy, there is a button called "upload"

 

You can then link the photo to the forum page, next to the photo should be a hyperlink, you copy the link then paste it on the forum page. If you go through the URL thingy at the top it makes it a proper linky

 

Now...I've not done this for ages, there are probably bits I've missed out

 

Good luck!

I use photobucket.

I suggest you create an album (give it a sensible name), upload photos to it.

Under each photo, there are some 'links' - click on the one called 'IMG CODE' - this will automatically copy it.

Then in your forum message, use V to paste the copied code.

Use preview to check all OK.

Here's a step by step. Hope it helps

 

To upload a picture to Photobucket

1. Go to Photobucket and sign up

2. When you have your Photobucket account enter your user name and password

3. Click on green 'upload' button to load up your picture

4. Click large green button that says 'Select photos or videos'

5. From here select the appropriate tab according to whether you wnat to go to the filing system on your PC or to Facebook.

6.Click on the picture you want to upload

7. Click blue button 'Save and continue to my album'

 

To re-size and share it on Omlet

1. In your main Photobucket album, go the picture you want to share and double click on it so you get just that one picture,

2. hover your mouse near the top of your picture and a button saying 'resize' comes up.

3. Select 320 x 240 and

4. click the confirmation button when the 'are you sure' message appears.

5. Then click on the IMG code box on the right which will copy the code that you can then paste (ctrl V) into your Omlet post.

Thank you all for your replies. I am some of the way there now.

 

I have a Photobucket account now. I have to go out this afternoon so I will try to upload some photos to it tonight and then I will see if I can get anything on here

Courage Chrissie. Deep breath and one click at a time. Then next time round you'll find it easy peasy and we'll all be so pleased to see your photos!

Well I have done it I think

 

I have added a picture of Tumble to this post

 

http://club.omlet.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=61&t=88910

 

I had a job with the size, it was too big only some of the image showed up but now I think it is too small.

 

I thought I had altered it to 320x240 as Chubby Chook said but it was too large then I clicked somewhere not sure I can do it again. Any more advice on resizing.

 

Thank you so much for your help I would never have managed it without you.

No it hasn't, take a look again, if it still looks huge, press the refresh button. Sometimes your computer is a bit slow at processing the smaller image, but trust me, its small.

[Purplemaniacs]

Fred you are right Thank you so much or I would have spent anohter couple of hours playing with the photos.

 

I must remember to refresh the screen.

 

Thanks Fred you are a star
