Just a test of Picasa

Won't work that way, guess I willl just go to photobucket
Now I think I understand how to use the progeam and it is easy.

It worked, for a direct length to photo the link should start with img and end with /img I left the []s off. I use mainly photobucket for my photos and do all editing on my computer.

OK photobucket works now just got to reduce the picture size

OK, here's how to post pix from picassaweb:

1-Go to the picture's page in another tab/window
2-On the right, there will be a link/button for "link to this image" ... click that and you will get options
3-Pick a size to embed (I generally use "medium")
4-Click the "image only/no link" option
5-Copy/paste the text now in the "embed" box into the forum post, and put "img" "/img" HTML tags on it either manually or with the buttons above your "Message body" box but below the "subject" box.
6-Use the "preview" button to make sure you didn't bork it somehow, generally if I make a mistake it is that I didn't copy/paste the full image location from the "embed" box over on picassaweb

Notes:
A-generally, you will want to embed the image without an album link, like I did above
B-The "img" and "/img" should have brackets (these things --> [hurgleburgle] around them, the one without a "/" is the start, and the one with the "/" is the end
C-For Vbulletin forums (THR/RFC style) there will be a little icon with a "landscape" on it for picture posting, do the same from above, but paste the info from the "embed" box into the popup that opens when you hit that landscape button.

Thanks BFD, will give it a try.then I will have 2 method. Got photobucket working now and it works fine.

Thanks BFD, after a couple of no flies it did fly. Could not have done it without your expert instructions.
Picture is my oldest son trout fishing on the Yampa near his home in Steamboat Springs CO. He has like 5 to 10 minutes from home to fishing

As a rule I always change the size on uplink to a 640x480. This works on all forums and will not overrun a page like an unsized photos from digital cameras. It will also load at a decent speed if someone is on dial-up.

Excellent, dave. Works like a charm.

Thanks

Ok, Thanks for the instructions posted. I think I have the photo posting process down now.

This is getting easier all the time, thanks to Bigfatdave.
