Posting photos...

I apologize if this is the wrong place to pose this question, but I want to post a photograph. How is this done?

I post them from Photobucket. You can open a free Photobucket account and upload the photos to that account. Copy the IMG link that accompanies your photo and paste it in your post here. The photo remains at Photobucket, but magically looks like it is here.

It's not a bad idea to resize the photo (either in your own software or in Photobucket) to no more that 600 pixels in the longest dimension, otherwise people using Internet Explorer get some minor but irritating image size problems. You can also upload the photo to photobucket and copy and paste a "Direct Link" here; the photo won't appear in TeaChat, but the link will take people to it.

You can paste a small (600 px) photo in here and link to a larger image (if you have both in photobucket) or a different image or a slide show by filling your Direct Links into the following formula in a TeaChat post:

DIRECT LINK BIG PIC[/color]][img]DIRECT%20LINK%20SMALL%20PIC[/img]

Good, now for lesson 2:

You can embed the photos into your post by either:

1) typing [img]%20immediately%20before%20the%20link%20(no%20space)%20and[/img] immediately after the link


OR

2) highlight the link and press the square IMG button above the box where you type your text. The TeaChat software will automatically place the [img]%20and%20[/img] before and after you link.


You can go back over your previous posts, press EDIT to add make these changes and the photos will appear in your post.

You can look to see how I have embedded the photos in your post below by pressing the QUOTE button.

(BTW, looks like some delicious tea!)

It's a 2004 that I picked up at Seven Cups here in Denver. Not bad for $47, or so I think...first impressions have been good.

Here is a link
