I will attempt to show you how to upload graphics.

1. Have a place to host them on the web. I use https://postimages.org/

2. Have notepad with these in it available on you desktop.

NOTE all quotation marks I am putting in here must be removed or replaced by something (graphic name/location, width info etc)

NOTE in wordpad you won't have to use the Xs and Ys

Ximg src="insertpichere" width=200YX/imgY

Change the Xs and Ys with

X is <

Y is >

3. Find/make your graphic

4. Use site in step one to convert it. You can name it whatever you want to.

5. Copy the DIRECT LINK from the site and put it into the line where "insert picture" is

6. Preview it for size. If it is too small change the width=200 to width 400 or whatever is going to work.

7. Preview it til it looks right. Maybe even paste it into word to see the size there.

8. When you think you have it right put it in a thread. If the size needs adjusting you will know next time about what it should be.

Hope this helps. If not it will be easier if I explain it on the phone.

Ooookay, I tried to explain my method and inadvertently did something stupid (not uncommon). I asked mods to delete it.

No Doll, I THINK I have what you explained, is this it? I do not want to post images on the web as my life is complex enough and I am ALWAYS behind.... so if I find neat things I can post em. I do keep instructions on a document on my desktop but sadly I cannot find the directions explaining how to size an image merely inserting the words small, medium or large (someplace in the mix). I am taking off the < and > so it doesn’t work and Do Bad Things, I will replace them with X.

Ximg src=” [insert url] “></imgX

I now am trying to size using this method that someone freepmailed me:

Ximg src=”URL”width=”99%”X
**IF you want it to be less than full size, REPLACE 99 with whatever percentage of the page width you want.**

Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t seem to. Could easily be doing it wrong.
