Default Re: Step x Step = Posting Pictures

Not trying to hi-jack this tread, but thought I'd add the process I use from a PC. Hope this isn't take the wrong way.

I don’t like to do a lot of on my cell phone and would rather use my desk top PC, so I thought I’d add this to the mix for anyone who might like to use it.

Posting a picture from your PC


1- Take a picture with any “device” (camera, phone, etc.) and saved it to a folder on your PC

2- Open a free account with a photo hosting website. I prefer FLICKR, but there are numerous ones available – just google “photo sharing” to find others.

3- Assuming you’re using FLCKR, open it and open the folder containing the picture you want to post, simultaneously.

4-Placing the cursor pointer on the picture, left click & drag the picture from the folder to FLICKR and release.

5-A notice in the upper right-hand corner of the FLICKR screen will ask for you to “Refresh” – left click on ‘Refresh’ and the picture will appear.

6-Double left click on the picture on FLICKR and left click on “View on photo page” on the lower right-hand corner of the screen. (Note: you may have to enlarge the screen to view the arrow).

7- A new screen will appear – Left click on the arrow pointing to the right, at the lower right-hand corner of the page. (Note, for some reason, I had to do this twice when I just tried it).

8-That will take you to a screen titled “Sharing 1 photo to:”

9- in the boxon that screen, left click on “BBCode. There will be a lower, rectangular box with a drop down menu that you can choose the size of the pic that you want posted. I usually choose ‘medium (640x480). Left click on the size desired.

10-In the large rectangular box above the size box, will be the picture’s URL code. Left click on the URL code to highlight it, then right click on it and select “Copy” from the drop down menu.

11- Return to where you want to post the picture to, place the cursor where you want the picture to appear and left click to get to the drop down menu, then right click on “paste” – your picture should appear as code, so just click on “post” and the actual picture will appear on the post.

This seems like a lot of steps, but once you have done it, there are a couple of steps that will be automatic. The nice thing is that all the pictures you send to FLICKR are available in the folder on your PC, should FLICKR go away for any reason.
