Ok,
Your sick of putting tiny pictures into your posts or crunching them down so the attachment feature on this board will accept it. But you want the world to see your new Snap on Impact wrench in all its grandeur but don't know how.
Number #1 - You have to link your photos in using a photo link site. No other way.
Here is how you do it with Photobucket.
When you link in your photos with Photobucket you are not constrained by photo size like an attachment, and don't have to be logged in to the Garage Journal see the photo in your post. This tutorial is all linked to Photobucket photos. (As are all my pictures that I use in my posts)
The service is FREE!!! and takes only about 3 minutes to set up an account! So get out there and start posting your large photos of your goodies for all of us to see!!!
BTW - There are other photo linking services, but I will cover how to do it on Photobucket.
Step 1. Get an account with Photobucket.
http://photobucket.com
I named my account the same as I did my screen-name here for easy reference and just to be able to remember it. Blacknwhitepit
Step 2. Select the photo you want to use. If you already have the photo saved on your computer skip to Step 3. If you want to use something from a website, most times you can right click on it and scroll down to where is says
Save Picture As
or
Save Target As
Select a destination folder or desktop and save the photo.
like so:
Note that I saved the file as a JPG under the name Snap on Example photo in the Example Folder
Step 3. Log into the Photobucket website and load the photo into Photobucket like so.
Here comes the fun part!
Step 4. Now come back to the Garage Journal and post your message!
When you want to put in a picture do the following:
******* NOTE - The script for the picture will pop up where your cursor is! *************
******* NOTE - The script for the picture will pop up where your cursor is! *************
NOTES:
This photo was small to begin with. Other JPG's will come out as different sizes. Your personal photos should show up in full screen.
This is a very simplified way of doing it, you can save multiple pictures with Photobucket at once.
Also I am running Windows Vista, your screens may look different, but the actions should be the same.
Whole screen shots are done with the function(FN) or control (CTRL) and printscreen buttons held down together on your computer (Depends on the computer). I then open up Microsoft Powerpoint and right click paste them in, then save them as JPG's. There probably is an easier way to do this, but this works for me.
If you have any questions feel free to PM me.
