I have been asked to post my instructions for posting a picture here, so various moderators can link instructions for travelers who want to post pictures. Before you follow the directions, you may want to reduce the size of the photo, in order to reduce the bandwidth consumed by extra large photos. I use several free programs that I have downloaded from cnet or zdnet. Asquare makes the images square, but you must crop some of the photo--this may be undesireable for some photos. Another program is STGThumb, which makes thumbnail photos. I like PictureIt Express, because I can brighten the photo, sharpen the image, and crop out unneeded parts. Another good program is JPEGCompress, which allows you to choose how much compression you want.
Okay, here’s the instructions for posting pictures:
1. Save your pictures on your computer, either by downloading from a digital camera, scanning into the computer, or having them put on disk when you get them developed. (I download directly into my PictureIt Express)
2. Go to Imagestation or Snapfish . (I personally prefer imagestation; fewer downloading problems and the server seems more reliable.)
3. Upload your pictures into an album—name it for your trip so you can find the pix later.
4. Open another browser window, keeping imagestation in the background.
5. Open your thread on ja.com that you want to post pictures in & “post a reply”.
6. Restore the imagestation window by clicking on the taskbar box, click on a picture to be added to your post which enlarges it.
7. When the picture enlarges, right-click the picture, and scroll down to “properties”.
8. Left-click “properties” and a box pops up. In the middle of this box is Address: (URL), the code for the picture. Left-click & drag the cursor over the entire URL for the picture, which highlights (selects) it. Be sure you get it all. Right-click/copy the URL.
9. Click on the taskbar box for ja.com, which returns you to your post reply. Beneath the box for your reply, next to the smilies, are a series of buttons. Look for the IMAGE button and click it.
10. Ctrl-V (paste) the code for your picture into the box and click “ok”—this inserts your picture into your reply.
11. Repeat steps 6–10 for each picture.
