Ok, So we want to post photos on FAOL.

There are s few steps to do first before we can post photos for all the world to drool over.
  • the photos need be "housed" somewhere on the Internet[/*:m:307e4]
  • you need to "reference" the photo so that it "appears" in the thread on FAOL.[/*:m:307e4]

First off you need to send the photo from your computer TO the internet. As said earlier a place one can use is photobucket.com ... a free site that houses images. I just opened an account, it took about 3 minutes.

You follow the instruction at PhotoBucket and upload a photo from your computer to PhotoBucket. In my example, I sent a file called fcch_ava64.jpg

Second, you need to write a posting here on FAOL and put into it the appropriate UBB code.

Ubb code is those [] characters and stuff that help us format the posting with boldface, colors etc. Further, the codes let us reference other web pages .... and ... Photos.

So, I sent a photo to photobucket and want it to appear in this post. I type into the post:



and this picture (should) appear


Question, how do you know what to type.

In photobucket, once the image is posted there, in your album, you'll see the URL in a window. That is the "adress" you add in between the and such as [url=http://www3.sympatico.ca/chris_chin/index_files/104-0442_IMG.jpg:307e4]http://www3.sympatico.ca/chris_chin/index_files/104-0442_IMG.jpg[/url:307e4]


So if I add this "adress" or URL in between the and

We (should) see:



Hope this helps ...
(work in progress)
