Best way to post pictures!

Trying to figure out how to post pictures on forum of my build. Any help would be appreciated.

Welcome to the ring smokstaclightning, looking forward to seeing some pics of your cooks and your cooker build.
Here is a link to a tutorial using photobucket. Please re-size your pics to 640 x 480 to help SoEzzy our moderator.

Excellent advice..

I recently posted my first pics and with the tutorial and some past knowledge of photobucket it was a snap.

Resizing the pics took longer and uploading and posting.

You may want to set your camera to take pics within the posting limit range and you will not have to resize.

I like looking in the post and seeing the pictures. I hate sites or boards when you have to post links.

I had good results using picasa. I already had an account and just didn't want to set up ANOTHER online account.

You can create albums to organize. When you view a photo in our account, on the right side there is hypertext that says "Link to this Photo"

When you click on that link there are two options, Link or Embed.

Below the Embed, check the box for "Image Only" then select the size (640).

Finally go to the Embed box and select all the text. Past that into your post on this blog and surround it with "[img]<link>[/img]" where <link> is the link you pasted in.

It was a snap and an option for those who don't want to use photobucket.

Just my 2 cents as a newb to the site.

If you use photo bucket, there is an option or setting for picture size. set them. set that to a usable size before you upload. then it will size them automatically.

Why the size limit? Do they take up to much space/memory? Also with the size limit is that limiting the pixel size or the physical picture size? Just curious??? Im not much of a tech guru and my curiosity gets the better of me sometimes. Also is there a way to post a picture off of face book or a web site. I have a lot of pictures on face book and dont want to reload them? Thanks Caleb

There isn't any need for pictures much bigger than that, although the days of the 56 k modem are limited, they are not gone quite yet.

When the pictures break the site format, folks have to scroll sideways, personally I hate having to scroll sideways and it makes it harder to moderate the forum, so for the end of the old year beginning of the new, I put my foot down and began to ask folks to be reasonable.

Lots of sites go with tiny thumbnails or just links, no images at all, the members here turn out some great pictures of food and pits, is it such a large imposition to ask that they be of a fair size... not too small, not too big?

This helped me out too. I introduced myself and previewed it and saw pics, posted it and got links . I'll resize in the future!!
