I know there has been some discussion about posting pictures directly on the forum, but I have not understood what people were talking about - I am somewhat computer challenged. Could anyone give step by step directions for doing it?
Mary  Thanks

Hi Mary. See my instructions in the post just before this one ("posting photos"). As for how to do it on one of the photo sites, someone else will have to answer that for you, as I haven't done that myself.
Good luck!

Sorry Carol, I know there was some discussion previously but it does not come up when I click on technical support. When I opened this forum to study the information it said "no topics found" which is why I asked the question. I checked back on a few other forums and it looks like if there has been no discussion or entries for a while it just says "no topics found". They have apparently disappeared into cyber space.............

hi mary .. i either posted or e-mailed instructions (as to how i post them) .. but can't remember which it was. (probably e-mailed one of the farmgirls).
let's see if i can pull it together again:
as carol had posted, you have to go to a 'picture' website .. someone suggested photobucket to me: just 'goggle' or search the web for Photobucket.com
when it pops up .. just follow the instructions for 'signing up' (there is no fee for this .. oh happy day!) there are pretty clear directions .. lordy chile' . if "I" can do it .. you can do it! i then put my camera disk with photos in my computer .. went to my photoshop program on my computer and 'edited them' (mostly flipped them right side up!) .. THEN .. go back to photobucket (after you have an account) and 'browse' .. point and click the picture you want to post .. then UPLOAD them to photobucket.
NOW .. after all that is done ... come back to the 'connection' .. and to POST a photo .. you have to go to the top of the page .. where it says Reply To Topic (this is under the LOGOUT) box. click on Reply To Topic ... a line with some sybols will appear abouve the reply box. click on the mountain icon (i think it is the fourth from the right). img img will appear ... gooooooooo back to photobucket .. click on the IMG box under the picture (the bottom one) (do the edit/copy) thingie ... .. it will be highlighted .. now HOP on back over to the connection and INSERT it by (copy paste) it smack dab in between the two img's .. and VOILA .. it the info (NOT the photo) will show up. NOW .. submit your reply .. and your photos SHOULD BE right there in your message.
hopefully, i've remembered all this correctly. if it doesn't work for you at some point, let me know .. and i'll try and be clearer.
it sounds like a 'lot of stuff to do' .. but honestly, it's like riding a bike .. or learning to type .. once you've learned .. it's a 'piece of cake!'!
good luck .. and we'll be lookin' for your pictures! xo, frannie

Thanks Michele, It's not a full size bed quilt, rather a cuddle quilt. It was made for the counselor at our elementary school who retired last year. I had help from some of the other staff in the cutting and the quilting was all straight lines, so it did not take very long. Thanks for the compliment.
Mary
P.S. She is Irish and the darker fabric has little shamrocks on it in colors of gold greeen and red, hence the red border.

Mary -- the quilt is gorgeous!! I've been wanting to do a nine patch for my first quilt and this one has given me inspiration. You will have to adjust the size of your picture before you post it to the photo hosting service. If you can adjust the size by pixels then 300 to 350 is a good size.

Hi Mary. Glad you figured it out! But I just see the little broken link symbol on all your photo links on this page. Sounds like others saw them at some point. Did you remove them?
Thanks!

Broken link symbol?
Ooops! I see it now too! No, I did not remove the pictures. Do you know what might have happened?

Carol, No reason to keep this branch of the photo topic open......it simply duplicates what was said before.........if you can delete it go ahead.

Hi Mary. I think we'll keep this topic, since it has Frannie's instructions for Photo Bucket. But, I still don't see any of your pictures. And when I go to the link at the photo site (http://photobucket.com/albums/c122/quilt8305/), it says there are no photos there. So, looks to me like what you are doing here on our site is working (linking to your photos on another site), but what is happening on Photo Bucket is a problem. Maybe look again on there and see if you can figure out what happened to the photos?
Good luck!

Photobucket says you can't resize up in size once you have sized down. 50% is what I used and it worked. I think my photos disappeared because I moved them to an album on the photobucket site.

Frannie - all of my photos came out huge at first, too!!! When you're in photobucket in your albums,there should be buttons above each photo, and one will say "Edit" - click there and resize to 25% just to see what happens, then click the button below the photo to change it - I think it says "Submit" but I'm not sure, then re-do the link in your posting. Hopefully that will work!!!
XOXO, Libbie
