aaaaaah. Well....ok... here is a little run down on posting pictures.. Now... firstly I am guessing you know how to get the pics off the camera into the PC. Basically copy them to whatever location u need. then, there are a number of options...I personally recommend www.flickr.com . You can make an account there...its basically your yahoo account or a rogers yahoo account if you use rogers internet service. Then you can upload your pics there. there is a way to get a link to post here. Once uploaded... you click on your image and wait for it to open in its own page. Then in that page...there is a tab bar at the top of the image among which u see 'all sizes'. Generally medium size is good or large is good. Click and it will open in its own page. If you scroll down you can see 2 text boxes. The second one is a single line one which begins with a farm.flickr.com or something. Select that entire URL and paste it in your message here. Now wrap the front and back of the url with [img] and [/img] respectively. Thaat should do it. Don't hesitate to ask if i confused you. I can make u a little picture tutorial. There are other easier sites to upload to...but flickr is good to keep a nice online picture library. I use it. I have over 900 images in my account.
