I am not computer literate, so could somebody please explain in a very simple way on how I can post a photo.

I have a kodak program in my computer where my photo's are if that is any help. I just don't know how to get to them from here to see what photo I want.

Thanks Dearra

To add an image to a post...

In a new post or reply, below the "Post a Reply" area you will see, "Add an Attachment"

In the Filename field, hit the Browse button.

It will open a seperate box which gives you access to your files on your computer. in the "Look in" box at the top (using Internet Explorer) search for the required image file.

Once you locate the image, click on it so the file name appears in the "File Name" field, then click the "Open" button.

If you want to add a comment, do so in the "File Comment" field, then either click "Add Attachment" if you want to add another image (maximum of 3 per post), or "Submit" to post the message and image.

If the photo is already online, just use the IMG tags

OK I am really dense when it come to computers. I did everything that was explained to me but now it keeps saying the attachment is too big.

Could somebody please explain to me in simple terms how to make the photo smaller. Do I have to have a certain program to do it.

Thanks heaps
Dearra

u need to resize ur picture to no more than 128kb
usually around 800x600 pixels will fit, depending on the picture quality.
u can use this to resize it and it's "freeware"
http://picasa.google.com.au/#utm_campaign=en&utm_source=en-ha-apac-au-google&utm_medium=ha&utm_term=photo%20resizing
just move the mouse over the file and a box should flash up and it will show the pixel size or right click on the file and go down to properties and it will tell u
or another way is to upload it to www.photobucket.com and it will resize it too 800x600 by default...
HTH...
