I have a really stupid question

[lorie d.]

I sometimes find interesting or useful information about cats on other websites. I would like to share with others but I don't know how to create a link. Could you please tell me what the steps are?

Are the steps the same for linking to a picture?

What are the steps I take if I want to add a picture or clip art to my posts?

How do I resize a picture if it is too large?

Thanks

Linking is real easy. Any web address you just type here (that starts with http:// ) is automatically posted as an active link.

As for posting pictures, there are two ways -
1. Using a picture that is already uploaded somewhere on the internet. All you need to so is write "IMG" in square brackets, then type the URL of the image (again, something starting with http://) and then type /IMG in square brackets.

2. Use the upload function at the bottom of the page where you post reply. It'll let you choose a file from your hard disk and will display it as a picture. The file has to be relatively small or it won't show.


As for resizing pictures - you need to do that with a graphic software such as Photoshop or PaintShop. If you're having trouble with a specific picture you want posted here - email it to me and I'll do it for you [email protected]
