Hi Doyle,

Posting pictures is really quite easy. First off, you'll need a web-server to host your images. If you don't have access to one, you should be able to get an account (and a free webpage) at Yahoo (Geocities) or some similar site. Also, a number of people who frequent this BB have mentioned Photopoint.com. I've not investigated it myself, but seems a good way to get your images on the web. Here's roughly what you need to do:

1) Scan your images. Save the image as a jpeg (results in smaller file size, and correspongingly shorter download time, and avoid the GIF controversy raging around the net).

2) Upload your images to your webpage (or yahoo, photopoint, etc.).

3) Enter the URL for the images on your webpage in the "Optional Image URL" dialog box when you compose your KB-bbs post.

Hope this helps, and I'm looking forward to seeing your Coho!

Nick
