In Response To: Spidey's way. (John Monfoe)

: It was a hit and miss posting pictures thing for me until Spidey said to do
: it this way and it has always worked for me.

: HIGHLIGHT WHATEVER IT IS YOU WISH TO COPY AND, on your keyboard, PRESS
: "CTRL-C" (TO COPY). THEN GO TO WHERE YOU WANT TO PASTE IT AND
: CLICK TO PUT YOUR CURSOR THERE, THEN PRESS "CTRL-V" (TO PASTE).

That's pretty much what I have been doing. The full sequence is:

Download from camera to PC
Edit in PC
Upload to Yahoo Geocities
Go to Yahoo File Manager
Click on new pic to make sure it comes up in new window
CTRL-C highlighted URL
CTRL-V in Optional Image URL box
Delete extra "http://"
Preview Message
Play with it if necessary
Post it

If the pic comes up on the Preview, why do you suppose it does not always show up for other users? Maybe it really is a browser thing. Or a Yahoo thing. But Shawn Baker put me on to Yahoo, and his always seem to work. I opened a Photopoint account and an Ofoto account too, we'll see what works best. Thanks again.
