Posting all of them is easier if you go to a "Host Site" like Photobucket, Picasa, Flickr, etc..., and you upload them there first (you have too this message board and most others only use computer shortcuts and laungage to read them from another site called a host site) then you just use the short cut links above that says URL - click in the box above that says URL which will generate the follow sybol inside this dialog box [url]then directly on the other side copy and paste the address from the task bar that is the host site to your pictures (not the one to log into the host site, the one that goes directly to your pictures inside that host site) once you copy and paste that address then you click on the box above again and it will put the second bracket around your shortcut [ /url] Notice that this one has bracket, forward slash, url, bracket that tells the computer to only use what's between the two to go to that shortcut, you can get fanzy and make it read the word "Pictures Here" by doing slightly different both examples below.

1) Right facing Bracket, url, left facing Bracket, (followed by shortcut address which reads) http:// name of the host site, Right facing bracket, forward slash, url, Left facing bracket - this would look like this

(I used one of my albums from last winter)

2) Right facing Bracket, url, =(equals sign)(followed by shortcut address which reads) http:// name of the host site (notice that the short cut goes inside the first two brackets instead of between the closed ones?)left facing Bracket,(Now you put the short cut words you want here like "MY Pictures", Right facing bracket,forward slash, url, Left facing bracket - this would look like this
[ url=http://s908.photobucket.com/albums/ac287/CharlieMacbob/Galena%20Gauntlet%20Part%20Duex%2003-20-2010/?albumview=slideshow]MY Pictures[/url] and leave no room between the symbols or letters or it will not come out right, I had to add spaces for you to be able to read this in it's entirety or it would have given short cuts all over this posting of which you would not be able to see the computer laungage, only I would at my end because I posted the message with the shortcuts.

Play with it, it's not as hard as it looks.

Hi John, enjoyed snowshoeing with you a lot - if you can't post - let me know and I'll send you my email. I'd enjoy hiking/snowshoeing with you again.

Howdy John

It was a pleasure to snowshoe with you, Indie Jack and Hengst Joe last Thursday

Lilbitmo (Patrick) gave great directions for posting pictures. I can also post them if you e-mail them to me (just shoot me a PM).

Howdy Indie

Great to see you on the board

Miles of smiles,
Ellen
