    Hi,

    I decided to write a quick tutorial on how to do it. First of all, do yourself a favour and leave old browsers right now. Internet Explorer 7, 8, etc...

    Just download and install a modern one, like Google Chrome or Firefox. Don't go ahead until you really do this. Really.

    Then prepare your photos. If you want some advice on how to take then, you can take a read on various articles in my website.

    After you have them, it's a good idea to downsize them to about 1-2 Megapixels. The more you have, the more you will last to upload... and the more we have to wait to see them.

    You can use free imaging software like Xnview or Picasa. If you are using Picasa, which I highly recommend, after installing it, be sure to add the folder that contains the photos:

    then select the images you want to downsize (they appear here with a thin blue border):

    Downsizing images 02.png

    Now prepare to Export them:

    Downsizing images 03.png

    And select these options:

    Click Export and you are done. Then, click on 'Upload file':

    Then a window will appear. select all the photos you like. You know, hold Ctrl key (Cmd in Mac) while you clic over the images to select more than one. Then, clic OK and you will start uploading them:

    how upload photos - 02 select photos.png

    After a few moments, upload will end:

    Now it's time to start writing. You can just write and post it. If you prefer to insert images between paragraphs, do write and when you want to insert an image just place the cursor and click over 'Thumbnail' on the image you want:

    how upload photos - 04 insert.png


    so it will appear:

    how upload photos - 05 inserted.png

    That's it!

    If you want to center it, click here:

    How to insert all the images you uploaded

    Just DON'T click over "Insert every image as a..." like shown here:

    how upload photos - 07 insert all.png

    because that's what you'll get:

    [​IMG]

    The images get placed like big letters in a text. To re-arrange you'll have to place the cursor between them and hit Intro:

    how upload photos - 09 inserting enter.png

    A much better way is to insert them one by one. Place the cursor, insert a thumbnail, hit Intro twice to go down two lines, click Insert again... and so on.


    How to upload an image from another website

    first of all, go to the other website and right click over the image. Copy its address:

    how upload photos - 11 copy image address.png

    then click over this button:

    how upload photos - 12 insert image button.png

    And paste the copied address:

    how upload photos - 13 paste image address.png

    Click Insert, and that's it!

    NOTE: The image will remain stored in the other website and NOT copied to this one. That means that image services like tinypic, Imageshack... will delete them after some time. And they will dissappear from here. If you want a copy here, donwload them and upload here.


    How to add a link to your image:

    select it (so it becomes blueish) and click here:

    how upload photos - 05 put a link.png

    And then write your link:

    how upload photos - 06 link.png

    That's useful for your auctions.
