Posting a Photo in the Body of a Message
This was an elusive deal. Any photo that has a web address can be posted in the body of the message. When you are typing a message, there is a small yellow box with some mountains in it. When you click on this box, a new small box comes up for you to paste the http. address into and the OK or Cancel options.
Now comes the trick. You have to place the photo you want to post onto a web hosting service. Some of these are free, some you can pay for, but the one I use is SmugMug.
When the photo is uploaded to the web, you right click on the photo, select "Properties" and then highlight the web address and right click and "Copy" the address.
Then you paste the address into the window you previously opened and then when you hit OK in that window, it then posts some kind of code into the body of the message. When you hit "Preview", you should be able to see the photo on the preview message pane and when you hit "Submit Reply", you become the "Photo Postasaurus"
I was wondering about the new avatar.....

And this information is coming from a guy that calls the rest of us geeks....?
Jerry, you need to spend more time with your slack adjusters.

Jerry,
Thanks for the geekness.
I can't believe you can't post a photo directly from your harddrive. But OK. I went to Smug and I get a discount if I show a friends email address who is a current user - so fork it over (you can email if you don't want Ken to know your email). I'll have to also deal w/ the right clicking thing since I'm a Mac guy.

I either registered with the first one or the last one. And I think SmugMug is on the rag right now. Maybe some server maintainence. Go figure.

No, I got all that information from Lew.
He is a closet nerd wannabe who moonlights for the Geek Squad when they shut happy hour down.
I just work in the oil field.

Slacker and Mrs. Mango at work. I was made for this business.

I recognize JW. He is the guy in the red coveralls with his hands in his pocket.
Why am I not surprized?

Lookout I'm on a roll now, thanks to JW and SmugMug.
