I see several of you are using Flickr for your photos,could someone please help by telling me exactly how to work this ,I am not very good with Computers.
Just managed to work the last Forum one just before it vanished.
Thanks in anticipation, Jean

First part of Jean's post applies to me also. Can the clever person who replies( hopefully) make it simple. Do.

I'm there with you Do...have not got a clue what to do!

Okay ladies, firstly you need to upload your photo onto flickr. If any of you are having trouble with this let me know and i will post instructions on how to do it.

To start off go into your LH post and type what you want it to say. Then when you want to add a photo type [img] [/img]

Then go to your flickr account and click on the photo you want. It opens up bigger and you have options along the top to edit it etc. Click on the 'all sizes' button with the little magnifying glass. It will open up in another screen and you will get a list of available sizes along the top. Select a size, whichever you prefer.

Then if you scroll down you will see option1 and 2 for linking the photo to other websites. If you right click on the link under option 2 it will highlight it for you and bring up a list of options, click on copy.

Then go back to your LH post and right click inbetween the two 'img' bits you typed earlier and choose paste. Make sure there are no spaces between the 'img' bits and the link.

Once you are happy with your post hit the preview button and check that the photo is appearing. If you see text where the photo should be it's either because you have a gap betweeen the 'img' bit and the link or you have deleted one of the [] brackets from around the 'img' bit by accident.

Bit time consuming at first but not too bad once you get the hang of it.

Hope this helps but if anyone gets stuck give me a shout.

Thank you Alana will give it a go - trouble is I forgot to take pictures of my stuff before I sent it to Lou - never mind alway the winter challenge.
Many thanks have a great weekend - an extra hour on Sunday

Alana is so clever and gives such clear instructions, if I can do it everyone will be able to.
Thanks a million Alana.
