How to post a picture or video on Crochettalk theads
Hey Guys!
I noticed some people having difficulty in posting their photos or videos of their work or don't know how to do it at all. So here are the steps that I do to upload the pics that I have.
1. Upload Your Photos Online. I have joined many sites just to keep my online albums intact. If you don't have one and don't mind sharing it to others, you can make an account and then make a separate folder where all your crochet related photos are stored for easy access. Here are some of the sites you can use - Facebook, Picasa, Flickr, and Photobucket.
2. Copy URL image location of your photo. So once you have uploaded your photo, right click the photo you want to share to the thread and click "Copy Image URL".
3. PASTE your image URL on thread or post. Now if you don't know where to paste it, just follow this instruction.
Go to "quick reply" and you will be brought to the "your message" box. Then on the top of the place where you type your message - you will see icons underneathe the "fonts" and"sizes" Now click the icon that looks like a square with a tree. If you hover your arrow on it, it says "Insert Image." Click that and another pop up box appears and thats where you paste your URL.
If you preview your post, you will then see that the photo that you want to be displayed will appear!
A word of caution though, when you upload photos try to make sure that you you set the size of your photo to "web image" size only.
