I don't know where I should have placed this, so I stuck it here. I'm not very computer literate, and want to post some pics of an Auto Strop I recently acquired. How do I do that? Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Alan. I am an Auto Strop junkie so I hope you are successful posting some pics!! This site does not allow to upload directly from a computer but needs to have a web address to load from. For example, if you wanted to post the TOS icon at the top of this page (and really any image on the internet) you can right click it, then click Copy Image LocationClick on the icon that looks like a small postcard above the message window when you are writing a message , the one on the second row of editing options. You end up having the computer add two boxes with the text 'img' inside. You insert your cursor between the two boxes and paste in the web address of the picture you are copying. I have done this just below:  To place pictures that you have taken onto this site. You need to upload them onto the internet. There are free photo host sites such as photobucket.com where you have to open an account and then load your photos from your computer onto the site. That is where the TOS icon above is stored - at photobucket. That is also where I have placed any photos that I need to load onto the site. Then you can go to the photo, and there is a place to copy the location (hover over the picture and then click 'direct link' which auto copies the address for you )of the image - the web address - and then you paste it in here as described. YEP - you are thinking ' what a lot of work!!'. Yeah it is. That is why you don't see lots of photos on this web site. But that is what it is. But once you have stuff loaded - you can just stick it in whenever you like!  |

It is easy to upload a picture from your computer. Just click on the browse button up there. Then choose the location and name of the pic you want to use. Attachments:
