To show a picture on the forum it can be hosted on your blog, a fotopic, photobucket, picasa or similar hosting site. Or you can add it by linking as an attachment...
so firstly if you want to use the gallery:
You will need to join the gallery before submitting pictures or comments to the gallery, it is not linked to the forum, although you can use the same details.
File SizeMake sure your pic is below this size: 200Kb, 750x750px
I suggest cards are good at around 400 pxs wide (portrait) and Scrapbook pages will need to be bigger around 600pxs is good and always add another pic for the journaling, Any bigger and they are difficult to view. It is always best to crop off all the ‘extra’ around the picture.
File Name...You must
choose a unique name of your photo, it will not like it if there has been one before - it doesn't matter where. You will get an error message at the top of your screen.
So I suggest you add the date in the file name eg carolyn_010506 then it will make it unique.
To Add Your ImageLog in click add
Then you will get a screen where you need to select your photo on your PC using the browse button.
The description will appear immediately below your picture and all the other bits will be in summary below. Check out some submitted photos first to see how they look.
The keywords will be used by the search, so add words of the things you have used. That way if someone wants to find something made with say staples, they can pop that in the search and hey presto it will come back!
Lastly you will need to select a category, click on the arrow at the edge of the box and it will give you the options.
You will have a little
message towards the top of your screen to say you have submitted your photo
