Hi!

Well, I finally got some pictures of my under construction layout, opened up a Photobucket account and loaded them on that site. Soooo, now I need some guidance so I can post some of them on this site.

Yes, I know this has been addressed many times before, and would appreciate it if you could advise which of these sets of directions would be best for a semi literate ol guy like myself.

Thank you for your indulgence!!

Posting photos can become addictive so plan your albums in Photo Bucket in advance.

As you post more photos, you can easily lose track of where particular photos are located in just the main album when you signed up. If you move a photo to another album you have posted, the photo will disappear in the forum you posted it in.

The beauty of all this is, you can delete the photo from Photo Bucket if the photo does not look good enough. You can also edit the message in these forums and remove the photo and post a new one. Once in a while I have done that.

PhotoBucket is EZ. Under every pic is a list of codes. (should be 4) The bottom one is an [img] code. Copy that and paste it into the thread or reply your posting. Hit “enter” (or space bar) after you paste the link.

Done!

Hi!

You all never cease to amaze me!!! Thank you!

This afternoon I’ll go to the posting I started months ago regarding building the replacement 11x15 RR and post a picture or 3.

As an aside… Ten years ago I got a sizeable bonus (wow, what a concept), and did something I had never done before - or since. I went to the biggest camera store in Houston and spent $850 on the “best” digital camera they had at that time (other than professional models). It was an Olympus with 3x zoom and a whopping 2 mgs! As you could guess, in a year it was obsolete - but it still gives fairly good pictures. Today, you can pick up a 10-12 mg highly rated (by comsumer reports) camera with all the bells and whistles for well under $300! Sounds like a nice Christmas gift down the road.

Thanks again,
