Sadly, I can not help you with the first step.
The first step is to take a digital picture and get it onto your computer.
The ideal way to do this is to buy a digital camera. However, if you
don't have a digital camera your local Kodak processing center, CVS,
Wal-Mart, etc. can take your film and give you a cd-rom filled with digital
images. |
 |
Woodnet.net will not store your pictures.
Instead, you have to find another website that will host your photos and
allow remote linking (the ability to display an image on site A even though
it's hosted on site B.). There are a lot of places to upload your
photos but most do not allow remote linking. Fortunately,
woodworkersweb.com is run by a
woodnet forum member,
Galen. Under the grey bar, on the right side of the
screen, click on register. |
 |
Read the text and agree to being over 13 years
of age. |
 |
Next, you need to fill out the form. Only
the first four fields need to be filled out. However, filling out the
entire form would be a nice thing to do. After this, wait for the
confirmation email. |
 |
When the confirmation email arrives you need to
click on the hyperlink to activate your account. |
 |
Your next step is to login. If you don't
log in you can't name your gallery. If you can't name your gallery you'll
have a very hard time finding it again. |
 |
Click on "Woodworkers Image Gallery".
It's toward the top of the screen and highlighted in white in this picture.
Next, click on "woodworker's user image gallery". That's the lower
left image that's only partially visible on the screen. |
 |
Now you're ready to create your own gallery.
You start by clicking on "new nested gallery". It's above the pictures
on the right of the screen. |
 |
Where it reads, "[captions] [properties]
[permissions] etc. etc." click on properties and insert an album title.
This is important, albums without titles may be removed by the
WoodworkersWeb administrator. |
 |
In the right center of this picture you'll find
a link the reads "add photos". Click on that. |
 |
The step above will launch a pop up window.
You can either choose the files you want to upload (my example uploads one
file) or you can choose a directory of files by filling up the lower part of
the form. For my example, I'll click the upload now button next. |
 |
When the files are
uploaded and processed click on the Dismiss button. |
 |
Go back to your
browser window and click on reload (or use the F5 button) to reload the
page. You'll see smaller versions of the images that you uploaded.
Click on the image that you want to see in its full size. (That
"clicking" step is often overlooked) |
 |
Mozilla Users Only (IE users skip this step)
If you use mozilla as your browser, you can simple right click on the
image and choose "Copy Image Location". |
 |
Internet Explorer
Users Only (Mozilla users skip this step) If you use Internet Explorer
(most people do) there are two steps to getting the image location.
The first is to right click on the image and choose "Properties". |
 |
Internet Explorer
Users Only (Mozilla users skip this step) The next step is to
highlight the location of the image and copy it into the clipboard.
This is done by either pressing "Ctrl-C" or right clicking on the
highlighted text and choosing copy. |
 |
Now over at
woodnet.net, create a new thread. When you're ready to embed your
image, click on the image link below the text box you normally type into.
It's in the top row on the right. |
 |
When you click on the
image a window will pop up and you'll be asked for the location of the
image. Press "Ctrl-V" here to copy the location of the image
into the box. It should still have the location
(URL) of the image over at Woodworker's Web. If it doesn't, open another
browser, go there, and try the directions described two or three steps up.
This will add UBB code to your message. It should look something like
this: [image]http://www.woodworkersweb.com/...cherryBed.sized.jpg[/image] (I
replaced some of the URL with ...)
That will tell the application to go get the image from Woodworker's Web. |
 |
Click on continue and
preview your thread. You should see your image embedded in your
message. If it's all ok, click on "Continue" one more time and viola,
you're all done. |
