Help adding photos to Trip Report

[Islandtripper]

I am working on my TR as a newbie and I have a new MAC (well new to me) and just figured out how to put my pics in Iphoto and would love to add some to my TR but I can't figure it out. When I cut and paste it only shows as words. I am really technology challenged so if someone wants to to help, I'll be appreciative. If not, Ill still do a TR as I loved St. John.
Thank you.

I always have to check myself as well. You need to use a photo sharing site. If you do a search I know someoneposted detailed instructions. Think it was California Girl

I use photobucket. Sign up (it's free) upload pic from computer. When pic is uploaded just put cursor on pic, bunch of stuff will drop down under the pic. Left click the IMG code one (last one) and then paste it to your report. Repeat as often as needed. I use the 1024x768 size for my pics. If ya use this site it will make sense when ya get on it.

I post photos either from my online gallery at pbase (copy & paste the URL from the top of the page, add ".jpg" and it works that way), or I upload some photos to the personal webspace that comes with my internet account through Cox. Then I use the same method to post them, except with Cox, the .jpg is already on the URL. Am I making any sense?

When you post the URL that way, be sure you enclose it with Image tags at the top of the form where you post a reply. Highlight the URL of the photo and click "Img" at the top and you will get [img]at%20the%20beginning%20of%20the%20URL%20and[/img] at the end of it, and voila! you've posted a picture!
