How do I put a picture in a post

[kajero]

I keep trying but can't figure it out. How do I put a photo in a post?

Thanks

There are two ways:

1. If you have the picture on a web site, you can use the picture icon to embed the picture by providing a link to the picture on your web site (whether it is Picasa or Flickr...). To use the "link method," click on the picture icon (second row in the toolbar as you compose a post, 5th from the right, looks like a mountain on yellow background)
2. As an attachment to the post, click on the paper clip icon to upload it.

I am using Snapfish. I tried to do what you said but my photo doesn't show up. Any suggestions? I have some road bike shoes I want to give away and would like to show some photos of them.

I could be wrong but I think the issue with snapfish is that it isn't a public site. I'd have to be invited to see your photos on snapfish. Sites like photobucket and flickr are ones with a public setting, so if you link to it here, it will show up here.

You can upload a picture. When you are posting, down below the box your are typing in, there is a section called "attach files". Click manage attachments and you should be able to upload your picture that way. The picture would have to be on your computer - not on snapfish - for that to work.

When I attach the photos they don't show either. Maybe i am attaching them wrong?

The only way I've been able to put a picture in is to use the attach files function. I just have DH send me the pictures I want to post from wherever he has them stored (we've used several sites). Since you can only post 5 in a post, it's not too terrible.
