Bayouchica, do you have your photos that you want to add on a site like Photobucket?

Hi verthandi, yes I do, can you tell me how to? Keep in mind I'm not too comptuer savvy

Thanks so much,Miriam

Hi bayouchica,

I think there will always be an error if you try to browse for an image vs. using a link to an image. The "browse for image" feature is disabled for security reasons.

Take a look at the demo below. If you follow the steps in this demo exactly it should work. Just copy the link to the image (from Photobucket, etc.) and paste it into the proper filed.

Well, let me tell you for a 64 yr old grandma, it just gets worse!

When I first made up "my page" it seemed ok but I have had nothing but trouble since I tried to "edit". ha I finally managed to add photos from photobucket but lordy!! They are huge! I am about to delete the my page as I know it is my own errors and I have no patience!

I can follow the little instructional video but then can't remember what to do next and haven't a clue as to why the photos are HUGE.

Osark hen, I can resize your photos for you if you would like. Or if you have some free time and want to try it yourself. Just go back to your photobucket account and hit edit above the photo. I resized mine to email size and they load quite fast. I tried the size bigger and it took forever to load.

If you would rather not try it, just let me know and I will resize and send them to you.

Hi, thanks, I didn't know you could do that, let me give it a try and if I fail, please help yourself. LOL They are so awful that size. I thought photobucket down-sized them before they uploaded to BYC. thanks a bunch for the help.

You can do it...I'm a grandmother too. The picture of your ducklings is at 800X600 on your My Page. At photobucket select the picture, at the top of the picture click "edit".
The picture will come up again, at the top click "resize". If you check out my My Page the top photo has been resized to 640x480 message board size. The rest of the photos have been resized to 320x240 website, e-mail size. Warning though, once you resize them smaller at photobucket you can not resize them up. You have to upload them from your computer again.

ok, I am not patient today at all for this!! I changed the sizes of the ones I was going to post but obviously, forget a step??? All I am getting now is the reference number to photobucket. Grrrr I need the instructions on the side so I can follow them and not having to go through so many steps just to get to the instructions. Old people!!!!!

I would appreciate any help I can get at this point!

 

[verthandi]

Let me try for you, what size do you want them?

 

[ozark hen]

ok, I changed the sizes, thanks soooo much. But the last photo of the 8 week old cochins didn't change when posted?? When I go to photobucket it is changed?? Grrrr! I will not post any more there as I am screwing this up royally. Sorry.
