Pictures to the post

[Snap62]

I'm going nuts trying to post a picture with my posts.

When it says "copy and paste" Does that mean copy it by writing it down?

Pasting? I can see "copy" and "paste" on my right click.

But, when I push either I don't know what to do next.

I'm not very computer literate. Meaning I don't understand the lingo mumbo jumbo like most.

Please I need major help

I have a crippled computer mind, and I need a crutch.

Please rescue

to copy it you highlight what you want to copy like the title of the picture, so yes click copy and then go to where you would like the picture to show up (like a new post) right click with the mouse and go to paste. The picture may not show up on the post until you actually post it so it may just show up as the title of the picture you copied. This is making less sense as I type it, darn verbal diarrhea

You can use PREVIEW at the bottom before you click SUBMIT. Remember, you highlight the line of text, not the picture itself. Have you uploaded it to your space at BYC? Have you built a page? It's really very easy, the text for the link looks someting like this:


only">https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/uploads/17397_mythreebostons.jpg

only I took out the last command ""

When I end the text properly by copy/paste, it reaches out and places the picture there instead of text:

If you choose VEIW and SOURCE on your browser, you will see the text instead of the picture.

Let me know if this is working for you and ask questions if you don't. This is how I got started making my own web ages. It's time I paid it forward.
