Several people have asked to see a pic of my crown moulding
project, but I am not having any luck sending a pic. I took a
picture with my digital camera, then downloaded it to "My
Pictures". Where do I go from here? Easy instructions please.



They don't mean actually sending the file to this group. What they
mean is for you to post it on a website of some sort and send the
LINK to them

What website would you recommend? I am not too savvy with this stuff.

Thanks.


1. Get your picture to a picture-posting service.
2. Look at the picture.
3. Right-click on the picture. Pick "Copy Link"
4. Compose a message to this group.
5. Include in your ordinary message the following:

Left angle bracket () - paste the link you copied in step 3 - Right
angle bracket ()

6. At the instant you type the right-angle bracket, the link should light up
(usually blue) and the angle brackets should disappear.

What you have done with this procedure is to "include a link to a web
resource". This technique is also used to direct a reader to a web page or
site.

Point is, you cannot send a picture (or a web page) to this newsgroup - you
can only send a link or a reference to the picture's actual location
somewhere else.
