Do you have any images uploaded to an image hosting site like Photobucket, Fotki, etc.?

No sorry I have never had to use them before .... 

But I also would love to be able to upload for to show some that I have done....

Timber I have also  just finished doing the melted candle tut with the animation and because I still have my  jasc 8  did it all in that so as to copy as per your tutorial... but my text comes out with a white shadow on it... which is fine to use in an email as it has a white background but to use it on a coloured image it would not look like having a transparent background  ..

Okay, that's no problem.  Here at Gabitos Groups you are provided with image storage, so you can upload images from your computer to insert into your messages.

The albums are in the Picture Gallery here.

1) Picture Gallery Page: Click Create album.

2a) Create Album Page: Give your album a title.  For this purpose you can title it "Daphne" or "Dapne's Tags", something like that.  The album title isn't set in stone because you can modify it anytime you want.

2b) Add a description if you like.

2c) Click Browse to add a thumbnail cover for the album.

2d) Choose an album color.

2e) Allow or dis-allow others to upload pictures to your album.

2f) Click Send.

3) Create Album Page: Click Create album to create the album, or Modify Information if you want to modify the album cover, title, etc.

4) Album Created Successfully Page: Click Upload pictures to the album to upload images to the newly created album.

5) Upload Pictures Page: Click Choose pictures and navigate to the picture(s) you would like to upload.  After uploading, click Finish.

6) To insert one of the images from the album, click the image thumbnail.  Below the tag will be the URL for the image.  Click in the URL box to highlight the URL, then copy (ctrl+c).  Use this URL in the message editor using the screenshot I posted in the message above where I explained how to insert an image.

Go ahead and give that a try and let me know if you have any questions.

Daphne, I've answered your question about the Melted Candle Tutorial on the member results thread here .

Timber I get to the last page  Upload pictures page : click choose pictures  ,  but there is no words that say that at all nothing there except  Use control to accept and upload... I must be sending you nuts by now .....lol   but i am trying...lol 

I'm not nuts, yet! heehee  I love to help people who want to learn, so it's all good .

This is a screenshot of what I see when I click Upload pictures.



Do you see Choose pictures?

No  that page does not show up ... oh and i do appreciate your time in helping and i am loving all your text tuts.... there is no link for your Windy halftone and Halftone sparkle and american idol  text tuts... so 

The part that is missing is the Choose pictures box ... 

if i hover my mouse over the box that is there it says adobe flasf player   so isuspect this box should be the download  b ox  but of course it does not work as the words only show greyed out 

Hi Timber I must appologise as I came to see that it was my chrome settings that would not allow the Adobe flash player , so the choose pictures button would not show... hopefully it is sorted out now... I shall go back see if my pictures are showing 

Daphne, I'm happy to see that you figured out how to upload your images (I see them in your album) and that you figured out how to insert them into messages .  Awesome!

Not all of my tutorials have been added here but can be requested, so I'll work on getting those added for you .

Thanks Timber and I do appreciate it ,  I am madly  printing out the tuts I want to try first as I remember when i wanted to try a tut from years ago of course they were no longer on the net.... so I do try to print those that I like out ... and there are so many great tuts here...so my printer is working overtime...lol  I expect because of the different time zones that I am probably awake when most are sleeping as I am in Australia and I think a lot are from the USA..  We are having some very hot days here and to add that to our bad bush fires it is in the extreme...  

Hi Timber,  could you please let me know if it is easier to just use Photobucket and if so is it  easy to apply a tag here ...  Do you use a free one or I see dthey have one for $5 per month. ..  I have no idea how they work  , but must be easier than doiong the add to the picture album , plus i have to keep allowing the Flash  player to work .
