PBH / off topic: do your thing (travelguide, pictures) / post

HELP!!!

maybe one of you folks can be helpful and walk me through the process of putting a photo on pbh. you gotta make it simple, age aint on my side, and, although i have a brand new, state-of-the-art computer that does everything--it's even voice activated--i don't know how to use all these features...for instance, it even has a built in tv that i haven't figured out yet....duh, you figure.

so, please make it easy and i'll share a great colombian photo like none you've ever seen...even stars me. imagine that!

Go to:

www.tinypic.com

Press the tab 'Browse'

Your photo file will appear as a window. Select the picture you want (click on it, then click 'Open' in your file window).

Click the 'Upload now' tab on Tinypic.

Your photo will appear on Tinypic. To the side of it will appear 5 fields/bars.

Copy the information in the top one- 'HTML for Websites'

Paste that to your 'Comment' field on PBH. It will appear as a sequence of gobbledegook. But when it appears in the thread it should be a picture.

Hope that helps.

I look forward to your photo.

thanks, buddy, i'll give it a shot. what's the HTML i want to use? or is that a dumb ???

it's funny, i been working with computers for years...good ones bad ones, new ones, old ones, etc. the problem is that they continued to get more and more sophisticated and i just continued to get older. now, i have a rolls-royce of a computer (lap top) that cost a fortune and, truth be told, it's like a light year ahead of where i am. pity. now don't somebody up and ask me a lot of--as elmo would say--technical chit, cause i wont be able to answer without looking it up on the invoice. i just asked one of my sons who's a film maker and works in silicone valley and helped adobe develop their feature length film editing software on one of his films, what all i should get, cause it was gonna be the last computer i ever buy and i didn't want to discover that i forgot something. i have enough storage to hold the library of congress, two hard drives and 4 gigs of ram; a bunch of other 'chit' that i have not a clue as to what it is and what it does. it really is far out, though. you can tell it to turn on/off, go on line, go to such and such a site, etc. tell me that's not cool. i still haven't mastered that stuff yet. i still do it all by hand. kinda like having a car and insisting on walking. smart!

anyway, wish me luck. if i cant do it, i'll get my youngest daughter--15 years old--show her what you said and have her do it. one of the luxories of having children these days. their smart as whips and don't even have to study this stuff to figure it out.

brother, campina....i must confess, everytime i try to decipher your platitudes, i'm left scratching my head/ass, completely dumbfounded and all but blind. a good friend would help a fellow out. that being said, help me out and give me the cypher key.
peace, happy holy days.

'HTML for websites', in this instance, is just the name of the field you need to copy and paste.

.......being there, doin that. exile sucks. we (mom and I) want to go back so bad, live in our own house and me just sit on the back porch, smell the cowshit, listen to the chickens, enjoy the pretty young ladies, hang with friends and family, etc, etc, etc. BUT, we have to make the sacrifice for the youngest. we don't want her studying in colombia. she's in a really fine private school here which couldn't be duplicated in colombia for three times the price.

sort of like comparing oxford with daytona beach community college. when she finally gets into georgetown u. or the airforce academy...whichever comes first, her oldest brother is gonna take charge and i'm off to sit on my aging ass.

Douglas, if your fotos show up without at least a nice rack being involved, I'm REALLY gonna be disappointed! ;)

Before you throw me out, make sure I pay my bar tab

heh there, easy money, what's goin on. you still over in naples?

what kind of rack are you looking to see? in this case, it's only one photo, but it speaks for itself. some folks think from some of my stories, this guy must be full of shit. be that as it may...in the eternal scheme of things, that may or may not be so. but it lays bear a whole fuckin lot. you'll see.

well, kalder, i got it scanned into 'documents' now i just have to do the down load you described above. hang on it's (i'm) coming. hmmmm
