How to Upload a Picture : Tutorial
So let's say you've created a really great avatar or blend, and you want to share it with the world. Problem is, you're not sure how to upload it! Well, below I've created a simple tutorial that will guide you through the uploading process. It's really not difficult at all. :)
There are many websites that will host your pictures for free, such as TinyPic and Photobucket. I prefer to use Imageshack.us, because unlike other sites, the file limit is quite high, you don't have to sign up for an account, and unless an insane number of people view that one image, it will never exceed bandwidth and will be there for as long as you want it to be.
So...how to upload? Easy! :)
Step 1:
Go to Imageshack.us and click 'Browse'. Find the picture you want to upload, and click 'Open'.
Step 2:
Click 'Host It', and wait for it to upload.
When the image is uploaded, select the very last link; the one called 'Direct Link'. This is the link that will take you directly to your image.
Now, to make that image appear on a message board or forum, you're going to want to add an [img] tag to the beginning of your link, and a [/img] tag to the end. That will make the picture appear instead of the actual link.
It should look like this: [img]yourlinkhere[/img]
I hope this tutorial was of some help to you! :)
