How to Publis a Pic to GHMS Board

Posting an Image to the Garden In Harmony Message Board

We have chosen random pictures for you
to choose from to practice uploading to the board

Let's get started. To post an image, it must be on a web server connected to the internet. This is not the same as being on your local computer. In other words, you may need to sign up or get a host for a web page site before you can post images. Or perhaps, you already have a online photo album that will allow 'remote' links to the images. We can suggest the following free "on-line photo albums. They have their own tutorials on how to upload your image to their websites. You can also do a google search for "free on-line photo albums." Larry from the Garden in Harmony Board found the Kodak Easy Share Gallery the most user friendly. Your choice.

NOTE: First you need an image from your digital camera, scanner etc. You can also copy/ the URL OR download pictures from the web but make sure it is not copyrighted first. The following information should work with most browsers.

Create a folder (subdirectory) on your hard disk to save your images (keep things organized). If you don't already have an image, find an image / animation on the internet (check for copyright notice!). In most browsers, you can move your pointer with mouse button over an image. Let's illustrate with the canna image on the left. With your pointer over the canna picture click your right mouse button. A menu will pop up. Then select 'properties' on the menu to view the URL of the image. Hold the right mouse button down and drag mouse (cursor) across URL inside the quotes till it is highlighted. We will get the address:

https://ghorganics.com/Product/0a-1Canon_Canna.jpg

Hit control and c keys on your keyboard to copy the URL of the image to your computers clipboard. Now let's get on to posting to the Harmony Board.
