How to attach a photo to a post
All right boys and girls, follow these instructions to attach a photo, word document, excel spreadsheet, zip file, etc. to a post.
EDIT: To attach an excel spreadsheet, you must put it in a zip file first.
First thing to do is find the attachment on your pc, and make a note of where it is located. I prefer to put attachments in a folder on my desktop. The folder is called 'uploadpics'. This makes it easy for me to find. All attachments must be 100kb or smaller in size. The following chart shows what type of attachments will work.

I am going to walk through the steps to attach a pic of 2 fellow paperhangers. It is located in a folder on my desktop entitled 'upload pics'. The pic is entitled 'ngppstephkellie'.
Step 1. Click 'post reply'
