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.

Step 7. You will be back in the 'manage attachment' window again. You will notice in the address bar by the 'browse' button, the file path to the selected pic. Now click 'upload'.

Step 8. It should only take a couple seconds for the pic to upload. When its done, look below the address bar, and verify it had uploaded the pic you selected under 'current attachments'.
