How do I post a pic?

Hey folks... Here's the dilemma: I have a really sharp piece of original art I'd like to post (in the Original Artwork forum, of course), but don't know how to go about it... It says to upload to an independent server -- I'm a bit computer illiterate -- will someone explain how? I'm not getting any bites on "Original Artwork", despite 88+ views.

You need to place the art's image onto a server. This is a computer attached to the web. We call this 'linkable webspace'.

You get some with a AOL or Earthlink internet account. If you use a different company they might offer you space also. You'll need to check with your agreement to see if you do.

Each service uses a slightly different tool to upload things. So the how will depend on where your space is.

My ISP doesn't offer such space. I've seen a lot of people link to yahoo in some fashion or geocities... I'm a member of yahoo I think, still... Where would I post them to link it?

Madman, to upload your pics to yahoo, you'll have to open a club or group there. Go to http://clubs.yahoo.com/ and follow the instructions. It will take a while to get the gist of it, but it's really much easier than it looks at first glance. At a yahoo group or club, you'll have 5 MB of free space.

It's even easier at geocities: Go to www.geocities.com and click on 'Easy upload' on the right hand 'advanced tool bar'. You'll just need a yahoo password for it (free).

Yahoo and geocities don't allow direct linking from another site though, so you'll have to add 'copy and paste' to your link.

If more questions arise, don't hesitate to send me an e-mail to [email protected] , I'll try to help you.
