Default Posting Photos - A Tutorial

Well, you asked for it, so here it is!

There are two methods for posting images on HuntingNet.com. One involves uploading and embedding the photo into your post, meaning the photo is hosted on the HuntingNet.com server. The second involves linking to a photo that you have hosted somewhere else. First, we'll start with uploading your photo to HNI and inserting it into your post.

This is a pretty easy one, but you must understand that all photos can be no larger than 300KB when uploading them to the site. For those of you with digital cameras or using high resolution scanners you will need to resize your photos or they will NOT upload. For those of you who do not have a photo editing program like Photoshop or Fireworks, there are a lot of free image resizing tools out there. For example, Picasa, PIX Resizer, and Microsoft Image Resizer.

Once your photo is resized you want to click the link that says "Click here to upload!" directly underneath where you are typing your post.



When you click that link, you are going to get a box that looks like this:



Now you need to browse for the image on your computer, then select it.



Once your photo has been selected you simply click the "OK" button, and your photo has been uploaded to our server.



Only a few more steps and you're done! In order to make sure the photo is embedded in your post, and not simply linked you need to make sure the "Embed picture in post" box is checked.



Now you're ready to submit your post with your pictures attached for the world to view!
