Default How to insert graphics?

I just now see the button that adds code to insert a graphic within a post. Where does that graphic file have to be? Does it have to be on a server somewhere? What's the easy way...?

Also, how big is too big, in Kbytes? What should we limit ourselves to?

Thanks!

Take care, R.

How to insert a photo in a post:

1 - Make sure the photo you want to post is somewhere on the Internet. For
example, perhaps there is an image from another site you want to share -
or - perhaps you've already uploaded your pictures to some online photo
album, accessible via the Internet. So, if the photo is already on the
Internet somewhere, skip to Step 3. If the photo is only on your PC, proceed
to Step 2.

2 - If the photo is only on your PC, you need to upload it first to a
location accessible to everyone. Depending on which ISP (Internet Service
Provider) you have, the method for getting your photo on the Internet can
vary.

For example, if you use AOL, you have free web space (FTP space) to upload
your files to (images/web pages/documents) in order to share them with
others. Go to Keyword: "My FTP Space" for more information on how to upload
files to your AOL account.

If you use another ISP, like Earthlink or your Verizon, for example, the
method for using FTP (file transfer protocol) to upload files to you account
should be described in your ISP's help section.

3 - Once the file is available on the Internet, you need to know the
location or URL of the photo you want to post. Here are some examples of
some valid URLs:

http://www.segwaychat.com/images/sctitle.jpg - This is the URL for the
SegwayChat Logo you see on every page.

http://members.aol.com/username/name-of-photo.jpg - For AOL, this is the
valid format for photos and files you might have uploaded to your FTP
account. Just replace the username with your name and the
"name-of-photo.jpg" with the exact name of the photo you uploaded.

If there is a photo from another web page you want to post, go to that page
and right click over the photo. Select Properties and you will see the URL
for that image. Copy that URL because you'll need it for the next step.

4 - OK, at this point the photo you want to post is 1) On the Internet and
2) You know the location or URL of the photo you want to share. Now, all you
have to do in order to put an image into a post on SegwayChat is to use the
following 1 line of code and place it anywhere in your message where you
want the photo to appear:

*** MAKE SURE TO REMOVE THE SPACE INSIDE THE BRACKETS [] OTHERWISE IT WON'T WORK ***

[ image] The URL of the photo you want to share goes in here [ /image]

That's it! Here is an example:

[ image] http://www.segwaychat.com/images/sctitle.jpg [ /image]

The above code would place the SegwayChat logo in my post.

[image]http://www.segwaychat.com/images/sctitle.jpg[/image]



Here are a couple of threads on SegwayChat which discuss the posting of
image in detail:

Lastly, if you don't have a way of uploading photos to the Internet,
SegwayChat can provide you will a free photo album for this purpose. Email
me with a request for a photo album and I'll set you up. Please don't
request an album if you already have a means of uploading photos as space is
limited.
