I'll try to keep this simple, but if the explantion doesn't make sense just ask and I'll try again.
Remember you can use HTML inside the Comment box, thats what I did with the First Gear models pictures.
example: to show the model picture type in <img src="http://www.pixplus.com/image60/2474.jpg" border=0> that just links to where the picture is stored
In HTML img src means show me the picture located at "http://www.pixplus.com/image60/2474.jpg" border=0>"
The alternative is to type in the picture location in the box labeled Optional Image URL:
More detail if the previous didn't make sense:
Now if you have an image that you have scanned in, or downloaded from something, you need to (File Transfer Program)FTP it to a server on the internet. Your ISP usually gives you space on a server. The ISP will have directions on how to do the file transfer from your home PC to the server. Once the file is on the server, you can post the location, URL, and we can all see it.
When I wanted to put Drew Reed's WDX on this site:
1.I received the jpg file in an email. use jpg or gif format, and try to keep it small, the WDX is about 50k
2.Saved the file to my home PC hard drive as origpw2.jpg
3.Used a piece of software to size it, and compress it to load quickly
4.FTP it to my dodgepowerwagon.com server on the pictures directory
5.the URL for the picture is "http://www.dodgepowerwagon.com/pictures/origpw2.jpg"
