S. Bear, There is a good description of how to post pictures on this Forum under the "Best of Forum" link on the top of this page. The main thing to remember is that the file of a photo image needs a place to reside on the internet otherwise known as it's "address." Any photo seen on this forum is simply referenced by the link to its address. So aside from learning how to use your new camera, you also need to learn a little bit more about using the internet to do one more thing. We just got our first digital camera too, and also feel like luddites!
One option to check...see if your ISP (Internet Service Provider) provides you (ususally free of charge) a small amount of Internet bandwidth for website purposes. Many ISP's do this and its usually enough space to create a basic website. An ISP that does this, typically provides you with the tools & instructions you need to set it up. By placing your pictures on such a site, the photos then have an address that can be used as the link to make them show up here. The one I use works great for posting one or a few photos at a time, but is not nearly as powerful as the Image Event package such as John Eickof & others use for multiple albums of a large number of photos & descriptions.
Does this mean you will now be providing photos of all the advertised trucks you've been teasing us with for so long? Have Fun, Bruce
