How to post photos

Just a quick note on how to post photos here on StrictlyHDR.

1 - You can upload your photos to a free photo-hosting website, such as:

https://www.photobucket.com
www.flickr.com
http://www.imageshack.us

or you can upload to your own website. You then get the photo location (http://www.picture.com/samplepicture.jpg) of your photo that you have uploaded. When you want to insert a photo in your post, simply click on the IMAGE button, the fifth button in from the left (red circle in photo below), where you write your post. After clicking on that button, simply paste the photo location (http://www.picture.com/samplepicture.jpg) into the window.

2- You can use the Host An Image option, which will allow you to upload a photo directly from your computer, to the server. Just click the Host An Image button, which is the sixth button from the right on the top of the post-writing window (blue circle in the photo below). Follow the directions from there. Please resize the file to 600 px width (for websites). Then, copy the 'image link' and paste it right into your post, wherever you want it.
