Randy W Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 (edited) This is a tutorial for those who may be technically challenged or intimidated when attempting to incorporate pictures into a post. This tutorial assumes that the picture is already on the Internet, NOT on your hard drive - it must first be uploaded, either to the CFL Gallery (see How to Upload Pictures to the CFL Gallery), or to a picture uploading site, such as http://tinypic.com/, or http://s1232.photobucket.com/, or even Facebook. Follow the instructions on those sites if you wish to upload your photos there. NOTE (7/14/2017) - Photobucket no longer allows 3rd party hosting. https://imgsafe.org/is a good alternative NOTE 2019 - Photobucket again supports 3rd party hosting, but watermarked for their free accounts The first thing to do is to find the picture on the Internet with your browser. If it's in the CFL Gallery, you can click on the image to get a larger version. Edited July 26, 2019 by Randy W (see edit history) Link to comment
Randy W Posted October 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 Once you have the picture in your browser window, right click on the picture to get this pop-up menu Click on "Copy Image Image Location". This will copy the picture's URL into your Cut-and-Paste buffer, from which it can be inserted into your post. When you are making your post, click on the 'Image' icon in the second row of Edit tools You should see a pop-up window like this: Link to comment

Catherineli Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 (edited) Please tell me what is this? I took the picture of this sea thing at a beach in 2007. Edited October 28, 2014 by Catherineli (see edit history) Link to comment
dan_ling Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 Please tell me what is this? I took the picture of this sea thing at a beach in 2007. These are called Horseshoe crabs. Horseshoe crabs are marine arthropods of the family Limulidae and order Xiphosura or Xiphosurida, that live primarily in and around shallow ocean waters on soft sandy or muddy bottoms. They occasionally come onto shore to mate. They are commonly used as bait and in fertilizer. In recent years, a decline in the population has occurred as a consequence of coastal habitat destruction in Japan and overharvesting along the east coast of North America. Tetrodotoxin may be present in the roe of species inhabiting the waters of Thailand.[2] Because of their origin 450 million years ago (Mya), horseshoe crabs are considered living fossils.[3] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horseshoe_crab 1 Link to comment
