Here are instructions for posting a photo:

1. You first need to post the picture on the internet somewhere. I suggest going to photobucket.com It's free and easy. Sign up for a free account. Upload your photos there, and leave your photobucket window open.

2. While composing a post on this board, click the Image button.

3. A window pops open asking for the URL of your image.

4. Go to your photobucket window and in your album, find the photo you want to post, click on "URL Link" - it automatically copies the URL for the photo.

5. Go back to the window for this board, where you are composing a post and paste the image url you copied from photobucket (right click and select paste). Because this board provides an "HTTP://" make certain you paste your URL on top of it, or you will get two "HTTP://HTTP://". If you do, you can delete the first part.

Then click ok.

6. You will see your image url between the code "IMG" in brackets. This is the computer code that instructs this board to display your photo.

7. Click the "preview post" button to see your actual photo in your post. If the photo doesn't appear, check your URL between the "IMG" in brackets, does it look correct? Make certain you only have one http:// it should look like this:

8. You can post additional photos in this same post, by clicking the image button again.

Following my own instructions, here's a photo of mostly red polled calves at the trough.

Thanks Kirk,

I expect there will be quite a spate of pictures now we all know how to do it!

Very pretty calves.

I updated the instructions. When I paste the URL, I paste on top of the system provided "HTTP://", so I don't get two of them. You can delete one of the HTTP's if this happens, but it's easier to just paste on top of the pre-existing one.

I make a try too..

The image is kind of wide, wonder how that is handled..

My cow Hellen has just got this years calf, the 5th of May, and some pictures are from one week later. Some young gotland lambs wanted to show off too.

To address this, I simply replied and while replying, hit the image button in the iB Code Buttons Section just above the "Enter your Post section". When the little window popped up asking for the URL, I pasted your URL into the prompt window and then clicked ok. That then puts "IMG" in brackets at the front and back of your URL which instructs the system to get and display the photo.

While you're in compose mode, if you've done it right you will see IMG http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z145 ... e07014.jpg /IMG Only the IMG and /IMG will be in brackets.

But when you click preview post, it will be transformed into the photo.

Stop it! I can't bear the sight of all that GREEN grass. I am GREEN with envy :laugh:

How about some videos!

Herd Going out to Grass

Cows in Field

Can you tell me whether these work or not?

Kathy, don't be too jealous. We have all picked out nice sunny pics but the reality is somewhat different this summer. Yes, the grass is green it is also very, very WET. We haven't had 3 dry days together since early Spring. It has, again, today been raining continuously since the heavy thunderstorm yesterday afternoon and it is all getting a bit much. No hay made, only very rushed silage/haylage (if we are lucky). The cows and sheep are out and looking thoroughly miserable, but the goats and newly sheared alpacas like to stay in and last year's hay is down to the last few bales. Not quite the paradise you were imagining I suspect.

Yes Clive the video snips work fine. Moving pictures and sound. Wow.

Posted: **Fri Jul 20, 2007 7:42 pm**

The videos are brilliant and as for the green grass it may be green but like Sylvia said it is so wet my lot should be wearing wellies by rights in the bottom of the field where most of the grass is ??? Don't know wether we will be feeding hay, haylage or silage yet this year it will depend on what the farmer next door can do.
