here is a step-by-step explanation, showing the easiest way to add multiple photos to a single message:
- put the multiple URL's (Internet addresses) into the text box (where you write the messages), with one URL on each line; this will look like this:
http://www.onthedash.com/thumbs/Carrera2447NS.jpg>
http://www.onthedash.com/thumbs/FordSplitLapUnit77.jpg>
http://www.onthedash.com/thumbs/Mon73633G.jpg>
- Then, one-by-one, highlight each of the URL's that are sitting in the message field,
- While the URL is highlighted, as shown above, go to the Formatting Menu Bar
- With the URL still highlighted, click the Image Icon (the one showing the brown picture frame and the green scenery)
- After you click the Image Icon, in your message, you will see that two pieces of bracketed code have appeared immediately before and after the URL; be certain that there are no extra spaces, between the URL and these tags; your Text box should look like this
- When you use the Preview button, here is how it looks after the first photo has been formatted / inserted:
http://www.onthedash.com/thumbs/FordSplitLapUnit77.jpg>
http://www.onthedash.com/thumbs/Mon73633G.jpg>
- Repeat this exact same process for the second URL: highlight the URL; while the URL is highlighted, click the Image Icon; hit the Preview button; and this is how your message will look, with the second image inserted:
http://www.onthedash.com/thumbs/Mon73633G.jpg>
- Repeat this same process for the third photo; and this is how your message will look after the third repetition:
Presto!! You have inserted three beautiful photos into your message!!
- Now you can go back, and add captions or tell your story, adding words between the photos.
- Use the Preview button as you are working, and then Press the "Post" button, when you are finished.
There are some simple short-cuts that you can use along the way, but I hope that this method will work for you!!
And don't worry, if you mess up a few messages . . . the Moderators can repair or delete the messages!!
