Instructions: Adding Multiple Photos in a Single Message


here is a step-by-step explanation, showing the easiest way to add multiple photos to a single message:

  1. 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

  2. Then, one-by-one, you will highlight and add formatting code to each of the three URLs that are sitting in the message field. Here is what it looks like, when you have highlighted the first URL:


  3. While the URL is highlighted, as shown above, go to the Formatting Menu Bar

  4. With the first URL (and only the first URL) still highlighted, click the Image Icon (the one showing the brown picture frame and the green scenery)

  5. After you click the Image Icon, in the Text box of your message, you will see that two small 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; with these tags inserted, your Text box should look like this

  6. When you use the Preview button, here is how it looks after the first photo has been formatted / inserted into your message:

    http://www.onthedash.com/thumbs/FordSplitLapUnit77.jpg

    http://www.onthedash.com/thumbs/Mon73633G.jpg

  7. 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

  8. 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!!

  9. Now you can go back, and add captions or tell your story, adding words between the photos.

  10. 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!!
