In Response To: Scans - How .... >>>> ()

A digital camera is the easiest, since it directly creates a JPG image file.

But if you have a conventional film camera, then you will either need to buy a flatbed scanner (they are as low as $30 here in the USA) or choose a photo developing shop that in addition to the physical prints, also supplies you your photos in digital form on a CD or via Internet download.

The scanner should already come with enough software to do what you need. With it, you can scan any photo prints and save them as JPG files. It will take a little practice to get the size settings right. For uploading, keep your images under 800x600 pixels unless you really intend otherwise.

Once you have the image in a digital form (usually a JPG file), you must upload it to the Internet somewhere. Your AOL access likely comes with some web space--follow AOL's instructions for uploading the image to that online space and determining the URL that points to the image. You need the URL that points directly to the JPG or GIF file, not any HTML page that may contain it.

For example, it might look something like:
