Can someone help? So far I've only been able to do "attachments"...
I would appreciate any tips, thanks very much

The pictures must come from a website. So the first thing is you must bring the pix to another website. Most people here use http://www.imagestation.com where the nice Sony people allow you to store images in albums just for free (Pet Talk will break down the day they decide they could get money from us).

The next thing is you start your album on Imagestation and have your picture. Then you copy the address of that picture between the brackets [IMG]xxx[/ING] (in the place where the xxx are). I have changed the end of bracket to [/ING] instead of [/IMG] to prevent the computer from trying to interpret these brackets as a real picture.

The Imagestation pictures have an extra .orig.jpg in the end which you have to remove.

It took me quite some time to do all that but it's just one step after the other and I'm not a computer wizard. However there are some here who can give you advice at any step that might not work

Okay.. I went to Imagestation and registered. They're supposed to e-mail me a registration password. It's been over an hour. Does it usually take this long???
