HOW TO POST YOUR PHOTO ON NOMAD

METHOD 1 (updated in 2013):


1) Make an album on Photobucket.com for the subject or group of photos... or just to put photos you want to share on Nomad and other forums.

2) To set the size of the photos (does not reduce the quality) to fit here you click on your name at the top of the Photobucket page.

Click on User Settings.

Click on Albums (top of page). Scroll down and see Upload Options and just below that is 'Customize Upload Options', click on that.

Click 800 x 600 for maps or max. size to fill the Nomad page or click 640 x 480 for large size photos that don't fill the page. Nomad is an 800 pixel wide frame, and if you don't resize to 800 or less, the entire page will stretch off the standard monitor and require sideways scrolling. You only need to do this step once or if you wish to change it.

Click SAVE.

3) Click on the big Upload box at the top center of the Photobucket page and simply select the photos you want from your PC folder.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To show your photos on a Nomad page:

1) Place your mouse on the thumbnail photo in your Photobucket album and select the IMG link of the links box that pops up or is already there, copy that IMG link with your mouse (left click, right click, click copy).

2) On your Nomad post, paste the photo link by right clicking your mouse, and click paste.

Add a caption below the photo if desired and double space between photo links so there is a separation between them.

I suggest not posting too many photo per Nomad post so those with slow upload speeds can also enjoy them... maybe every dozen pictures start a new reply/post?



METHOD 2:

A photo that is in your computer file can be displayed on Nomad pages in certain forums where it is allowed...

The photo's file size must be BELOW 50 kbs to post here. Open your photo file ('My Pictures' or ?) find the photo you want to share and move your mouse arrow onto the photo thumbnail... a pop up will tell you how big it is in kbs or mbs (1000 kb=1 mb).

TO POST A PHOTO:

Simply click the button labled 'Browse' just below where you type a message, and your pc will pop up a window of your photo files... simply click on the photo you wish to post (if it is under 50 kbs). The post must have a subject or some text with the photo to post.

(If the photo you want to post is already on another web site, then you may 'hot link' it to Nomad, and the size doesn't matter... unless it isn't too big and distorts the screen. Hot linking will be described below.)

Method 3: Hot Linking from another web site

If the photo you want to show on Nomad is already on another web site, and it is your photo or you have permission to use it, then get the url of the photo... and click on
which is right above where you type a message. A pop up will give you a place to paste the url of the photo.

To get the url (begins with http:// ), move your mouse over that photo and right click on it, then left click 'properties' in the new pop up. Copy the address/ url with your mouse to paste on Nomad in


Here is a hot link from my web site:




If you have your photos on a photo album web site, there may be a direct link option that will have the html tags ([img]) already included... see Photobucket.com instructions below...

My Daughter in Belize

[Edited on 5-18-2007 by kodiak]

Thats not so hard!! I only tried twice Thats a pic of my daughter this past winter when we went to Belize.

Baja landscape

do over landscape

Reason for the "Kodiak" handle

Just in case someone was wondering....

Picture of the camper

LAST one....I swear!

Think I'll have any problems getting to Mulege with THAT camper???

again

Prior attempts were 50.6 k so I got caught trying to cheat. This file is 46k

Thanks Pompano...I am only 57' all told. Should be like riding a motorcycle on a 4 lane...compared to you at 78'
We will actually be going from San Diego down to Mulege. Then spend a few months at Ray's. I am so looking forward to that...only 6 months more

bajanow, I suspected that was the problem... good job on reducing the image!

It really isn't 'rocket science'... Right Bernie???

Tried that resizer, doesn't like my computer, said nothing older than a XP

Damn thing isn't that old...2 years maybe...

David

Right, it is not rocket science, but I did copy the instructions you posted here just to be sure. Thanks again

The small print says....David K the Baja Connection & thanks for what you do.

Baja travel is one of the finer things in life....

To be shared between friends...

So life is better for us all...

I enjoy doing what I can to help you all to enjoy doing what you like!

Avatars

I've tried in the past to create an avatar but have failed. I guess if I can now post a photo, I'll be able to figure out avatars.

I know I need to be in my profile at the avatar section but....

What are avatars?

How do I create a URL to post it to my profile?

I see some creative avatars (I esp. liked the clown Grover had).... where do they come from?

I had an avatar for months and it recently slipped off my posts and went *Poof*...........

Thanks grover...

Is my sig feature broken?

I've gone in to ''edit profile'' because my sig feature wasn't working. Cut, edited profile, then went back in and pasted it and it worked for awhile. Then it turned off or something.

Tone,
I have many things that go that way.

Dave,
The browse feature is not always there. For instance, if you post in Misc. you have to insert a picture via the URL, insert image method. Took me some time to figure it out. Thankfully I have lots of that.

Sorry, getting the hang of it, have to try a couple

The boat is being winched up onto the trailer,

Hey Minnow, recognize that boat?

[Edited on 11-5-2007 by BajaWarrior]

Warrior,
Sorry,just found out that it apperently doesn't work on all PCs. We have 3 PCs,all with Windows XP and it works on 2 and not the 3rd. On that one you have to go to edit and follow the Paint process, which btw, is not difficult either. Anyone cares to explain why the difference on these Window programs which supposedly have the same, Windows XP home edition, program.

Another one, Shell Beach. Me and Tyson, February 06

Sorry, just now getting the hang of this, been trying for months now. Found this little guy on the beach just above Puertocitas.

DavidK, follow your directions with more patience this time and got it. Thanks man.

Sunrise at my Beach House, sorry, I can't stop it...

I can dig it... Go Chuck Go!!!

I can see how you might say that

oOoOh...mY tuRn mY tuRn!!

Photo posting enigma

Well, the Baja Nomad site does have a problem with long or complicated image file IDs... If the image in your PC is IDed with added symbols instead of just numbers and letters and perhaps a dash, it won't post. Change the name of your photo file to something short and easy... Here's one that is 707 163r of San Roque beach...

Still stymied on photo

Photo from Bronco

(It is a bit small... but let's see how it looks?)

Maestro K

When I reduced the picture and sent it to you it was 26k. Now your telling me its 18k. Ok I'm looking at my browse box and have an attachment pic of 16.8. So here goes ---Post with my right hand, left has the bottle of Mezcal!

Bronco to Bronco

Jezz I'm a wizard, and protege of David K! Just figured it out, when you preview a post you don't see the picture. Hot D---
I could be the Ansel Adams of Baja- Or the campana hombre.

Don't know what constitutes an "old dog" but I still cannot post a picture!!!!!
Is it my mac????

When you go to PAINT, click on IMAGE, then SKETCH/SKEW and only in the SKETCH (Horizontal and Vertical) do reduce the photo to 35%. I leave SKEW alone.

I do (as DavidK suggest) rename my new photo beginning with an "r" so I can identify it as a reduced photo.

Keep trying, believe me, if I got it, you can get it.

Townsend Warbler in back yard

Townsend Two

ok, second try



Thanks Grover, well see if it runs up the flag pole

Desert Blooms

Here we go again!!

A Newbie tries again

Did my first post last night, w/ a picture of our baja rescue dog on the Baja Dogs thread. Second time worked. Tried again with a picture of her as a pup. No deal. I will try again using the suggestion of a short file name. This is a picture of our "secret" camping spot near Catavina.

Ignore-Just a test

Aren't those 4WD bars in Baja just the best!
