As our amigo Krafty posted...THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!!!....It's been so much fun seeing everyone's pics...at least some of you!

ONCE AGAIN...TO OUR AMIGOS WHO HAVEN'T POSTED THEIR PICTURE(s) YET...WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?? ....WE'RE SITTING HERE STARING AT OUR MONITORS AND REFRESHING OUR BROWSERS - ANXIOUSLY AWAITING YOUR POSTING!!


Here's my Mug Shot from the first time we posted them in 2006





Tu Amigo, Michael/Miguelamo/Amo Pescar

Will DanO please post a picture of himself?

I'm tired of thinking he looks like James Mac Arthur.

Barry asked me to post his photo...

It takes just a little practice... here again are a couple of methods for posting photos on Nomad:


There is some misunderstanding about how to post photos... There are two methods...

One is direct onto Nomad from your PC files, using the 'Browse' button under the normal posting box... In that case you can only post one photo per post AND it MUST be UNDER 50 kb. is file size. Since this is smaller than most all photos you have on you PC, you need to make a duplicate file with the photo size REDUCED to under 50 kb.

The BETTER way to show your photos is to hot link to them stored on another website... such as Photobucket.com. It is free (to a certain limit) and has an automatic resizing service... In this case, Nomad requests photos to not exceed 800 pixels in width.

On Photobucket, to upload from your PC,

1) click the red button 'Upload now'.

2) In the next window you see, at the top of the big box, in small blue letters, click: Customize your upload options

3) In the pop up see these choices (and more to resize to):
100x75
160x120
320x240
640x480
800x600
1024x768 ...

>>Pick 640x480 for most photos... this is the selection refered to as 'Large'.
>>Pick 800x600 for maps or max. detail images max. size to fit on 15" screens.

4) Select photos (press Select Photos button) from your PC to resize and store on Photobucket. You can have multiple files to organize them.

Now, to put on Nomad!

1) Place your mouse arrow over the photo you want and get a small pop up with some codes for linking them to various media.

See the one called 'IMG code'? Click your mouse on it to copy it.

2) On the Nomad posting box, paste that code.

You can have text above or below the image link... have several images perhaps a dozen max... and then do a reply post to add more... so as to not have too many on a single frame.

The photo url begins with http:// and ends with .jpg (usually) and the IMG code puts your photos url between the tags [img] and [/img]

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If your photo is already on a web site, you can click this icon located above where you type onto Nomad (not quick reply):



and just put in the image url, and the tags are automatically added on to show your photo here. (make sure the http:// isn't in the url twice)

Me and one nice WSB (brag, brag!).

Nice try, Bornfisher.

Anyone can buy one like that at the fish market and hold it.

How do you think Woody gets those spotfins?

O.K. Captain Tracy---Well there is a resemblance between Woody`s spotfin and my WSB. I mean they both croaked, but mine just croaked a lot louder!!!
And I must say that yes you can find one like mine in the fish market. But you can`t find one of those HUGE spotfins unless you buy one of those rubber blow up ones!!!!

[Edited on 2-14-11 by KASHEYDOG]

What a great idea! I, too, often wonder if I'm bumping into fellow Nomads without realizing it. I was also somewhat surprised by the average age we represent. Overall, we're a bunch of old gasbags--no disrespect intended to anyone.
I was hoping to see a photo of that sometimes-angry fellow living up Punta Banda way, just in case...

Here I am, with my better half;



Me, at the ranch of JR's "Bamboo Palace" fame;



My three kids getting down in a game of smear-the-(ball carrier) in the Arroyo of San Blas.



I'd have posted a photo of Bajalera, the family matriarch, but she was always sensitive about her image, and has become even more so as she's gotten old and ugly.

Photo # 1:As usual, gnukid, you're confusing me. In the middle laying down or in the middle between the guy's hands?

Actually, I'm taller and better looking, or at least I was when this pic of me and the boys was snapped at the Old Mill.

Steve, I have a fun photo of you sloshing through the bog near Mision Santa Maria holding a tow strap!

SHAME ON YOU!! If it wasn't so late, I'd drive into town & ring your gate buzzer just to smack you for repeating something your mom undoubtedly said!! I have a good pic of Lera, Jesse & BajaBernie....but knowing Lera's feelings, I won't post it! It was taken just after her table dance!

Teri, me, and the boys Moby and Lucky backpacking in the Sierras.

WOW…THIS HAS BEEN TERRIFIC!!! MANY OF YOU HAVE POSTED PICTURES OF YOURSELVES AND IT’S BEEN FUN TO CONNECT A FACE TO A NAME.

BUT…WE WANT TO SEE MORE PICTURES!! SEND US YOUR PICTURES PLEASE!!!

I KNOW THAT IN THIS AGE OF SO MANY TYPES OF DEVICES THAT HAVE CAMERAS IN THEM THAT YOU CAN FIGURE OUT A WAY TO COME UP WITH A PICTURE TO POST!!

SO GET OUT YOU DIGITAL CAMERA, CELL PHONE, iPhone, ANDROID, BLACKBERRY OR WHAT EVER IT TAKES AND MAKE A PICTURE AND POST IT! …IF YOU DON’T OWN A DEVICE, ASK A FRIEND TO TAKE YOUR PICTURE AND E-MAIL IT TO YOU.

If you don’t know how to post it, see PAGE 6 of this topic. David K does a good job of explaining how to do it. Personally, I use a free site called Village Photos.com to host the photos I post. It’s very easy to upload them there and then get a URL to use for Nomad.


SO COME ON NOMAD AMIGOS, WE'RE ON A ROLL HERE....GOTTA KEEP FEEDING THIS BEAST TO KEEP IT GROWING!!!

You have got to be kidding me.

Give my photo out so that I can be in David Kier's cross hairs, No way.

I want to make sure when I am in San Felipe and I see him sitting on a bar stool helping Mexicans learn about their country and explaining how to spell and speak spanish, I want to have a head start so as not to get thrown in jail.

Here are a couple of photos of Bajalera that she WOULD approve of. But, of course, I had to cheat and go waaaaaayyyy back for them (sorry about the size, but they were scanned, and that seems to make a big difference in how it behaves, somehow).

Sorry! That's why I won't post it....she'd already flung her thong (say that 5 times fast!) to a cute young guy in the back row! It was after that evening that I started assuring you I wouldn't let her table dance!

Thank you for posting her WAC pic!!
