OK, I'm practicing putting up my old Baja slides. This is me in about 1957 climbing Picacho del Diablo.
Vince - 12-19-2010 at 04:18 PM
That was a BUST.

Vince... I can talk you through it, if you want to call me. Are you uploading the pictures onto Photobucket.com?
Barry A. - 12-19-2010 at 04:32 PM
I have already seen that picture, Vince, long ago. I was jealous then, and still am!!!

Picacho del Diablo......I see only white. Was this taken during a snow storm?
Barry A. - 12-19-2010 at 05:50 PM
As you may have noticed, the rocks of Picacho are VERY white, but I can assure you that Vince DID climb Picacho del Diablo way back in the '60's I
believe--------Patience!!!

Vince... call me back tomorrow and we can try again... or email some and I will post them for you.
Anyone else...
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 bottom 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.

Vince??

Thanks for the reminder, David. I'll get busy and try again. Then if I fail again, I'll call for some expert help.

Here's how I use Photobucket. I am on a Mac. Set Photobucket download options to 800X600. Load up a bunch of photos.
Click text edit. Set the box aside. Bring up Photobucket and click on the img code of whatever you want to post. That is an automatic copy. Paste to
text edit. Type in your message above or below the code.
Go back for more images. Copy and paste. Type text.
These images will be large and way over 50k but since they are from an outside server they don't overload Nomad.
Now you have a text edit box or (similar on a PC). It's just text and code no pictures yet.
Go to Nomads. Paste the whole thing and by some magic this is what you get.

So much fun, Here's more.
Everything you see went into Text Edit first.
Oops. That's not Baja. Copper Canyon Train
That's my Bud from Holland. La Gringa Sept ,2010. I was getting this type image result before using the "image code"
