I thought i had posted some pictures from our recent trip, but they dont seem to have uploaded for some reason? Am I doing something wrong?

Maybe they exceeded the 50 KB size limit

or

maybe you can't post pics till you reach the 25 post level??

Ok. Thanks for your reply. I have only one post to my name, that might explain it.

I would love you all to see the pictures as I have some (ok I think so) images of the peninsula.

Reducing photo size to under 50 kb is only if you want to post one photo from your PC to be hosted by BajaNomad.com.

Reducing can be a pain and you don't want to mess up your original by making it so small, so make sure you create a copy first.

A better way!:

To post multiple photos, not need to shrink their file size, and to have them appear here in nice big (but not oversized, beyond 800 pixels wide) viewing size... Here are the instructions (found on the first post in the Nomad Photo Gallery forum):


There are many photo hosting sites, Photobucket.com is one used by many here, it is free for basic membership and very cheap for advanced.

1) Create an album for your trip or subject on Photobucket.

2) Click Upload (top center) to transfer photos from your PC folder to your Photobucket album.

3) Click on the gear symbol on the right corner of the box you see on the screen...





4) Select 800 (full size) or 640 (large size) for Nomad posting...



100x75 is the Avatar size, fyi.

5) Click SAVE!

6) Select photos you want to share on Nomad (or other forums) by pressing the Choose Photos & Videos button (or for the entire folder of photos, click Choose Folder).


Once done with uploading photos, make your post here on Baja Nomad and add photos using the IMG link from the choices of links for each photo in your album. Copy and paste that link in your Nomad thread, double spacing between links. Add a caption to the photo if desired... Click Preview Post to check your post... if okay, click Post Reply.

Nah...Ontiveros737 posted a ton of photos on his second posting : "Mexicali to GN Express"
Unless he's related to DK, Ontiveros got it down!

Correct, you can post photos here in your very first post... Ontiveros737 used Flickr, I use Photobucket.
No, I don't think we are related... :lol:

Would love to see pictures. It's really easy once you get the hang of it. BTW my grandfather was a policeman in London before he immigrated in 1913.
