ha ha! Thanks Cypress. I've been on here for a couple of years, just never posted much- lazy me. I love seeing everyone's photos though and thought it might be fun to share. Big thanks to David K for giving me an uploading tutorial :spingrin:

BajaRat - I think the tutorial got bumped up on the forum board, but I'll u2u it for you as well. I had to give in and get a photobucket account - made the whole process so much easier.

BigOly - not preserved - alive and kicking -or at least trying to through the glass I had it corralled under. The weird colors are because I had a UV light shining on him

HOW TO RESIZE & POST PHOTOS ON NOMAD (using Photobucket.com)



For Nomads who have been posting too big photos on Nomad... Doug has asked (and those with standard 15" monitors appreciate) to limit the pixel width to a max. of 800.

The sizing is done when you upload photos TO Photobucket from your PC. So, if you didn't do that already... and they are at the full size setting, they will stretch the Nomad pages wide (on normal monitors).

How to resize them with Photobucket, on your album page:

1) Click the red button 'UPLOAD' at the top of the Photobucket page.

2) In the Upload box, see (in small blue text, top right): 'Customize your upload options', and click that.

3) Choose a reduced size. 640x480 is nice for most photos. I usually only go to the 800x600 size for maps for max. detail on Nomad.

4) At the bottom, click 'SAVE'! Thats it!!!

Now, until you change that setting, all photos will be uploaded to Photobucket at whatever reduced size you picked!

To post your photos on Nomad, use your mouse and copy the link called 'IMG Code', below the photo you want to show... and paste it onto Nomad where you type in your text... You can post several photos at a time, but I suggest not more than a dozen, and double space between each photo link. Specially if you add some captions under each photo.

Bacquito - I use a Nikon 5100 with a 40mm macro lens for all the bug shots. The nudibranch picture was with a basic cannon point and shoot in an underwater housing.

Thanks for all the compliments!!
