Dennis - we can help you with pix and articles. The maps -- we are waiting for Doc to show us how to do that.

Dennis, it has been discussed here a bunch (how to post pictures)... Do a search... I am taking off now, otherwise I would look it up and give the
link... Check 'Essay Contest' by Packoderm for the original set of instructions...or, Scroll back on the Photos forum where I recently reposted the
instructions... Other details can be found in the FAQ link on top of the web page here.

There may be a better way to add a link to a URL, but...
What has worked for me is to have the Nomad forum open, minimize it, open the URL you want to share, carefully highlight that address, and hit CONTROL
"C" to copy, then write you post and place your cursor where you want the link and hit CONTROL "V" to paste.

In the case of photos the size still has to be reduced. There are programs you can download to do this.

I have a problem adding a newspaper or magazine article to a new topic post. When the thread already exists you can add your stuuf via the browse
feature in the reply post, but that feature is not there posting a new topic .
So, advice please.

Here is my simpletons method for annotating a map...
I scanned the map, right clicked on the image and chose edit from the menu. this will bring the image into a MS Paint window if your are a Bill Gates
kinda guy. From the Image tab I chose stretch schew and reduced the image to about 45 kb. Then you can use paint to mark up the map, save the result,
hover you cursor over the image whereever you saved it and confirm that you are under 50 kb file size and put it in your post like any other picture.
Let's see how it worked....

I Know What You Mean Dennis
When I first started here I just wanted a little picture of a turtle under my name . It took me a day our so to find out what an avatar was ! Lucky
for me Mrs. Tortuga is computer literate . She showed me how to copy and paste . The hardest thing with photos is sizing them to fit here . We can do
that with Roxio Photo Suite which came with our computer .
I must say it is a lot about trial and error for me (with computer) . But it has been good to learn about this machine .

Dennis...BAD choice of words on my part.
I was certainly referring to myself as the simpleton. I'm 63 and self-taught. Nuff said.

It seems this stuff is so simple to those who know. My request would be like asking for a tutorial for nail biting. Hard to explain but, if you're
a nail biter, impossible to not understand.
Thanks everybody. With your info, I'll figure it out.
