Yup! It's working. :)

Pac-How did you do that? Any suggestions for where I could store my photos where I'm able to post them on different websites for sharing? Do you need your own website or something? I've stopped using shutterfly because of the way they compress my photos. They do it too much to where it's distorted and not worth sharing. Thanks for your help ;)

Jenn,

If you click on 'Reply with quote' you'll see exactly how I did the thumbnail link to a bigger picture. In a nutshell, I just combined two html type commands together. The {img} command within a named link {url}.

Most internet providers I know of provide web page spaces to their customers for free. The only drawback is that the amount of disk space you get is limited. It's enough for a good size home page but not for a lot of quality pictures.

The other alternative is to pay a service like PBase (I think they charge now, don't they?). Or you can go with a web hosting site (you can even get your own website name if you want) but you'll need to know how to FTP files up from your computer to the web hosting server. But that's not hard to do once someone shows you how.

Since I'm already paying for a web site, I just "borrow" a little bit of disk space there for posting some pictures (but not a lot).

Pac,

Creative thinking: I like it! :)

That's a good solution to reduce bandwidth, especially when posting multiple images.

Jenn,

I'd encourage you to think about starting your own site. I've really had fun building mine, and 18 months ago I'd never touched HTML/web building.

These days you can get pretty cheap ISPs that would give you enought space to put up your pictures.

Thanks, Roger. That's exactly what I had in mind. I have a slow dial-up internet connection at home and it takes forever for some of these images to come down. I was hoping to "plant the seed" of this idea so that others who are able to can use this technique to link to their photos.
