Pixspot (http://www.pixspot.com) is a free image hosting service used by many of our members. Another free service is http://www.flickr.com.
If you are using PixSpot be aware that as of January 2006 there have been significant problems with this service where many users see THIS IMAGE saying to visit PixSPot to see your graphic instead of the real image you wanted them to see.
If you are using PixSpot and want to upload images to their site do the following:
- If not already logged in, login to pixspot by pointing at the @ symbol to reveal the Login link & clicking it
- Once logged in click the Create/Order My albums button to go to Album Manager
- Click the 'New' button to add an album name
- Replace the default name with one of your choosing
- Add as many albums as you want using the above process
- Click Apply Modifications then click OK and click continue button to return to User galleries
- point at the @ again to reveal the Upload file option
- Click upload file link to go to the file upload area
- Click a browse button and locate a file to upload. Try to keep your files a reasonable size (<200K is good) and limit the image to 800 pixels or less on its largest edge by resizing it - remember it's only for online viewing. Jpeg format is best format for uploads.
- Once you've identified the files to upload click Continue then wait for the upload to happen. This will take a while - especially if you have dial up
- From there you should be able to follow the steps to give a name and description for each file and choose the gallery to place the image in.
Good luck. I look forward to seeing your gallery. PS If you want to know how to embed one of these images in your postings see this thread.
