Walking this cold and rainy beach today looking for that perfect picture... I found a "TRUE" message in a bottle!!! A little 3 year old girl had her uncle help her do it, and it traveled from New Jersey to the beach my house sits on in Hampton, VA!!! What an awsome FIND!! She sent it in October. Can't wait to respond to her!! Thought I'd share this with everybody :O)

Do you know how to upload to your portfolio? Or do you need that info too? Not sure where to start. :)

:) We gotcha covered!

Upload the image to your portfolio. Then click over on the left side - View Photo Page or hover your mouse the image, either works. Because what you need is the number that is on the right side of the link, Image ID.

Grab that number... and come here, open reply. See those icons right above here where you are typing, next to the word Message? Click the icon all the way on the right, looks like large and small photo. Put the Image ID # there, then click okay.

If you click Preview, it should show up just fine. Then click Post!
:)

Edited to add: What putting in the Image ID # does is, inserts image thumbnail here, and we can click on that to go see larger image. Handy dandy little tool that they give us to use. It's great! :D

I think you probably want to use the last button "Insert Thumbnail Link to Site Image". First go to the picture in your portfolio. Look at the ID number that is listed up in the address bar of your browser. When you post, use that last button and then put the ID number in the box. Hope I got that right :)

Edit: Hmm.. too slow. Guess we're all eager to see the pics! :)
