Hi Brian, 1. Get your pic prepared on your own machine, i.e. copy it off your camera, size it to the resolution you wish, etc. I generally keep my pics to 800x600 or less just because anything more means a lot bigger file size and some people may not have enough resolution on the screens to see it all at one time. 2. You then need to upload the pic to a website...any website will do. The potentially confusing thing is that the ytmag system won't accept pics directly from your machine...it must copy them from a website address. Some of the others here might know of a good freebie website where you can drop a file. I use my earthlink account as my temporary drop zone for posting pics to ytmag. Exactly how to get your pic uploaded to your website it dependent on the target website. I use a windows FTP program to log into my earthlink web space and copy the image files. I've done this before using Internet Explorer, but it was a real hassle. If you need some detailed assistance with using FTP or IE to do this, shoot me a note, and I can help you through the details. 3. Once your images are uploaded to the website, you go into ytmag and post a new message. At the bottom of the form is a field for "Optional Image URL." Type the exact url for your uploaded image here...it's gotta be perfect. I usually make sure I can view the image in my browser, then I copy and paste that url into the ytmag form. 4. When you hit "Submit," the ytmag system will go out and find your image, copy it over to its own storage, and voila! your pic will now appear in your posting. So, the squirrely part here is that you must have a website you can upload pics to that is not related to ytmag. Hope that helps, - David
