How to post a picture?
Referring back to the Main forum Help link
http://www.knittingparadise.com/tpr?p=64&t=1
You find most of the basics... BUT, most of us open a thread of conversation, like our wonderful workshops, and just start typing in the Quick Reply section at the bottom.... SO THEN how do you add a picture????
Well.... you type that text and then click the Send just like you normally do. After your post appears in the thread of conversation, did you notice you have options????
Referring to the picture below
The PURPLE box is that very familiar Quick Reply box we all use to add our comments to a thread of conversation
But after you click Send and your comments are added did you notice what the RED arrow is pointing too?????? That is added to your comment for you to make changes and additions or even remove it completely . NOTE: you only have a short window of opportunity to make these changes so be ready to do so when you are typing. Otherwise you need to do a whole new post
See the BROWN arrow pointing to Add New Attachment, when you click that, the stuff in the BROWN oval pops up to use!
So now click BROWSE and you will be taken to YOUR OWN PERSONAL COMPUTER there you can navigate to what ever you need to add to your post. After you have made your selection, text appears in the box closest to the BROWSE button THAT OTHER BOX is for you to type some description of what you are attaching This DOES NOT have to be the title of the picture that you had on your local computer USE SOMETHING WE WILL RELATE TO, like My project in progress or Help what did I do wrong here or See Look what I made! But you can also just leave it blank!
THEN and MOST important . CLICK THE ADD ATTACHMENT button. Because without this NOTHING gets added!!!!!!
Now, lets see those Pictures!

Pdf printer for free
..
I have been asked many times to recommend a free pdf printer. I recommend PrimoPdf
http://www.primopdf.com
This free program installs and acts just like a regular physical printer connected your computer.
Download and install this to be able to print from ANY program to a clean pdf.
Basic instructions for use:
Download program. Install program
When you are ready to print, in your print screen, choose PrimoPDF. A new window will open allowing you to name the document and select its save location.
These screen shots are from my local computer.

How to add a photo from your Ipad or Android Tablet
When you reply, use the reply button in a post and not the quick reply, there are 3 lines under the box you type in, they allow you to add images so click on the browse and it will ask you to either take a photo, or use existing. Chose existing and it takes you to the photos on the iPad, chose one and it uses that line. The blank part is for putting a title in if you like.

Please be advised, that while I will help with tech issues related to the workshop section, and some minor issues of general KP use, I am NOT the Forum admin. I do NOT have the ability to 'fix' your internet browser or your home pc.
Offline, I am a paid IT support person. I volunteer my time for small workshop/kp issues and will gladly do so going forward.
Please respect that when sending me your private messages....
thanks
