Hi All,
I've noticed a few of us have been unsure how to add pics to a post. It's important to know that for the time being the pictures need to be hosted somewhere else and linked to within the post.
Here is one way to achieve the roundtrip from taking a picture of a part of your screen and posting it here:
1. OK. You need to share what's happening on your screen with us: Use the key combinations:
shift-cmd-3 to take a whole screen shot.
shift-cmd-4 to take a specified area screen shot (when the cursor become a crosshair drag a box over the area you wish to capture).
2. The screenshot will be saved on your desktop and called picture#?.png
3. Go to a site like http://imageshack.us/ and select upload image & follow the instructions.
4. When it's finished uploading go to the bottom of the screen and select "direct link". You may have to click on "advanced links" to see that. Copy the URL/link.
5. When you're ready to add an image to a post you are writing click on "Add Image" located between the bottom of the post and the "Submit & Preview" buttons.
6. Paste the URL into the Add image text field (Cmd-V)
Now you can submit your post and the image should appear normally :-)
Cheers
