[cool]I read your post and thought it was a dandy. All the elements necessary. Water, fish, WIND. Well, maybe we can do without the wind.
I think the moderators of this board have a link somewhere for instructions on posting pictures. But, I will put up a thumbnail sketch again.
First of all, anyone with archives of neat pics, and/or who regularly takes pics with either digital or film, should take advantage of the free website offered through BFT. You can set it up in a few minutes, and you do not need to write "War and Peace" to provide content. You can use it strictly as an image folder, for storing and posting your pics on the board. If you haven't done so, work though the resources menus until you find the button for websites and check it out.
In order to post a pic within your main post, it has to be somewhere on a website already. Once it is on a website, all you have to do is right click on the picture...then left click on COPY. You now have the picture captured within your mouse. Start your post, and wherever you want to stick the picture, put the cursor. Right click and then left click on PASTE. The picture will pop into your post at the proper spot.
This works great for illustrating something like the swivel you attached. Instead of adding it as an attachment, you could have just "Copy and Paste" ed it from the website you found it...right into your post. Such pics are very helpful when trying to describe a lure or share a pic you found on another website. I do this a lot from the online catalogs for BassPro, Cabelas and others. Any pics they have on their websites can be copied and pasted, without having to set them up on your own website first.
The one area you will arouse the wrath of BLM & Teroy is to post too large a picture. It needs to be scaled down to no more than 400 pixels wide. If you put it up on the BFT image file board, you can resize it there first and then post it on your thread.
Like most things in life, it is incomprehensible when you have not done it before. But, once you have worked your way through it the first time, you ask yourself "Was I really that dumb?" (Been there, dumb that).
We have a lot of computer savvy members who chip in here. Don't ever hesitate to put up your questions. Or, if you are really shy about it, feel free to use the Private Message service on this site. We gotcha covered.
