Posting image

I would like to post an image of a graph I want to discuss...how do I do that?

Hi!

If you've already got the image, you would need to upload the image onto a website or have someone host it for you. Then just use

to display it in the post.

Any suggestions on who I ask to host it?

 

[Von Pookie]

Well, there are a lot of free image hosting sites around. You would just have to make sure they allow "hot linking," or being able to link to the image on another site (Geocities and Tripod, for example, do not allow this any longer).

As for asking someone, I wasn't sure if you knew anyone with webspace or not. That would be more of a favor from that person.

Gotcha...is there a way to grab the graph from excel to post?

 

[Von Pookie]

Only way I'm aware of is to use the Print Screen button.

Then just open MS Paint (should be the easiest) and hit ctrl+v to paste it. You can then crop out the unnecessary screen area until you have just the graph.

Save it as a jpg or gif file, upload it and you should be set.

Post again if you have problems; I'll help if I can

Thanks...sorry, I was meaning is there a way to post the graph without having to post it to an actual Web site.

Ooooh. No, not that I'm aware of. The HTML Maker doesn't work on graphs

AFAIK no - the image will have to be hosted somewhere
