How do you add multiple photos to a post.
Do you keep editing your own post and add attachments? tried that too.

You can resise pictures using any graphics program you may have. Corel, Adobe Photoshop.

You can get a free program called 'Picsizer" that will resize whole folders of pics for you to a specific size. Great to make copies of all your digital pics in Picsized folders ready for e-mailing or attaching.

if you want more than one pic per post, its a different method entirely. The pics have to be stored off site, on a server somewhere.

then you link to the pics.




replace the '*' with '/' though.

you dont have to type it all in.
When you click the reply button... .. above the text box is a line of icons. Use this one ... . Click on that and a box will pop up, just paste the location of the picture in there and click OK.
When you post from an external link, you dont need to resize the pics at all. Its only when you upload to aussieveedubbers that you need to go under the 50kB limit.
