The image hats.jpg cannot be uploaded like this.
It's on your hard drive,
it is not transfered on the web
You can use something like this page
http://www.all-yours.net/postcard/upload.shtml
to upload your pictures somewhere on the web and then put their URL addrress of their web location in the box

So,
1. Go there
http://www.all-yours.net/postcard/upload.shtml
2. upload the pictures from your hard drive
3. use the URL of the picture that points to the web location
don't use a URL that points on your computer

: : Hi,

: : No problem. I'll be glad to help you out.

: : Lets say you want to post a picture named indyfan.gif
: : the URL of the picture you want to post must be something like
: : http://www.indyfan.com/indyfan.gif
: : and not something like C:\MyDocuments\indyfan.gif
: : with other words if you want to post on the web a picture that is on your hard drive you have to upload it first somewhere on the web
: : Now, if you ask "what is upload?"
: : the answer is
: : upload is transfering a picture to the web
: : it is like when you have a picture on your hard drive on C:\Pictures\indy.gif and you put it on
: : C:\MyDocuments\indy.gif
: : same thing with HTML documents, when you go to http://www.indyfan.com/index.html you see a web page
: : how that web page got there?, the administrator of the site uploaded there
: : the opposite is "download" which is tranferring from the web to your computer

: : I hope I answered your question.

: : Nick

:
: : : I typed the location of the image as c:\Mydocuments\hats.jpg and no image was sent. What am I doing wrong? Thanks a million, Steve

:
: I know I'm a real dummy but what should I type in the url box? I have an image on my C drive under My documents. The image name is "hats.jpg . What do I type in on the url box to upload? Thanks again, Steve
