OMD/Loading Images

A. Finding Images

 * 1) Go to www.flickr.com or another image finding service.
 * 2) Insert your keywords, to obtain a specific image.
 * 3) When you see an image that you like, click on it to bring up the original page.
 * 4) Then, put your cursor on the image, and right-click - "Copy Link Location" (If you can't right-click, or you don't see it, you'll have to browse the various commands on your Application Menu - Hint: it might be under "Edit", but no guarantees!)
 * 5) Copy this Image Link into the Dialog Box "Open Image" - from Point B5  below
 * 6) Click "Preview" to make sure that the image displays properly.
 * 7) If it does, then click "OK" - the window will close, and you will see the image in your discussion box
 * 8) If it does not, then go back to Flickr to find an image that works! (.jpg images tend to work best)

B. Inserting an Image into a Discussion Forum


# A Dialog Box will open up called "Insert Image".
 * 1) Go to the Discussion Forum Entry Box and read the entries.
 * 2) Decide which words or phrases bring up a certain keyword or image.
 * 3) Place your cursor where you would like to insert an image
 * 4) Go up to the Menu Bar, and click on the Icon that looks like a min-picture in a frame (in some browsers, if you put your cursor over the icon, it will say "Add/Modify Image")


 * 1) The first data field will say: "Image URL", with a button that says "Preview".
 * 2) Insert the hyperlink that you obtain from Flickr, or another image service.
 * 3) Click "Preview" to make sure that the image shows - if it doesn't, it's probably not in the right format, and you may have to find another one that is.
 * 4) If the image shows, click "OK".

C. Resizing an Image

 * Sometimes when you insert an image into the Discussion Box, it needs to be resized.
 * Simply place your cursor at the corner of your image, click and you can resize the photo to your heart's content.
 * Make sure to click "OK" and save your work
