Martin Colony History: 85 pair in 2020. Seems fairly consistent the last few years.

I am still trying to post pictures related to a previous post so I will try with a new topic. If they do not show, then I need help.

Attaching Photos: Directly below the box where you type your text you should see a blue shaded area. There are two tabs, one labeled "Options" the other is labeled "Attachments". Click on "Attachments" then click the white "Add files" button. A window will pop up where you can navigate through you own files to select an image. After selecting your image you will see a green progress bar showing the file is being uploaded to the website. (Sometimes it goes very quickly so you might miss it if you blink). After the bar disappears click either "Preview" or "Submit" depending on which action you want to do.

Here is an example following The Smiths instructions. The top photo will be uploaded through imgur which is very similar to Photobucket. The bottom photo is by uploading directly through PMCA photo attachments.

Martin Colony History: Started trying to attract purple martins in 2012! It's finally happened in 2017! 5 years!!! ASY male and SY female came May 1st, fledged 5 babies!

All of my photos I put on here has to be downsized! I don’t know how much but it takes me several times for it to get small enough! It’s not easy for the less tech people! :-(

Also by the time I downsize the main item to focus on is out of the picture! :-(

Thanks everyone for the help. And yes taxidermy lady, I did have to resize the pictures for this to work. The pictures are now on the correct post "Completed Natural Gourds". Thanks again

Sharon, if you downsize to 640 x 480 they will post fine. I have my camera set at that so I never have to downsize other than for an Avatar.

That’s nice work Keith! Looks like your ready to go! :)

I use an I pad and all the pictures have to be edited and I draw them smaller with my finger! It’s a guessing game if they are small enough! If I take the picture further away then it works fine! :)
