Initiating an effort to draft a tutorial of how to upload & have images within the text. There are lot of members who have difficult time & wish to have images within their travelogue or in the post. This tutorial will guide Step-By-Step. An image can be uploaded on any public image hosting site (eg. PhotoBucket, Google Picasa, tinypic, imageshack, etc..) There are tons of them. I have explained it using Picasa & tinypic here, though the same process can be applied to any other site as well, provided the 'process' is cleared through this tutorial. I prefer Picasa it being of Google, & as its mostly accessible in many companies. Also the images can be stored under your regular mail id having albums.

Using Picasa
The direct link of picasa (http://picasaweb.google.com/home) or if you are in Gmail checking mails, click on Photos link present on the top.

1. Click Upload to put your images online
Posted Image


2. This will open up a window which will show the list of existing albums if any & Click "Select Album". Else you can create a new album. This will be a kind of folder to classify the images within.

3. Create Album window will now show up like this, type the descriptions if you wish & then click "Continue"
Posted Image


4. Now the page will show up where you can upload your images from your computer. You can upload as many you want. If you want to upload more than 5 images, upload first five images, Click "Upload" then you can repeat the above process.
Posted Image


5. Once the images are uploaded, it will be shown on the Page online now something like this.
Posted Image


6. Now how to insert this image into your Motoroid thread/topic. Click on the image which you want to put in Motoroid forum. This will enlarge the image, something like this .
Posted Image


7. Now, we need to copy the path of this image where it is present online.
a.) If you are using Internet Explorer, right click on this & click on properties
Posted Image


b.) A properties window will come up, need to copy the Address (URL) from this window, which is basically the path.
Posted Image


c.) This is for the users using Mozilla Firefox browser. Its simple here, just right click & Click "Copy Image Location"
Posted Image


8. Now lets insert this path in the Motoroid post. While you are typing the message, lets assume if you want to write something & want the image to display right below that. So type some text & click on "Insert Image" button something like this.
Posted Image


9. A box will show up asking for the online path. Now paste the path which we have copied from earlier steps & click "OK"
Posted Image


10. The image is now right along with your text
Posted Image


11. To check & confirm, click on "Preview Post" and Voila.. You have your image right there below your text.
Posted Image


This narrates a Step-By-Step process to insert image in your post using Picasa. Uploading from other sites is much simpler, Just the benefit of using Picasa is, you can archive your images into albums & keep it for future or share with others permanently.



Using TinyPic:
should be a similar process .

1. On opening the site (TinyPic), you will see an immediate window to upload the image. No login required.
Browse the image from the local computer & click "Upload Now"
Posted Image


2. On completion of Upload Process following window will show up which has all the information required. Copy the "Direct Link for Layouts" content which consist the path we require & you can put in your Motoroid posts from the above process narrated.
Posted Image


Hope this tutorial was helpful & should be easy for members who dont have much technical knowledge to upload the images the way they wanted.

Note : You can upload the images in your Motoroids Profile Album as well & insert the image using above steps.

i have used it in an image should i continue using it for images to be posted on Motorids forum only?

awesome and detailed Tute. naice.

As for the maximum capacity, no limit i guess.
But when u insert link from picasa, u will see a "s640" or "s480" or something like that. that is the width of the image being pasted. while inserting the link u can modify that size and the image will resize itself to the new input. Note- if u increase the size (eg. 640 resized to 840) chances are that the image will be pixellated. notheless u can try and retry to get the correct size. usually S512 works best for most pics. as even in the mobile browser it can be seen without distortion or going out of the screen.
just my 2ana :)

I guess the forum also has a nifty tool that resizes the image automatically now :)
