Further to my recent castigation by forum members, my comparison to the bronzed bargain bagger and my unjustly gained reputation as someone who is blessed in the wine commerce arena, I thought I would rub it in-



Last nights mixed case. (less the customary 5%)

I opened a bottle of the Babich, young, cool and creamy with lots of peppery fruit, very nice.

And yes, that Organic Monty really was £2.24

Now, I just need to clean the stickers off the Inycon bottles before Christmas….

I wasn't sure about the Babish Syrah today. Amelia really, really is going to put some notes up tonight.

You are a show off.

I still don't know how to load up pictures. I am so rubbish.

Don't know how GK got that pic on. Do you have it on your own website GK?
Mel...you managed the car (or did you?) Copy the full address of the pic that you want (http www etc. something) onto the clipboard. [Control + C) does that.Click on "Img" box - copy the address into the post - [Control + V] does that. Click "Img*". Took me a while to get the hang of it. Have a play.

The Babich is a little warm for its 13.5%, not so much it is off putting but I am conscious of it when drinking. Second night, I still quite like it.

Open a Picasa Web Album account, here-
https://www.google.com/accounts/Service ... ervice=lh2

Upload your own pics to the album, copy the code and simply paste it to the site.

Simples.

Running a club championship qualifier at the mo. Club not far from footy ground and the locals are playing Plymouth. Havoc, started late tempers overheating. Will try that site when I get home and have a glass in front of me. Thanks. Cunning stunt my lad.

No you're not, you've been sampling wonderful wines, instead of being a PC geek.

Mel, I'll write you a step by step guide in the morning, if you're still having trouble with this.

Must dash, supper time and I'm a bit chilly and hungry.

OK GK am aboard, this is all smoke and mirrors to me. Fine tuning will be postponed until daylight and coffee x 2.

Am re-starting French conversation this morning. Am aware that I'm a bit of a cliche - call it mid-life or widowship - will try the pic thing this afternoon and, predictably, Amelia fell asleep on the sofa, so no Tesco TNs yet. Can't get the staff.

One simple thing to know, if you dont already- generally, when you view an image anywhere on the net you are able to copy it to another web page or forum.* The way to do this is to 'right click' on the image, select 'properties' and copy that piece of code listed under the URL Address. Highlight the address, hold your Ctrl button down and hit your 'C' button. To paste the code simply hold your Ctrl button down again (this button should be positioned bottom left on your keyboard) and then hit the 'V' button. Easy, see-




If you want to copy your own images into the forum you will have to upload them to the web first. Using an online web album like Picassa allows you to do this safely, then follow the same process of copying the address.


*I dont know the copyright laws behind this but would imagine its not always legal to do so without the image owners permission.

Is the correct answer.
However in copyright, unless the image has copyright water mark displayed over a corner, or the site makes it known to surfers that images are protected under copyright, then users may freely use such images because they have not been informed to the contrary.

In law as it appertains to commerce, copyright is by exception, not by default. However if users were to make significant income from such use, and it is demonstrated or proven; Then the creator may be entitled to claim a portion of that income for his original work.

Sorry - Borrrrrrring - TMI

For copy & paste / lift & plant method - Trad mouse users like me - usually find that lifting the URL string is earsier by walking left and right finger clicks from the palm of their hand.

just to add my 2 bit to the image sharing....

As GK says, if you get the url for the image from seaching online just type on the thread "[img]"%20and%20then%20the%20url%20of%20the%20image%20followed%20by%20"[/img]"

Similar process you would use for posting a link to a website on here
(btw if you want to give the url a name rather than showing the path type "[url=<type url>]type in name you want to give link a name[/url] see examples below)

If you don't get what I'm saying click the quote button on this post to see what I've done

If you have your own images on your pc to attach to a post, you can use any image hosting website (type in image hosting on Google to get a load of them - I tend to use tinypic)
from there just upload your image and it gives you the link to past into a forum

HTH

More infamy. Spent half the day at this. Can't use Picassa as I'm still on W2000 pro (today becoming 3 generations out of date). Myphotoshop won't allow sharing and Yahoo / Flickr is having problems I think. More coffee then will try tinypic.
