Posting pictures

I would like to post some photos . On my windows 8 computer I have a thing called "sky drive photos " . Can they be sent from there ? I have most of my restoration photos on the windows 8 picture library now . They are very easy to email , can they be posted from the library ?

I looked up Sky Drive and see it is a cloud based storage application for photos. You should be able to find the share tool in your image files, click it and go to link, click that which will copy the link. Then go to your post in the TDB. Place cursor in the post and right click to get the paste command, click, and the file will be in the post. Just remember that if your image files are too large, they will not load into the post.


Share files and photos
With SkyDrive, it’s easy to share files with only the people you choose. They won’t need to install any special programs or sign up for a new account, and they can use a web browser to get to your shared files.

Share any file—even big ones
Instead of running into size limits for email attachments, you can email or post a link to a file, folder, or photo album onSkyDrive.
Here's how:

Upload your files to your SkyDrive. (Files can be up to 2 GB in size, depending on how you upload them.)

• Select the item you want to share.
• Choose Sharing, and then decide how you want to share.
  • By email. When you share files this way, recipients will be able to see them when they go to SkyDrive.com and chooseShared. And you’ll be able to remove permissions for individual people later if you need to.
  • On Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and more—you can share SkyDrive files with any contact or network you’ve connected to your SkyDrive account.
  • With a link (handy if you want to copy and paste into an instant message or webpage).

Re: Posting pictures

Bill,

Remember, a photo hosted on another website is not permanently retained in the NCRS TDB.

When those photos are changed or deleted they will not be in the NCRS TDB.

That's why we recommend for photos to be posted into the NCRS TDB.
