Shelves - Event Date: 02 Nov 2017 - 02 Nov 2018

Originally posted by js555 I wanted to share some pictures on how I made my shelves but this website sort of sucks because you need to be a damn programmer or something to insert pictures. Anyone know the easy way to do this ? I have a great way to make the shelves over the bed and table... super solid but I can not show you. Help ?

Two ways to post a picture:
1. Use a photo hosting site that will provide a link. Use the advanced editor (two boxes with arrow pointing up and right) and click on the tree icon. That will open a dialog box into which you can insert the picture's link. This is probably the easier way. One such service is Postimage.org.

2. Set up your home computer to host your own pictures. If you can do this, you will know how to get the proper link. Follow the same instructions as above for inserting the link. This is what I do. The other thing that makes this work is using a dynamic DNS service such as that of DNS Exit (www.dnsexit.com) to deal with the dynamic DNS that most home computers use.

Note: Photos need to be resized in order to be posted. A photo that is 4320x2432 pixles is about 2.4 MB in size. When that is resized to 800x450 pixles, the file size when exported to a .png file is 403.1 kB. I use the freeware GIMP program to view the original file and then export to a PNG image. I could export to a JPG image also if I so choose. I can't post the original file since it is too large. I can post the scaled image. I can't provide an example at the moment since we are not home. However, if you view the latest files in my mods link, the images are self-hosted.
