How do I include photos or links?

The wonderful thing about this new web site is that you no longer have to send photos to the webmaster for him to add whenever he has the time. You can now do it yourself, or at least your group's "editor" can do this for you.

You will need to read the HELP page on how to do it but it is simple enough. After all this web site is designed for ordinary members of U3A to use. If you can send an email you can edit this web site.

Only members who have been given a username for editing can add photos. If you have photos to add you need to contact your group's editor, probably your group leader.

Some important points about images are:

  • They should be "named" - something like "walk-at-hamble.jpg" or "greenfinch.jpg" rather the the usual img003456.jpg
  • You will be asked for a short caption/description.
  • Images should not be large - reduce their size to about 800 x 600 pixels.

The help pages will tell you how to make words bold or in italics.

It is now up to you. Please be patient, read the HELP pages and keep trying.

If you need an editor for your pictures, so that you can crop them and resize them to fit on this site you could do no worse than to install FastStone Viewer. It is easy to use and works very well. It also is good for locating and filing your photos. It is FREE to download. Click here to DOWNLOAD FASTSTONE.
