Now, for image size, the OFC requires a small file size of 100k or less. The easiest way I've found for this is using the "save for web" feature of any recent version of Photoshop. You can adjust the quality slider and it will tell you the final size before you save. |

Location: GA USA | Under Member Access, click photo gallery. There is a Gallery utililty for uploading to you gallery.
A url "uniform resource locator" is just the address of something on the web.
You'll need to get your pictures onto the web in order to link to them from a message. Uploading to your gallery will do that. The url will be http://........
I uploaded a photo from zillafest that has the url http://www.ovationfanclub.com/photos/Captain_Lovehandles_20333_zfzi...
Try pasting that url into your browser's address bar. You should see this:
That http://etc will be what you paste into the form. |
