Feed Guide: The Ultimate Journey
What is the Feed?
Feed is a section of 7 Cups wherein you can share pictures, thoughts, ideas, informative articles, participate in weekly/monthly challenges, share your achievements with the 7 Cups Community or even do shoutouts for our fellow members and listeners! It is a great way to connect with everyone on 7 Cups the same way as Group Chatrooms and Private Messages are! Note that the feed is available only for members and guests at the moment!
Learn more on how to use the feed for growth and support here.

What if I want to add an image from my computer or phone on the feed?
There are many image hosting sites where you can upload pics, from your PC or phone to use in your feed posts.
Some popular image hosting sites are:
Once you upload an image, you will have the URL location of the image that you can link to as you are creating your feed posts!
There are some additional features you can see in the pop-up window - Width, Height, Border, HSpace, VSpace, Alignment, lock and a refresh button.
Width - You can set the width of an image by entering a number (measured in pixels) in the text box below Width.

I'm glad you liked it @Amelia! 
@Isaac - This is FANTASTIC! I especially love the gifs to show how to do it, rather than just explaining - way easier to follow, and I think this will be a tremendous resource for new members and listeners. Thanks! :)
Thank you @Anomalia! I hope it turns out to be helpful! Thanks for all your help and support! I highly appreciate it 
@Isaac
O to the M to the Geeeee Isaac! This is incredible
Im so useless with the feed, so this is gonna help no end!
Nice job pal😀 Thanks
Haha, thank you Emma! 
You're lovely!
@professionalPerspective60
Ok...for starters, @Isaac, you are awesome!! 
This is like even more than an ultimate journey...it's like the extreme, incredible and awesome journey! 
Most people know of my love for the feed, and all the beauty and opportunities it holds for us...this explanation of everything under the sun, is so jam packed and filled with info that is easy to follow! I've been wanting to make a feed post with some of this information to help people understand how to post a picture to the feed and stuff, but I just haven't managed to gather up the energy these past weeks since I've wanted to do it....so I'm so happy to see someone else had the same idea! And...I'm also excited, because there are many things in Isaacs post here that I never knew myself! All the extras at the bottom, all things to learn with alignment and borders and sizing. I've always just looked for smaller sized pics and was frustrated when I couldn't find small enough. This makes it WAY easier...just filling in the size I want! Prepare yourself...I may go on a feed spree tonight to try everything out. 
And @Amelia, thanks so much for tagging me in this thread...so appreciated!
Now I've just got to make a feed post to highlight and link this awesome info Isaac shared with us all! 
Wohoo @Moj! You're so great with feed and it means a big deal coming from you! 
Thank you, @Isaac for writing this guide! It really covers everything.
No worries @ComradeBear! You're such a rockstar!
@Isaac Excellent work, Isaac!
Wouldn't have been possible without you though, @Power ! Thank you so much for all your help!
@Isaac
Omg mate this is amazing. you definitely took your time on this. You're the real MVP.
Haha, thank you! @HalliwellSister
@Isaac
Wow thank you Isaac!!!
Don't mention it! You're the best!
@MidniteAngel
This is great!
I noticed just a few little problems. It says near the top "you can upload pictures" but you can't. If you read on you discover that you can only include pictures that you uploaded somewhere else. I think it would be good to make this clear from the start, because people ask about uploading from time to time.
Also, I think the link only works for listeners. The link for members has member in place of listener. Maybe there is yet another link for therapists. I think it would be good to make this clear, or maybe the link is not needed.
Guests can read this in the forum but they do not have a feed. It looks like they can read a default member feed, but this might be a bug in the site. I think it would be good to say near the top that all this is intended only for people who are logged in, not for guests.
@Isaac
That is a great point Charlie! I've made the changes and it looks better now (thanks to @MidniteAngel)! Thank you so much for pointing it out! You're amazing!
