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:

Imgur
Postimage
TinyPic
SLiMG

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.

Height - Similarly, you can set the height of an image as well by entering a number in the text box below Height.

Border - This feature lets you add a black-colored border to your image. Greater the number inputted, wider the border!

VSpace or Vertical-Space - Add an indent at the top of your image. For instance, to get a 50 pixel free space at the top of your image, enter 50!

HSpace or Horizontal-Space - Similarly, use this feature to add an indent at the left of your image.

Alignment - Align the picture in your feed post, either left or right!

Lock Button - Lock button helps us maintain the resolution of an image in a specific ratio. If the lock button is selected, the image resolution will change to its original resolution ratio. For example, if the image was of width 60px and height 30px originally and one chooses its width to be 20px, the height of the image will change to 10px (2:1 ratio)

Refresh Button - Refresh button (situated beside the lock button) brings the image to its default size!

NOTE: Character limit for the feed is 1200 characters. Meaning, you can only enter 1200 letters, symbols or numbers to your post!
