Click on Browse... and find the file you want to upload .. in this example it is a picture of a car at the Bath Rally .. the click on the "Add the file" button.

You can also add comments if you want or feel they would help (see below picture two of the engine block!).

You can Preview the post before you Submit it .. or go back and edit it if or spot typos OR you want to add a second image.

What might go wrong? If the image has come from a modern high-definition camera it is usually far to big to upload (we have a limit) so a bit of juggling in "Paint" (which is on every PC) to reduce the size will be required. But I'll handle that in a separate thread. :wink:
