How do I post photos on the site?

There are a few different ways:

If you have the images hosted elsewhere, like Photobucket...

- Click on the little tree icon and paste in the image URL. That should work.

- If you have BBTag markup to the image location, just paste it into the editor

- If you have raw HTML, click "disable rich-text" below the editor and enter the raw HTML.

If the images are on your hard drive and you don't have a place to host them...

Click on the little camera icon. Then click on "upload" and "browse", which allows to you select a picture from your hard drive. Add a title and then click "preview", then "submit", which stores the photo on Fresh Loaf's server. This gives you yet another box, in which you may want to change the photo's alignment, then click "insert", at which point your photo will finally be included in your message body. This is the place at which the system tells you that the photo size may be 640 by 640 at most.

What size and format should the images be?

Preferably no wider than 800 pixels, and gif, jpeg, or png files are the preferred formats.

There are many good free photo resizing and touch up tools, such as PicSizer or Picasa. Mac users should already have iPhoto, and most Linux distros come with GIMP.
