The Doll Page offers free picture hosting of your doll photos.  Best of all, once your photos are on The Doll Page, they can then be posted on the boards or Yahoo Groups for everyone to see... without the problems experienced with Image Station!

Instructions for Picture Posting!

 

First, so that you understand what you are doing, your pictures must be “uploaded” from your computer to a “place” on the web.  This is where The Doll Page comes into play; they are a free of charge hosting service that will store your pictures (on the web).  So here is what you need to do:

 

1. Access the Doll Page at www.thedollpage.com – you will need to register, this is very easy and painless.  Once all register, logon to the Doll Page.

 

2. When you upload your pictures they will go either in the “dolls” directory or the “fashion dolls” directory – you can select by using the drop-down arrows.  You can actually create your directories but we can discuss later.

 

3. Click on upload photos (right hand side of page).  This will bring up a screen which you will fill-in.

 

1. Select the directory – most people use the “fashion dolls” directory.
2. Tab or click in the next box – and click on browse
3. Navigate to the place on your computer where you have your pictures stored, once you find the picture you can double click on the name (i.e., charlotte3.jpg).
4. Repeat process for additional photos to be uploaded.
5. Next tab to the title description and enter a name here (i.e., Kitty in Cocktails)
6. Now tab to the search description box and type in something (i.e., fashion dolls)
7. Next tab over to the description box and type in a description (i.e., First Class Kitty with her hair down and her makeup enhanced)
8. Now you are ready to click on upload

 

4. The system will upload the photos and will only take a few moments – please wait.

 

5. Once complete the system will take you to one of the photos that you loaded.  We will assume you only loaded one picture - do the following:

 

1. Place mouse on the picture and right click
2. Select Properties
3. Use mouse to highlight the address – be sure to get all of it (i.e., http://........jpg)
4. Right click and select copy
5. Click on ok

 

6. Now you can access the forum you want to post at, Prego’s or Deb’s.

 

7. Go to the “post a message” section and in the message text box – right click and select paste.  The address that you copied will appear (i.e., http://www.thedollpage.com/photopost/data/2/17charlotte3.jpg?5636).

 

8. Add the following to the string:

 

1. In front of the http you must add <img src=
2. At the end of the string you must add >
3. The string will look like this now:  <img src=http://www.thedollpage.com/photopost/data/2/17charlotte3.jpg?5636>

 

9.  Be sure to fill in your name/email/subject…. Now you can click on preview and see how your message looks, it will display the photo too.  If you are happy with the message and the photo you click on post….. and you are done!

 

Now if you want to post multiple pictures, upload all your photos and then you go to each photo and repeat step 5 (thru 8) for each picture to obtain the next picture’s string.  Paste it in the message box next to your first string and modify as necessary. 

 

If you want the pictures to be side-by-side you insert a space between the strings (it will be one string separated by a “space” and then the next string:

 

<img src=http://www.thedollpage.com/photopost/data/2/17charlotte3.jpg?5636> <img src=http://www.thedollpage.com/photopost/data/2/17charlotte3.jpg?5636>

 

If you want the pictures to be in a row vertically you hit the “enter” or “return” key between the strings:
