Posting a JPG of a sleep record

Post by Leland » Mon Feb 20, 2012 10:31 pm

How do I include a copy of my (SleepyHead) CPAP record on a posting? I can't find any instructions for how to do this.

You must host the jpg on a photo sharing site and link correctly to the photo (Photobucket). Google photo share sites. When you get it done, preview your post to see the results. Jim

Open the image to full size so it is easily read.
I use Vista snipping tool to create a screen shot and crop the image at the same time.
Prt/scr key will also take a screen shot if using XP. If laptop is used sometimes the Fn key has to be pushed at the same time as the prt/scr key
I think windows 7 Home Premium has the snipping tool, Basic may not.

Once the screen shot is created save it in jpg format.
Upload the image to a host site. I use Photobucket it is free, there are others.
Once the image is uploaded then copy the ENTIRE IMG address. Be sure to include the opening and closing IMG in brackets. Paste that copied address into a post here.
Use the preview button. If you can't see the image try again because if you can't see it we can't.

If you use Photobucket they provide a box of 4 addresses that can be use in various way.
Put the mouse cursor on the last line in the box...it has the IMG brackets in the code...click on that last line...see copied....some to your forum post and right click mouse and click paste. Then entire Code along with the IMG brackets will show up....don't do anything else except click on preview to see if the image shows up.
