(pictures of the prompts to come later)

How to post a picture:

1. Sign up for a photosharing site. I use photobucket and enjoy it. It's so easy even an idiot can use it. I know, because I am a computer idiot :-)

2. Upload the pictures you want into photobucket.

3. After you upload there will be three sets of code beneath each picture.

4. HIghlight and copy the one that says direct link

5. Come to the BZ text box that you want to paste your picture into.

6. Select the IMAGE button. It is in between the smiley face and the bold sign

7. A box will pop up. Paste the copied code into the box and hit return.

You're picture is now in your post!!!!!

How to copy and paste from one post to another or to copy and paste from another website to BZ.

BZs text editor picks up HTML. So to avoid your post looking like a big jumble here are some tips.

So you want to copy the poll questions into a new post to answer them.....it's easy! Copy the Questions from the poll and paste them into notepad. Notepad can be found under your start menu, under accesories. You can not use microsoft word, it will pick up the html

I believe there is a mac equivalent to notepad, but I don't know what it's called.

Anyway, now go back to and hit "post reply"

Go back to notepad and highlight what you pasted into notepad. Copy it from notepad.

Go back to BZ and paste it into the text box.

Now answer the questions and hit submit.

You should have a nice clean post with no HTML and no quote boxes.

You should do this for anything you want to copy and paste into BZ, whether it be from another BZ post, a word document or another website.

OK, I'm a computer idiot, I fully admit it... but how are you all getting the quote boxes in your replies? When I cut and paste from another person's message (not using notepad) I just get the verbiage with no quote boxes...

It could have something to do with me being at work and their security settings, but I've been trying to figure it out (yes, I should be working

and I just can't...

Thanks!!
