To begin, I wanted to thank you all so much for all your supportive comments. In an effort to stay more connected with the AT community, I created a Facebook account (I know, I¢m late to the game, haha). Feel free to add me! I am totally down to talk about anything AT related or otherwise (Search my real name, Justine LaFerri re)I have received a few questions about how to insert pictures in text here on Trail Journals. To do so, you need very basic knowledge of HTML. Here¢s the step-by-step lazy way to do it:1)        You need to upload the picture you want online. I would simply upload it here, into the Trail Journals picture gallery. Then, you need to copy the URL address (so, find your image and click right and select ¢Copy Image address¢; you could also open the image in a new tab and just copy the address like that). Here¢s an example: /images/photos/journals/18205/tj18205_121015_001612_995369.jpg?201512091917082)        Then, you need to copy-paste this in order to add a picture with a title:NOTE: You need to replace the curly brackets (the ¢{}¢) with these symbols ¢<¢ ¢>¢ (so replace ¢{¢ with ¢<¢ and ¢}¢ with ¢>¢). {img src="URL ADDRESS" width=350}{br}{b}{i}{font size="-1"} Title of Image{/font}{/i}{/b}You need to paste the URL address you copied in step 1 and stick it in between the quotes (so plug it in ¢URL ADDRESS¢ above). You can add your title where it says ¢Title of Image¢. Also, you can adjust the width and the font size if you want. You can also play around with the image alignment by adding additional lines like ; I never did because it was too annoying to format things on my phone. Back to my example:{img src="/images/photos/journals/18205/tj18205_121015_001612_995369.jpg?20151209191708" width=350}{br}{b}{i}{font size="-1"}Snapshots of the AT{/font}{/i}{/b}3)        Now there are two options. When you type out your entry, notice how at the bottom of the entry box there are two options, ¢HTML Format¢ or ¢Text Format¢. All the things we wrote above are in the ¢HTML Format¢ so you will need to select the ¢HTML Format¢ for it to ¢work¢. However, if you select ¢HTML¢, you will need to ¢manually¢ format your entry. For instance, you need to input {p} to create a new paragraph or {br} to include a break in your text. You can also do things like add bold fonts (by doing {b} before the text intended to be bolded and {/b } to end the effect) or italic fonts (same idea, but replace {i} and {/i}). That¢s the basics. If you don¢t want to have to manually add a bunch of {p}¢s in your text (which can be really irritating especially when you are writing out a very long entry on your phone¢¦), select the ¢Text Format¢; the site will automatically convert what you wrote in HTML. Then you can simply go back and edit your entry ¢ you will see that all the {p}¢s and such have been added (also notice how all the paragraph spacing are gone as HTML does not ¢recognize¢ spaces). I would simply paste the few lines I wrote above at the end of my text for simplicity. And that is it!Also, I made this! (the quality is kinda shit - it was a super big image and it looks quite pixelated now...)
