tip for exchanging photos using links in your e-mail

Hi Everyone,

I have noticed that many of you make reference to a picture, or site but
don't include the link in your email. It is easy to do and when clicked
takes the person right to the page or web site while still keeping your
email window open as well. Of course if you don't know how to upload a
picture to your designated web space (DWS) then you have a problem. (If
you need a little more guidance let me know. I'll try to help you.)
Pictures can be uploaded to your web space without any web page html
code at all such as the example below. The biggest mistake is not
including the http stuff before the www stuff.

For example: If I were telling you about a kiln hood design I would
type: http://pages.tm.net/sault/Kiln-hood2.jpg
The reader just clicks on the highlighted underlined part of the message
and viola a picture appears! The best way to do this for a web site page
you would like to share is to find the page and while it is on the
screen copy the URL info in the navigator window and paste it into your
email note, but typing it will work if you get the address typed
correctly. Some folks mistakenly add the "href but that isn't
needed and doesn't help. I think that if this was used more effectively
we could quickly exchange a picture while still reading our mail.
Give it a try. For those of you that already know this my apologies.
