The mountain in the background of some of them is Croagh Patrick, Ireland's Holy Mountain. If you look closely you can see a tiny white dot at the top of the mountain - that's the church on the summit.

Once you've done that, return to the board and click "add reply" At the top of the reply window you will see a range of options including "image". Click on "image" and you will be presented with a box in which you enter the url of the photo. Alternatively, type [img]enter full url of image [/img]

In regard to uploading your photos to the web, there are a number of options. If you just want to upload an occasional photo then Tiny Pic is hard to beat. The site is self explanatory and there is no need to register, just upload your photos one at a time and you will be given a URL and the actual code for posting it on a forum - be sure to pick the right one, it's the second one down, beginning with [IMG]. The disadvantage of TinyPic is that because you are not registering, you have no account, you cannot build collections of photos and it's entirely up to yourself to keep track of the photos and the links are not user friendly though each time you upload a photo, you have the option to email the link to yourself. The other option is to use one of the free online photo gallery sites where you build collections of photos and can sort them into albums. The most popular are probably Flickr and MySpace but there are loads of others. I don't know anything about MySpace, I use Flickr quite a lot for collections but I've never been able to figure out how to create a link to individual photos for a forum like this. My favourite for that is Fotki which I've used above. There is nothing to stop you signing up with different sites for different purposes or even registering several times with the same site though you will probably need different email addresses for that. I have 3 different accounts with Fotki - one for family use, one for another forum and one for this forum that I only registered today Note that the usual way of uploading photos means giving the site means giving the site access to your hard drive, never ever do that unless you are sure it is a reputable site. Most of them also give you the option of uploading the photos by email but I've never actually used that

I don't have a website to which I load my photos - I keep all many 1000s of them triple protected on my 'Story' 1000gb supplementary hard drive AND a removable memory AND a series of DVDs. I'm rather old-fashioned, you see - pencil-and-sharpener sort old-fashioned!

Posts: 1,156 Group: Members Member #206 Joined: August 16, 2008	Sumermamma Westport is one of my favourite places, my first ever holiday was to Wesport when I was only 11 - my sister lived there at the time - and I climbed Croagh Patrick on the annual pilgrimage which was a night ascent at that time. One memory from it is the first time I saw ever saw water being sold - this was 1962, long before the advent of bottled water in these parts - it was men with milk churns full of water on the backs of donkeys, 6d a cup which was my first experience of exorbitant capitalism I've been there many times since. At the risk of taking over Mrs P's thread, here are some more photos I also took that weekend of Doolough, about 20 miles SW of Westport; it is a very beautiful but poignantly sad place as you will see from the story after the photos but there is a nice twist to the tale with a link to U.S. Indians at the end. Doolough, County Mayo On 30th March, 1847, something like 600 starving victims of the Famine were ordered to walk the 12 miles from Louisburgh to Delphi Lodge to be checked by inspectors to see if they still qualified for outdoor relief payments; after the inspection they were dispatched back to Louisburgh without having received any food. The weather around Doolough was atrocious and the badly debilitated walkers, including women and children, were unable to withstand it. Newspaper reports of the time suggested that 16 died, local tradition is that more like 400 died with many emaciated bodies blown into the lake, never to be seen again. News of the tragedy reached the Choctaw Indians in Mississippi who a few years previously had been forced to walk their own 'Trail of Tears' walk where many of their people died. Despite their own poverty, they were so moved by the plight of the Mayo people that they collected $710 and sent it to help the starving Irish people, a tremendous gesture recognised in 1995 by President Mary Robinson - herself a Mayo woman - when she paid an official visit to the Choctaw nation . Every year, a commemorative walk to the lake takes place. Those taking part in it over the years as well as the chief of the Choctaw Indians have included Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Chernobyl children and Kim Phúc, famously photographed as a girl running naked from a napalmed village during the Vietnam War. (Some reports and the monument at Doolough date the tragedy as 1849 but 1847 seems more likely.) Edited by Mairtin, Tuesday, 27. October 2009, 19:53.
