I reciently read where someone wanted to know how to post a pic on the "Bull Board". I responded to the post, and offered a place to put your pics. Anyones. I thought for sure, some of you would take me up.
It was a poor response. However, I did mamage to get something out of this. Stephen Deveau sent in a nice piece of airbrushed art, which was quite good. (in my opionion)

The normal process for posting a pic is kind`a hard for most, unless you know something about FTP (file transfer protocol) plus, you need a web to upload to. So if you know little about the net, you'll probibly have a difficult time with it, and even a harder time if you just surf.

Most of us have a scanner, being in the buisness, and all, and most of us know how to use it. Thats all you'll need to know. Oh! And how to e-mail. OK, heres what to do. Scan your pic and save it on your computer. Next, e-mail me, and attach the file you just scanned. (e-mail adress is at the bottom of the post) Most pics are 4"x6", so if you scan them in at 100dpi at 100% it will be fine. I'll take care of the rest, and e-mail you with the proper UBB code for posting your own pic. Its as simple as that.

Now heres Stephen Deveau's pic:

I just recieved another pic, this time from Dana Aaron with a 4x8 pannel that looks great.

I think I should clear things up a little. I was not intending to post your pics to the BB. I am offering space on my domain (web) for letterheads to use. I will upload your pic to the net, then give you the UBB code so that you can post your own pic. You see, a pic without a story is prety much dull. You can open up a new thred, write a your post and, (heres the good part) use your sign photo. It really is as simple as that.

Which leads me to my next thought.

"Does anyone need a "Cyber-Portfolio"?"
It involves almsot the same things, however, you'll have a web page of your own, with your cyber-portfolio in it. Once again e-mail your pics, and important information. I'll make a simple web page for you to use.

I really want to see your work.

I've tried to post here and am perplexed. I'm not dumb, I don't think, and I've been a netizen for about 6 years. I promise to try your guidelines and send something. (course, now the problem is finding something I'm proud enough of to show my contemporaries. Now that's tough!)
Take care.

I think the pictures should be saved at 72 dpi for the board, and shouldnt be any larger than 20,000 bytes large. This helps the posts load best, thus avoiding tying up the bandwidth. The occasional posting of pics is fine once in a while, but is discouraged due to the reasons I listed above.

It's best if you post a link to the pic of your choice, furthermore, there is a portfolio section for your work, but from time to time it doesnt hurt to post a little
humor to lighten things up around here.
