I'm anxious to see John's pictures and everyone else's as well.
To add a photo:
1. Make sure the photo is appropriately sized.
Those of you with photo editing software can readily do this for an entire folder of photos. For posting on the net, it's best for your photos to be 800x600 pixels (that's the size of many computer screens, 800 pixels wide by 600 pixels tall). This display size will also make your file size smaller, meaning that it will be quicker to upload and quicker for your fans to download. Most of the photos people will post will be between 150 and 500 kb in size.
2. Click on the "reply" button in this thread (this part of the discussion forum).
3. Change the subject to something appropriate to your photo.
4. In the message area, put whatever info you think we need to make sense of the photo. What, where, when, why, and how.... (if they aren't obvious - for example, where your camera was hidden...) This would be where you would make your blackmail demands.
5. Click on the browse button below the message space and navigate to your cd, floppy, or hard drive. Select the photo (short file names are best). The file location should appear in the blank beside "attachment." Then click post.
6. It will take a short period of time for your file to be uploaded. With Internet Explorer a little window opens with a scrolling bar to indicate something's happening. Once complete, you'll be automatically taken back to the "favorite photos" thread (or wherever you started).
7. To view photos, just click on the little file in a vise icon that appears at the bottom of the message. I've attached a donkey meat photo to this message, if you want to try opening it.

Detailed instructions on attaching documents, photos, presentations, etc. are in the handout distributed at the orientation. I'll put another copy up in just a moment.
