Rob,
Vaknso and I are both on AOL for example. As part of the deal we get
a certain
amount of 'free' web space. We are able to 'upload' images to this
space using
AOL's built in 'File Manager' software. So, firstly, which ISP are you
using to
access the web from? Do they offer something similar? Do they have
help files?
If so, try and find the section on FTP, up loading, or free web space.

I did post a basic guide about this, but without the search facility
available, it is hard to find the post.. 😳

Anyway, any problems, just send it to me, and I will host it here on
the site.

This is Russ's guide...

This is a quick and easy way to get your photo on the web if you don't
have your own web space ( or you do, but find it all too complicated)

1) Go here in a new browser window. >>

http://www.smartgroups.com/pictures/openalbum.cfm?
GID=1579394&AlbumID=2459097

This a site called SmartGroups.

2) Click the join group icon. Regsiter, but enter rubbish if you want -
you do *NOT* need to verify your email address, so you can use a
made up one if you wish [advised] Do make a note of it though,
so you can log back in in the future if you need too change your
image.

3)Once registered, either hit the URL I posted earlier again, or browse
to photalbums (under pictures). Visit the profiles photo album.

4)Click the 'add picture' icon, select a photo off your own machine by
pressing the browse button.

5) The picture will be added, click on it to view it full size


6)Right click it to view the properties of the picture - copy
the 'address' part. (You can highlight it and then copy with cntrl & 'C'
if you want)

7)Paste/type this address into the URL field on 'your settings' on
RHP - then update.

8) Finished - go view your profile to see you picture!

Hope this helps - one day we will add an option to upload straight in
to RHP itself - but that might be sometime off.
