How to upload your picture

Several modules on Squidoo give you the option to upload a picture.

The most popular two modules where a picture is used is the Introduction, Contents & Discovery Tool module and the Text module.

When you open up a Text module, you will see the picture area below where you type the text in the box.



Click on "Browse" and a "Choose file" pop up box will appear.

Locate the image you want to use on your computer (harddrive).



Once you locate the image on your computer, click on it.

You will now see that the image file name automatically appears in the "file name" box.

Click on "Open"



You will now see that the full file name now appears on Squidoo, ready to upload.

Click on the orange "Upload Photo" button.



You will now see that image as shown above.

Click on the module save button and you are done!

Quick Tips

Be mindful of the size of image you upload.

If it is too large, it may not look right in the module.

You may have to resize your image smaller before you upload it.

    Now I know how to do it, I knew I could count on you! You do great basic tutorials that are easy for all to understand. (I'm one of all...)

    Another helpful tutorial. I'm so grateful Squidoo hosts photos for us. I keep them on my hard drive as a backup, though. Once in awhile one of them will mysteriously disappear.

    I am looking everywhere for the maximum size of a photo that Squidoo allows and can't seem to find it anywhere. I need to let our photographer know before next weekend's Freedom Fest so sure would appreciate it if you could direct me in the right direction. I have read about 6 How To lenses this morning but none gave the exact size requirements.
