I finally figured out how to embed pictures in these posts and thought I would share so others can do it if they want as well.
You need a photosharing account like http://www.photobucket.com
Upload your photos to the account. Under each photo you will see several codes. Cut and Paste the IMG code into the text of your post and it will automatically appear in the post.
Done.
Here’s an example:
by the way if anyone sees this rocket at the Pawnee it went MIA on the 4/10 launch.

Hey Sean,
Bummer, sorry to hear that. Do we know what direction, roughly? towards the windmill to N.E.?
Adrian
The upper level winds were heading almost straight West to East, unlike the lower-level winds. We found John Wilke’s rocket (14k+ and a new I record, congrats!) about 1.75 miles 20 degrees N of E from from the pads.

John Wilke – send me the I record details and I’ll get it posted.

Thanks for the info Adrian, I may head back out there again this week if I get a chance. I have a friend with a plane too so I may do your approach to trying to find it. How long did it take you flying to find it? what altitude was the plane at? I’m hoping to find it before the grasses get too high. -Sean

I had an advantage because Ed’s flight was found with a tracker, and it went to nearly the same altitude at the same time. On our second pass over that vicinity, I spotted the chute. It was less than 5 minutes after we were in the area. Larry Haynes may have a better estimate of the altitude, but I’d say it was a few hundred feet over the ground. I had a 30″ bright day-glow chute, and I knew it was deployed based on the last tracker signal. I think you’ll have a much larger area to look, it’s smaller, and you have less info about what configuration you’re looking for, so it looks like it would be a good challenge.

I use google’s Picasa Web albums and could not get any pictures to be posted, I have to use a url. Any Ideas on how to get that to work?

I haven’t used that before, perhaps there is a function or option to get the IMG code for certain photos. The other option, which only takes about 5 minutes, is to set up a free photobucket account, and get the IMG codes from there. I’m not sure how it works exactly but it does. The only thing I use my photobucket account for so far is for hosting rocketry photos specifically for this forum and the TQC#39 site. Perhaps someone else knows a different trick? -Sean

It’s fairly easy. You just use an [img]tag before the URL of the image you want to use, and then an[/img] tag after it. So, it’s like this:
[img](insert image URL here)[/img]

This what I get trying that way.
