Posting a picture on Live Chat/The Google way.

Go to Google on the internet. Open a Google Email account. Don’t confuse Picasa WEB account and Picasa on your computer, they are two separate tools for different jobs.
Google email link: http://mail.google.com/mail/help/open.h ... le%20email

Picasa link: http://picasa.google.com/

Picasa Web album link: https://www.google.com/accounts/Service ... ervice=lh2


If you have a Google Email you don’t need a second one. Picasa is owned by Google. Open a Picasa WEB account. This gives you a place to put pictures on the internet. Then you can post them on BCP Live Chat.

You should also down load and install Picasa on your computer. The reason I recommend Picasa on your computer is because it is great software and works seamlessly with the WEB album. Google Email and Picasa is free! I have used it for about 2 years with no problems.

Once you have your 3 accounts set up your ready to go. Picasa will scan your computer and make a copy of all your pictures into Picasa. This is a good thing. With just a few clicks you can upload a picture from Picasa on your computer to your WEB album.

Now in the WEB album click on a picture, this makes it bigger than a thumbnail size. Right click on the picture and choose “copy image location” Next, at BCP Live chat click the Image button and you will see 2 image tags in the typing area. Put the cursor between them right click and choose “Paste” hit the Enter key your done.

Do you use The Mozilla Firefox web browser? If not you should it is superior to Microsoft Internet Explorer. If you are or start having problems with MS IE try Mozilla Firefox, you will be glad you did. It is free, just google it.
