Post a picture of your Christmas Tree

[64Guitars]

Haylie and Chezedog inspired me to create this topic and poll.

https://songcrafters.org/community/index.php?topic=17194.msg214376#msg214376


So post a picture of your Christmas Tree. You can include yourself in the photo if you like, though that's not required. I'll add names to the poll of any members who post a picture so we can vote on the best-looking tree.

Voting runs till Jan 1.


Update: I've been asked to provide instructions for resizing your photos, so here they are.

Most modern digital cameras take very high resolution photos, which is great except that the file size is quite big. This can really slow down the loading of pages here at Songcrafters, so you should resize your photos before posting. For these Christmas tree photos, I'd suggest a height of 600 pixels. There are many programs available that can resize images. You probably have several on your computer already. For example, most Windows users probably have a copy of Microsoft Paint on their computer. And most digital cameras come with software that includes resizing capabilities. I use GIMP which is an excellent free graphics program.

Because there are so many programs available, I can't provide detailed resizing instructions for each one. Therefore, you should consult the documentation for your graphics program or search for help online. There are plenty of tutorials and YouTube videos on resizing.

Also, there are many simple image resizing utilities on the web which you can find with a Google search:

It's okay to attach large images as long as they don't display on the initial page load. In other words, you can attach the image but don't display it with the [img][/img] tags as that would slow down the loading of the page. Instead, you should attach a reduced image along with your large image and use the [imglink=][/imglink] tags to display the smaller image and link to the large image. This is what I've done for the first few photos posted in this topic. You'll find detailed instructions about using the [imglink=][/imglink] tags here:

But remember, the [imglink=][/imglink] tags are only to be used when you're posting two sizes of the same image. If you're posting only one (small) image, then use the standard [img][/img] tags instead.

Finally, if you really can't figure this out, then attach your large image and I'll resize it and edit your post, as I've done with the first few large images that were posted.

I've got a little Christmas tree
It's looking very sparse
If my husband doesn't stop moaning
I'm going to shove it right up his . . .

Merry Christmas everyone
