Newbie Here....

[kikibird04]

Hello all, like the title says, I'm new.
I recognize a few of you from another board...hello guys.
For the rest of you, my name is Angela, I've had birds in my life all of my life but they became my passion only about 8 years ago.
I'm owned by:
1 Jenday Conure-Harry
2 Cockatiels-Abbey and Lucky
2 Eastern Rosellas-Elvis and Nemo
10 Peach Faced Lovebirds-Summer, Stanley, Yellow, Newbie, Pip, Squirt, Mr. Pickles, Speckles, Milo, and Otis.
I'm also soon to be owned by a 10+ year old U2 officially named 'Daddy's girl', but when she gets home with me she will be known as Gracie.
That's my brood.
A few questions: How do you post pictures? And where do you find those adorable bird icons that a lot of you have? I've been lurking a bit in case you all can't tell.

Photos: It helps a lot to have a photobucket account! Check out the link below to figure out one way to upload photos

Using PhotoBucket

When you go to post a message, place the URL (or address) of the image below the text, and put *img* tages around it... example: [img]image url[img] and it should show up in your sig!

If you want the image centered just put *center* tags around the *img* tags. Such as (center)(img)image url(/img)(/center) though you want to use "[" "]" instead of "(" ")" (like the image only example, first one, above).

You can also upload images into the photo gallery here. Just go to the top of the page, look at the two bars of links (suround the board info and your account info). On the bottom bar, there is one that says "Album". Click on it, then click on "Upload Photos". It should be pretty self explanitory there!


As far as bird icons, there are some here thanks to one of our members!!! http://photobucket.com/albums/v340/G...Icons/?start=0

Hey Angela! Nice to see you here!

[kikibird04]

I already had a photobucket account...so lets see how this works....

[kikibird04]

Holy cow, that is huge! Harry would love it hee hee. Hey Freedom, how's it going? Any idea why that is so big? And any clue how to shrink it down? Lol, it's a little overpowering.

Err, yeah you have to use photobuckets like, 50 percent shrink button... LOL I have been told they have one, but I do not have an account with them...
It comes up that big cause BT automatically resizes the photos to fit their format, this board does not... happened to me the first time I tried to post a pic too, LOL.

Welcome to Birdboard! Harry is gorgeous-what a great picture of him! We are glad to have you here, and would love to see some more pictures!

welcome aboard. I love the picture of your Jenday conure. I am seriously thinking of adding one of those little cuties to my flock one of these days. I second the motion for more pictures!!

Welcome kikibird! Love the picture. I think if you resized that to avitar size it would be a very neat avitar.
