Welcome to WoodenBoatBlog.com
If you are a wooden boat builder, owner or just want to be -- this web site is for you. You are invited to register for an account and create a Builder's Blog or Log Book for your boat. You can also upload photographs and participate in wooden boat discussion forums.
Registration is free and the web site is free and easy to use. You don't have to know how to create web pages to have your own boat blog. Your name and email address will never be sold or given away. The site is funded by the sponsors listed on the right side the web page. I maintain WoodenBoatBlog.com as a hobby. I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I have. -- Paul Nelson (paul@pnelson.us)

NOTE: Resize your images to be no larger than 1024x768 or they will not upload. The best size for displaying in your post is about 350x225. Tutorial for adding photos... <<< watch this! It will help. ;-)
Note: After you register, I'll create a Builder's Blog and Log Book in the categories listing for you. I try to check for new users every night so it may take a day or so for your categories to appear. You can still post right away and file the post later if you like.
The best size for image uploads is about 400px wide. Anything else will not leave much room for text.
NOTE: I updated the content input tools to include a WYSIWYG toolbar. You still have to upload your photos but now it's easy to add them to the story. Just upload as usual and then edit your story and add photos from your uploaded files using the 
icon. You'll see the URL to your photos listed in the file uploads dialog box. The methods below still work for those of you who like to use HTML. Just disable rich-text editor and you're back to plane old HTML.
To display images, attach the image as a file and then create a link to it in your post like this. img src="photos/thistlethumb.jpg align="right" vspace="3" hspace="3" 
(Just change the name of the photo, and insert < > at the beginning and end of the tags.)
The image will display just like the one in this post. Be sure to change the "Input format" to "Full HTML" if you are inserting image tags. If you want to create a gallery of images, send me a zip file with the attached images. Here's a screen capture of what this would look like in the body of your message:

Paul, Do you have a preferred method of loading photo's. I really like the photo gallery you created of my zip file and wonder if there is a way that I can add more photo's to it as I take them. I especially like having the three sizes to choose from. Can you let me know the three size formats and if I can add them to the photo's file? Or if there is a help area I should be looking in let me know. Again great site. KCD
This is a great site and much appreciated. I was able to attach photos and create a link to them but I was unable to figure out how to make them display. I tried to follow your instructions but I think I am missing something as it doesn't seem to work for me. Is there a help function on editing that might point me in the right direction? Thanks again.
You were almost there with the images. Take a look at the changes I made and now they show up fine. I also added a little screen shot to the intro message. I hope this will help. -- Paul
Where was the input option? I thought that might be it but I couldn't find where to make the update to full HTML. Thanks very much for your assistance. Is it possible to edit the page again? I am going to send you a zip file of 74 photo's. My thought is to create several catchup blogs of the build to date. I would probably remove the current one and then add it back after I caught up if that is possible to do. If you think this is too many photos let me know and i will par them down. It is the same photo's as on fishy fish but i would add build thoghts and notes. I numbered the photos on the image name so they would be in order. Thanks Paul

When I create a new blog entry this is a facsimile of what I see. I have the text box for entering my text and then I see a formatting guidelines note talking about HTML tags allowed and then I get the attachments listing. If I look at your screen shot it seems there should be radio boxes to select the type of input, fill HTML in this case. If so i don't see the radio boxes. Thanks for your help. I sent you an email with an attachment to the email listed in your entry above. Thanks for your help. KCD

Sorry Kenneth... I needed to turn on that feature for users. It should work for you now. Yes you can go back and edit pages.
;-) Paul
Thanks very much
