Adding Images

You will be adding images to your post. Original images taken by you are preferable, but if you don't have a high quality photo (or want to add additional photos), you can use images that are not your own if they do not violate copyright laws and are properly attributed. See note about Creative Commons images below.

File management: we will all be sharing a single media library. Make sure to use a unique file naming convention.
