I have a photo in Adobe that I want to post. It is of a bird I need identified, so it’s nothing bad. How do I do that? I don’t have a website. ---

There’s a number of places that will give you a free website and/or places to upload images. Here’s one of them: [http://fff.fathom.org/pages/](http://fff.fathom.org/pages/) That’s **OpalCat** ’s message board. ---

Have someone host it for you. I’d offer but I don’t have a site at the moment. ---

We don’t allow images on the Straight Dope Message Board any longer. We USED to allow them, but people abused the privilege by posting copyrighted images, and by posting humonguous images. Lynn For the Straight Dope ---

If you don’t want to set up an account with anyone, I am offering to post it on my university-granted webspace. Email it to me. But, if you’re going to be doing this a lot, it’s a really good idea to get some webspace. ---

Ok I am at work right now, I have the pic at home. I’ll email to **Opal’s** site, or **Achernar’s**. later today. It’s nothing bad, as I said. It’s a pic of a Bird I have never seen…
