Visit Craigslist and select the appropriate section for your ad. In the top right corner of your browser, click 'post.'
Enter the relevant information into the fields for post title, description, etc. Click Add/Edit Images---if this option is not available, follow the alternative method in Section 2.
Click the 'Choose File...' button and locate the image on your hard drive. Craigslist allows you to directly upload four images with one post. The website will automatically decrease the size of larger images to a maximum of 300 by 300 pixels, so it is unnecessary to upload especially large images. If you want to preserve the resolution of an image without uploading large images, use the PNG file format (available as a savable format in most image editing software applications). The Craigslist interface will always reduce the size, however, so use the alternative instructions in Section 2 if your image needs to be larger.
Click 'Continue' to see a preview of your uploaded image. If the image still looks unsuitable, click 'Edit' to try a different image or follow the alternative method in Section 2.
Off-Site Images
Visit a free image-hosting website (such as Imgur, Photobucket or Tinypic). Follow the website's instructions to upload your high-quality photo. Copy the URL listed in the Direct Link field.
Visit Craigslist in a separate browser tab or window. Select the appropriate section for your ad. In the top-right corner of your browser, click 'post.'
Enter the relevant information into the fields for post title, description, etc.
Skip a line beneath the end of your description. Enter the HTML code for images into the field and paste your image URL into the source. If you do not know the HTML image code offhand, enter the following code into the description field and paste your image URL into the indicated field (between the quotation marks):
Click 'Continue' to see a preview of your post. If the image is too large or small, return to the image hosting website and use the available resizing tools to reduce the image size. Sizes around 500 by 500 pixels should be suitable for presenting a high-quality image without overwhelming your potential client or customer.

How to Automatically Replay Videos on an iPhoneIn Feburary 2016 18,
In Feburary 2016 18,
Touch 'iPod' on the bottom of the phone screen and then tap 'Playlists.'
Tap 'Add Playlist,' type a name for the title of the playlist and then tap 'Save.' The 'Songs' list automatically pops up on the screen.
Touch 'Videos' at the bottom of the screen, touch the name of the video you want to watch and then tap 'Done.' The name of your playlist appears at the top of the screen and the name of your video appears on the list.
Tap the name of your video to start watching. At the top left corner of the screen appears two arrows forming an oval.
Touch the oval repeatedly until it turns blue. Note that one of the settings has the oval turn blue with a '1' over it. You want the setting without the '1' if you want the video to repeat indefinitely. Choosing the option with the '1' means the video only repeats once.

How to Make a Clan WebsiteIn Feburary 2016 18,
In Feburary 2016 18,
Sign up for Web hosting with the host of your choice. Examples of popular paid hosts include Hostgator, HostMonster, and GoDaddy. There are also free Web hosts such as Webs or Wordpress.
Install a free content management system such as Wordpress or Joomla. Content management systems act as platforms for your website---you can manage your website's content and appearance with ease using these systems. These systems eliminate the hassle of manually editing and configuring each of your web pages, which is why millions of websites use them. Your Web host has a tool that automatically installs these systems for you. If you are having trouble finding it, contact customer support. (Keep in mind that Wordpress Web hosting comes pre-installed with the Wordpress content management system.) Installation is very straightforward and should take no more than a minute or two---just follow the instructions.
Navigate to your content management system admin panel login page. The link for this page is provided for you after installation. Log in with the credentials you provided at installation.
Add content to your website using your CMS. You have the option of creating new Web pages, publishing posts, and more. Wordpress has a text/HTML (HyperText Markup Language) editor built into it. You may wish to publish an application for aspiring members to fill out, general clan information, and upcoming events. Ultimately, you are the webmaster---it is up to you to decide what to publish on your site.
Personalize your website. Wordpress and Joomla both have highly customizable widgets that you can drag and drop into various parts of the Web page. They also have visual themes that instantly change the appearance of your entire website. In addition, they have plug-ins that allow you to add additional functions to your website----for example, the 'Akismet' plug-in filters out spam comments from appearing on your website.

Is Flickr a Content Delivery Network (CDN)?In Feburary 2016 15,
In Feburary 2016 15,
A content delivery network is simply a way to describe a method for getting information to you over the Internet. Without a CDN, when someone requests information from you, a central server sends the information out over the Internet. If the client is geographically located in a faraway place, it can take quite some time for the information to flow through all the required Internet servers before it reaches its destination. With a CDN, instead of a single central server your information is duplicated on a number of servers located around the world. When someone requests information from you, the user is automatically directed to the server that's physically closest to him.
CDN Benefits
The largest benefit of a CDN is the reduction in time that it takes to deliver information to you. While generally it only takes a extra few hundred milliseconds to send data across the world, if your user is loading a Web page with a number of files, all those extra hundreds of milliseconds add up to a fairly long wait time. CDNs also help reduce traffic on your main servers, allowing many more people to download your information at once without causing a traffic bottleneck.
Flickr
On its face, Flickr is not a CDN. Flickr is simply a website that allows you to store, display and access image files. While many websites do use Flickr for content delivery, for instance, by having a Web page link to images stored on Flickr, the service isn't intended to be a method for reducing content access speeds. However, if your single server is getting bombarded with requests and is spending most of its time uploading images to users, using Flickr to store those images instead of your server is one option that will give you some relief similar to a CDN-based solution.
Does Flickr Use a CDN?
Since Flickr serves users around the world, you may automatically assume that it uses a CDN, but that's not necessarily true. Traceroutes -- which measure the paths and delays of packets as they travel across a network -- to the same page from around the world show that Flickr uses a CDN for most of the static imagery on the site, like the logos and company information, but not for the images. This makes sense, as duplicating a database the size of Flickr's several times would result in an enormous use of data, most of which would be useless as these images are rarely accessed from multiple physical locations.

How Do I Back Up My Contacts on My Samsung Omnia?In Feburary 2016 14,
In Feburary 2016 14,
Your Samsung Omnia purchase included a USB data cable. Use this cable to connect your Pocket PC device to your desktop computer. The Windows Mobile Device Center software will automatically detect the presence of your Omnia and initiate the synchronization process. By default, Windows Mobile Device Center will attempt to synchronize your contacts, email, calendar, and tasks with those already in Microsoft Outlook. If your Omnia is ever broken or lost, you can sync a new device with Microsoft Outlook and regain all of your original contacts without any data loss. For added protection of your contacts, you can export your entire Outlook contact list into one archive file. By selecting the 'Import and Export' option in the Microsoft Outlook 'File' menu, you can follow the prompts to export all of your contacts into a single file that can then be saved onto a CD or DVD for external storage. This will further protect your contact list from any potential desktop computer failure or hard drive problems.

What Is a Place Holder?In Feburary 2016 09,
In Feburary 2016 09,
If a domain name and Web hosting service are purchased before a site design is complete, a place holder can inform visitors of the upcoming completion of your site.
Considerations
When uploading a place holder, it is best to make it very simple. Your hosting provider may automatically upload a place holder until you design your site.
Warning
Be sure that you finish your design quickly, as visitors may never return if they see a place holder. Some websites never advance beyond having a place holder page, so be sure to state when your site will be complete.
Types
There are two types of place holder pages. The first is a simple HTML page uploaded by the page designer. This can simply explain that the site is under design and offer a target launch date. Other place holders are uploaded by Web hosting companies. These pages can include advertisements for their services and other similar domains for sale.
Expert Insight
Having a place holder can be helpful when designing a website. However, continue the development of your website to make sure the place holder does not become your permanent homepage. If your hosting provider offers place holder templates that include advertisements for their services, it is best to overwrite this file with your own page.
