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 Open Files With PTB ExtensionsIn Feburary 2016 14,
In Feburary 2016 14,
Find out what the file is, if you're not already sure. There are three major possibilities: the PTB file could be a guitar tablature generated by Power Tab Editor; it could be a table generated by the computer-assisted design program Pro/Engineer; or it could be a backup archive created by the Peachtree accounting program. If you have either Pro/Engineer or Peachtree installed on your system, it's likely the source of the file; if you downloaded the PTB file from a guitar tab website, its identity isn't a mystery.
Obtain a program that will open the file. If it's a guitar tab file, you can download either the Power Tab Editor (for Windows) or TabView (for Mac OS) -- both programs are linked in Resources. Pro/Engineer and Peachtree files, meanwhile, require purchased programs to open -- see Resources.
Install the program. To install Power Tab Editor, right click the downloaded ZIP file, select 'Extract,' then double click 'Setup.exe' and follow the on-screen instructions. To install TabView, double click the downloaded DMG file and follow the on-screen instructions. To install Pro/Engineer or Peachtree, just insert the CD.
Navigate to the location of the PTB file and double click it to open it. If it doesn't work, run the program you installed and click 'File,' then 'Open,' and select the PTB file.

How to Fix Internet Explorer When It Can't Open a WebpageIn Feburary 2016 14,
In Feburary 2016 14,
Find out whether you can view any web pages. Open Internet Explorer and type in the address of a site with which you are unfamiliar. If you need an idea, look around the room and type in a brand name you see, such as 'Sony.com' or 'Saltines.com.' The reason for this is that if you have recently visited a site, the 'cached' files might appear on your screen and not provide an accurate determination. If you are able to see a new site, the issue is likely with the website you are trying to visit.
Check the connection to the modem or router. If you are unable to view any web pages, your connection might have been lost. Check physical connections to see if anything is unplugged. If you are using a wireless connection, verify that it is still working.
Unplug the modem. Pull both the power cord and the phone line or Ethernet plug out of the back of the modem and leave it alone for a few minutes. Plug the cords back in and allow it to power up completely. Try the connection again.
Contact your Internet service provider. A cable, DSL or phone line outage is a common cause for connectivity issues.
Delete Internet Explorer's history. Close any open applications and open a new Internet Explorer window. Click 'Tools' and then click 'Delete Browsing History.' Click each 'Delete' button, except passwords if you allow IE to retain them for you.

What Are the Benefits of FTP?In Feburary 2016 11,
In Feburary 2016 11,
Files are uploaded to an FTP server. The server has a large memory capacity to host the files available for transfer. Files can be accessed through any Internet browser or any FTP software, referred to as a 'client.' Sometimes files are available permanently, but oftentimes, especially through a company, they may be available only temporarily. Check with the administrator to find out whether there is an automatic delete time frame.
Access
One way to access these files directly is to use the FTP address through an Internet browser. The address will be similar to a website address, except instead of 'http://,' it will begin with 'ftp://.' You may need a login ID and password to access some FTP sites, which will typically automatically pop up in a dialogue box.
Inside an FTP Site
Once you're logged in, there will usually be a file structure, with main folders and subfolders, similar to what you may have in 'My Documents' on your computer. This structure is set up by an administrator. Folders and files may be public or private, and access may include adding, moving, editing and/or deleting; so, if it seems like you can't do something, check with the administrator about the limits to your access.
'Hidden' FTP
However, when downloading from the internet, the FTP site is probably using an anonymous login, which is why you may have never known it was happening. The FTP address itself is usually hidden from the end user, though the file transfer process is the same.
Easier Access
If you start using an FTP site regularly, find yourself with multiple IDs or just want an easier access point, then an FTP client is something to consider. There are many free options available. It makes uploading much easier and protects downloads---simply drag and drop. It will store all of your frequented FTP sites, along with their respective logins and passwords, in one convenient place. Check out the resources below for a start, find one that suits your needs and preferences, and let the file transfers begin.

How to Make a Online Inventory SystemIn Feburary 2016 03,
In Feburary 2016 03,
Make sure you have a domain name set up for your business. Your domain name is the address that people will type into their browser to reach your inventory system. (Yourinventorysystem.com) domain registrars can charge between $1 and $14 per year.
Obtain web hosting for your online inventory system. Online web hosts are responsible for providing the memory and web-space for the content and traffic for your website. Web host can charge anywhere from three dollars and up per month. If you already have a website for your business, then you already have web hosting.
Determine if you like to use inventory software that has already been created or if you need to hire a programmer to integrate your inventory system into your website. Use sites like Getafreelancer.com and Elance.com to locate freelance computer programmers to make a custom inventory system for your site. Based on your budget, programmers from around the world will be on your project.
Purchase online inventory software to integrate with your website. For example visual inventory is a software that does not require you to create a website as it will automatically integrate to your web or network server. You will be able to input the type of products you have and customize the software to maintain inventory for either multiple owners, departments, locations, etc. Pricing for various inventory software can be free or you can pay over $5000. Purchasing inventory software is an alternative to hiring a computer programmer.
Make sure you and other colleagues test out the inventory system before going live. Test out the software for glitches and other issues that may need to troubleshoot. You may need to conduct a training session who will be accessing your inventory system to ensure they know what they are doing.
