I just bought a digital camera and one of the reasons I wanted it was because I see stovebolts all over around where I live, some for sale others that have been sitting there for a long time and could likely be had for a price. What I was wondering is this. I'm thinking about taking pictures of them, inserting text into the pic regarding sale price, contact number, address, location, etc. and posting them somewhere here on the site. I need to know how to do this without using up too much bandwidth and where on the site would be the appropriate place to put them. I was thinking about the available stovebolts forum but I don't want to put too many pics in there and tie things up. Any feedback?

you'd hafta put them on a host someplace and then just put a link to'em from here [the stovebolt spotting alert would be the spot] so we can click up ones we might be interested in

the other possibility is maybe your ISP provides some space for their users to have a homepage - some do, and that's even easier to set up

I just tried it (I set up an account on webshots) and put a thread in 'stovebolt spotting' for a 63 c-10 I found. Wanna check it out and see if I did it right?
Thanks,
David

It's only 30 bucks a year and I can use it for my family stuff and post up to 3000 pics.
