Jem,
I presume that you have already downloaded the "UPLOADER" programme from
msn.com.
Then you will find that MSN.com has a temperemental nature. Sometimes, it
will recognise the .jpeg file but most times will not. So when this
happens, I open that .jpeg file into Corel Photopaint 5.0 and re-save it
into a compressed .bmp file. MSN.com will always recognise this compressed
file.
To upload, click on the file icon, see the red "tick" sign and click
upload. It tales about 20-30 seconds to get the thumbnail onto the website.
If you like to see some people pics in MSN.com, look under "35mm Images"
and "50mm Images" that I have posted.
