About photos and videos
You can include as many photos or videos in your ad as you think necessary. You also can link to another Web site with photos and videos, such as Flickr.com, YouTube, Picasa, SmugMug or other media-sharing site.
If you upload media for your ad to this site, rather than linking to it, they should be scaled for Web display. You have the option when uploading a photo whether to display a thumbnail with a link to a larger photo, or the full photo itself. The editing toolbar provides control of image alignment, horizontal and vertical spacing, image border and other options.
Having trouble?
We can post your ad for you. E-mail your posting with complete information about the boat, including photos and video, to webmaster[at]woodenboatfinder.org. You also can mail the information to us. See the Contact Page.
