There are quite a few of us newbies here. I suspect I'm not the only one with questions on how to use the site. Is there a 'how to' section that I'm not readily seeing?

Example - I wanted to link a photo from someone else's journal. I see there is a 'link' option at the bottom of that photo and in the tool bar above, there is a link icon. But I can't seem to get the two of them to work together. Am I allowed to link some one else's photo?

What I wanted to do is open a forum question about the most beautiful passes people have cycled - linking a recent photo from the Andersons' journal in Tucson. 

All of us newbies appreciate the warm welcome here! Thank you.

As far as linking photos goes, the only method I’m aware of is to use the link option on the photo, copy its address from the top, and then insert it as a link elsewhere.  It’s ‘just’ a link though, as in it doesn’t bring up the photo where you’ve added the link - to see it, you have to navigate through the link to view the photo.  It would be a nice enhancement to the website I think, once Jeff frees up from importing a zillion journals.

As an example, you could look at what m doing with my Poet’s Corner forum entry.  I wanted to pull together in one place all of the poetry folks have added as comments on my photos.  I’m adding links to the original pages, but then just re-adding the photo itself.  Not the best, but I don’t know of a better option yet.  

I really like your idea though.  It would be great to have an catalog of posts to great passes and climbs.  I was just reading Wayne’s post of his ride up Beartooth Pass, a climb I hoped to do years ago if I hadn’t been stopped by snow in July.

Got it - thanks for the tutorial. I've thusly created a new post about mountains and passes. Feel free to add or correct me!

I created journals using my old journal posts from the other site as well as blog posts that did on Wordpress. 

The download I had of my old journals had the pictures separate from the text so I just used the camera feature in the journaling menu to plop them into my posts.

The Wordpress pix came over with the text in one go. That was great except for the fact that I had shrunk many of the pictures to keep my account under a size threshold to save some $$. I exceeded the threshold anyway so it was a bit pointless. For these shrunken pix, I deleted them in my CycleBlaze journal and replaced them with full sized pictures.

It took a long time but it's done. 

Hope this info is useful.
