1. Goto: 2. Scroll down a little looking for the input boxes. If you go directly to the transloader from viewing the image, it will already be displayed in the first box (last visited URL).

First go to the image you want to upload. It will be surrounded by black. (Please do not confuse looking at an image with looking at an image on a web site. If the file ends with .html you are looking a web site.) After viewing the image, Go directly to: Beth's Uploader The image address will appear in the input box. Press the Upload button. If you did not go to Beth's Uploader after viewing an image, you can still go there and type in the URL (address) you want to upload. Erase what's in the box (last visited URL) Type in the URL of the image you want to upload Press the Upload button It's that easy! |

Do your own uploading! First go to the image you want to upload. (Do not confuse looking at an image "on" a web site with looking at an image. When you are viewing an image it will have a black background.) Hit your goto key Press the "show current" button You will see the address of your image. (If it ends in .html you are not looking at an image file- you are looking at a web page that has an image on it.) Press the cmd and <--- left arrow keys (if you don't have a cmd key, use your Windows™ Logo key). This gets the cursor in front of the URL Type this in: wtv-tricks:/add-to-scrapbook?mediaPath= Press your Return Key, then "Add to Scrapbook" Your image is now there! For example: I went to Draacs Gifs and clicked on santa1.gif I saw a photo of Santa I pressed the "goto" and then "show current" keys This address appeared: http://members.tripod.com/gifs123/page18/santa1.gif I pressed the cmd and Left arrow keys <--- to get my cursor in front of this address. and typed in the code. The address in my goto input box now looks like this: wtv-tricks:/add-to-scrapbook?mediaPath=http://members .tripod.com/gifs123/page18/santa1.gif From there I pressed my Return key and then "Add to Scrapbook" to upload Santa. You can "cut n paste" this code: wtv-tricks:/add-to-scrapbook?mediaPath= And then go to a free graphic site like Draacs. Everytime you see an image you want, press the goto and show current buttons and then paste the code in. This could save you a lot of time if you are going to upload a bunch of images at one time. |

The scrapbook image must be published on a page.
The quickest way to do this is:
Now go to: http://www.PBstorage.com/cgi-bin/view.cgi Type in the URL (web site address). Press the "Image URLs" button. You will see your photos with their URL (web site address) above it. For example: http://community-2.webtv.net/SecretAdmirer/xo/scrapbookFiles/importD28.jpg To transload it: Go to a Transloader, such as: http://www.Transloader.com Type in the URL of your Scrapbook image. Example: http://community-2.webtv.net/SecretAdmirer/xo/scrapbookFiles/importD28.jpg Click on the "Proceed to Step 2" button You will see your scrapbook file in the filled in the first box Next you fill out the FTP Host. FTP Host servers I know are: Angelfire: ftp.angelfire.com CrossWinds: ftp.crosswinds.net FortuneCity: ftp.fortunecity.com FreeSpeech: ftp.freespeech.org GeoCities: ftp.oocities.com GeoCities/Japan: ftp.geocities.co.jp NetTaxi: ftp.nettaxi.com PhotoPoint: ftp.photopoint.com TalkCity: home.talkcity.com TheGlobe: ftp.theglobe.com Tripod: ftp.tripod.com WebJump: ftp.webjump.com Xoom: ftp.xoom.com InternetTrash: ftp.internettrash.com So if you are at geocities, you would write: FTP Host: ftp.oocities.com Now that it will soon be on your web site, what do you want to call it? Put the new name in the box: Rename File: beth.jpg Sidenote: If the file you are transloading ended with ".jpg" rename your new file ending with .jpg Now you would write in your geocities (or tripod name, etc.) account name FTP Name:(R) bethsplace Next you fill in your geocities (or tripod, etc) password: FTP Password: ******* And then push "Transload File" button For further info on Transloading, Here's All I know about Transloading |

Note: The Scrapbook is your File Manager.
Currently the only files you can upload to your
Scrapbook are image files.
Note 2: The only way to have sound play on
your Page Builder site is to link to it.
WebTV users have two ways to put sound in their Page Builders . The first thing you need is the URL (address) of a sound file. I will use this fake midi file as an example: http://www.apbh.net/name.mid The first way to put sound in your Page Builder is to use the Microsoft tag:
All I did was put the file name inside of this tag: 
When your site is downloaded, this song will automatically play. If you want the file to play over and over, add this attribute inside the tag: loop="infinite"
Also, you can change the infinite to a number, such as "2" for it to play 2 times or "3" for it to play 3 times and stop.
The 2nd way is to use the Netscape tag:
When I put the of the URL (address) of the sound file, it looks like this:
As this is written (above) the sound file will not automaticaly play. A speaker image will show for the receiver to click on.
You can, however, use this tag to automatically play
by adding the attribute: autostart="true"
And if you want the sound to play over and over again, add this attribute: loop="true"
Why do Netscape and Microsoft use different html commands for sound? Well, because they want you to select their Browser. Computer users must select a browser and can only hear the compatible sound file. Aren't we lucky that we can hear either?
If you want to consider your computer friends, you
can use "both" tags!
Your Netscape friends browser will see this tag and play it. Now you will write: 
I guess you figured out that the above tag means "for the browser who can't see embed tags." So, write the bgsound tag after the noembed:
The noembed tag has a closing tag to tell the browser it's done: 
Here is the whole ball of wax:
Common errors in writing this stuff is not using the quotes or only using one quote. Another error is a typo. To troubleshoot you can break down the areas into checking the sound file, and then checking the tags. You can write perfect code, but if the URL is incorrect, it will never play. Sometimes I just erase and start from scratch.
Paul's conscience wants me to remind you when
selecting sound files, to only use one from a web
site that gives you permission to link. Read more

Important note: The scrapbook image must be
published on a page. Read below to do this, or you
can skip to part 2 of
linking
The quickest way to publish an image:
Now take your published page to:
http://www.PBstorage.com/cgi-bin/view.cgi
Important note: If you are going to use this link in your e-mail, remove the dash and number after community.
For example:
