How do I put a letter on this site that requires translation

Post by dposit »

I have an old letter from my aunt in Capurso, as well as other letters and documents. I can scan them but don't know how to add it to this posting.

One of the easiest ways to upload and post an image is with
www.imageshack.com

Scan and save your image.
Go to the above website (no registration needed) and click on Media Upload.
Browse for your image and click OPEN, then UPLOAD.
When you have uploaded your image...COPY the "direct link" code and paste it into your post.

Thnaks for your reply. I did as you suggested and after finding the saved scanned item I tried to open it and got the following message: "File .... has not a valid content". Any suggestions on what I am doing wrong or what my next step should be?

When you scanned the image, did you save it as a ".jpg" file?
