Tiptoid -

Have you ever logged on to your email and wanted to send to your friends those great pictures you took with that digital camera of yours? Well here's how to do it.

• After you've hooked up your digital camera to your PC or laptop, go to your existing email site – e.g. yahoo.com, aol.com, hotmail – and log on using your email address and password. Your home screen and a welcome sign appear.
• On yahoo.com, the option tools are on the top left.

Now I'm going to show you the Yahoo way of adding email attachments, because that's where I have an account.

1. Select Compose - which means - open a new email page in order to type your message.
2. Click Attachments. A documents page will open. This is where you have already saved your pictures.
3. Click on one of your pictures. Drag it to the attachments page. Click Save. The click returns you to your email document. Your beautiful pictures are now attached to your email, ready to be sent to your friends.

Sending email attachments with pictures is a lot of fun. Everyone is doing it. So should you!
