    Visual Art

    As a companion piece to the poetry topic, I thought it would be nice if people could post any visual art they had created (or created by others that they especially liked) related to Buddhism.

    I'll be glad to start, just as soon as I figure out how to compress the file so it fits here. I probably should have thought of that first, but I was being spontaneous

              Alan, you can use http://www.imageshack.us/ as a substitute.

              It can resize the image as well.

                  OK, I've resized it, but the extension (jpeg) is not allowed. What is allowed? The FAQ on posting images is not particularly as full of information as I would have liked.

                      I just tested it at imageshack and it works with .jpeg. It will convert it to .jpg.

                                      Oh Alan. ok. I'll break it down for you step by step:

                                      1.Go to the imageshack link

                                      2. Upload your image (use the resize option if you need)

                                      3. When it's finished uploading, copy the directlink at the bottom of the page.

                                      4. In your post type [img]pastedirectlink[/img]

                                      That's it.
