I designed a Kamala t-shirt

I find the use of an intermediary web site to post pictures very annoying. It would no doubt be easier to do from my pc laptop but i try to stay off the internet and use that machine just for work. Almost all my media is on my tablet.

What Kind of tablet?

It all boils down to storage. If you do the drag/drop, the photo ends up being stored here, which means storage cost goes up. Photo file sizes can get huge, which is why we have a limit. It's not unlike the purges we used to do of posts on the other place; it was to keep storage costs down.
If you put the photo on another website, the storage costs are on them. We just store a link to their site and display the photo. We don't store the photo here.
The old WTF didn't have any option for drag/drop and required a third party host. Resizing had to be done manually, or the pics were huge over there and messed up how the thread looked.

I see @Steve-Miller and @dolmansaxlil are logged on...they do a lot more from tablets than I do and can probably help with questions.
@dolmansaxlil had a shortcut for an iPad that automatically resizes photos, I think. I'll try to find the post here, unless she chimes in first.

@pique - you posted a photo of you and your pup when you first signed up here. Do you remember how you did it? Was it from your tablet?
-
I email myself the picture - that gives me an option to limit the file size. Then I save that to post.

@Rontuner Brilliant!

Post images resizes the photo for you when you upload it. It prompts you, just select resize for message boards. Copy the direct link and paste it into the photo url that comes up when you hit the photo icon in the full reply box .

Another short cut< which should work from a table is to take a screen shot, copy it and upload thst. The screen shots are usually smaller file size than a regular photo. On the iPhone or iPad, after you take a screen shot, you have the option to copy it, so I would guess other platforms are similar.

So WHERE is this bloody T-shirt design?
-
I tried all the suggestions here. Jodi, if I send it to you via FB Messenger, would you post it here for me? Or would anyone else like to volunteer? PD, I could send it to you also, if you know how to post it here.
-
OK. I went ahead and posted it to FB. Now I will try posting it here using the link.

Ugh. How do you get rid of that type on the sides? I'm not loving this format. grrrr.

I'm not seeing any type (text?), so not sure what you're referring to. Did you redo the embed, or did you just delete what ever text that you were talking about?
Oh, and nice graphic design!

@wtg that's because I figured out how to get rid of it.
I offered this design to the campaign the day after the convention, and after looking at their swag offerings on the official website, and seeing how unexciting they were.
I waited about a week, but never heard back. Some friends have said they want the t-shirt. Which would be in all black. But I don't have any idea if it would be okay to do this on my own. Furthermore, by the time I get it done, it would probably be too late to have much impact (if it were to have any impact at all).
I used to do this professionally, but it's been a long time ago. Like before people used computers to design with. Just learning how to create this on my laptop was what took the most time!
