when typing your post you will notice the icon bar above where you type. 3rd from the right is what looks like a green tree, or to me, a little green t.v. set on a stand
you click on that, this opens a box and you click on 'Select' to select a file to upload - presumably from 'your computer'...
you can then browse your pictures on your p.c. and double click on the one you want to upload. When that file has transferred to the box, click on 'upload'. It takes time, and you should get a box with a red 'x' in it when it's completed [that's what I get anyway]. Click 'save' and your photo should appear in your post...
I hope you followed that alright, I do find it a bit messy on this forum... but in it's favour, at least we don't have to use 'photobucket' if we don't want.... but if you do then click on upload 'from an external site'...
I use the cake tin liners from Lakeland instead of foil. It's a brillant blog. The writer is one of the regulars on the other Forum I'm a member of - if you're interested in cooking give it a look http://www.wildfood.info/index.php - I'm afraid the first few posts of new members have to go through moderation 'cos we had problems with a Troll, but after that Bob's your uncle, it's plain sailing and a very friendly bunch like on here
I have a different name over there - see if you can spot me

..a tricky one to answer, it'll take a bit of time I think...
but a very nice forum I must say, and I shall be looking in to see what I can find - thank you so much for letting me know. I may register later on when I get more time.... but I like the enthusiasm and the recipe choices. People seem to like Rachel Allen's - I like some of her baking, not all... I'm always interested to read what other's are doing in the kitchen...
..yes those Lakeland baking cases are very good, I used to use their liners a lot. Pity there isn't a shop near me now, and I don't buy enough from them for mail order...
...lovely fruit cake from Scotkat, especially one made with wholemeal, which I use a lot....... we could all do with a slice of that...
I wonder do any of you use supermarket own brand flour for baking? I go for branded personally. Not sure if I'm allowed to say but I will anyway, Allinson's or Marriage's flour I like best. Waitrose do a good selection too... and I do prefer Canadian flour for bread...
Cardomom Short bread, slightly over-cooked as I got distracted. I think the carroway seed ones I made last week are the most impressive short bread I've ever made.
I have an assortment of flours - I buy most of it from the local farm shop who are supplied by Letheringsett Mill - I buy their stoneground wholemeal for our bread, and I also use their Golden Pastry flour which has a little very fine cornmeal in it and makes a lovely crisp golden pastry. I usually buy their plain and SR flour too, but I'm also happy to use either Homepride or Waitrose own because Waitrose is our local supermarket - I've also had good results with Tesco and Sainsbugs - I've never noticed a real difference in the end result but if I were making something really special then I'd probably avoid own brand flour, but not sure why - just because I suppose
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
^very much agree with that. Wessex Mill is another I've used and that's been surprisingly good. Dove's Farm organic I like too... and yes Waitrose have a really good selection and this is where I do buy their own brand... however I stick with Marriage's whenever I can... depends where I'm shopping...
I aim to make that nectarine and raspberry cake at the weekend. I shall only post a photo if I think it's as nice as yours...

Thanks Salino, I made it for Easter and it was rather nice!
It was your instructions I used to upload the photo, I had often wondered how to do it
