I've recently bought a lovely new home where the previous owners were keen
gardners and i'm not able to tell anyone what i have, so i can ask advice
about the various plants and shrubs.

What i would like to do is take some pictues and upload them to first find
out what plants and shurbs are in the garden. Then clearly would be looking
for advice on how best to look after them.

I just don't want to break any taboos by just uploading photos.

Is it ok?

The urglers don't like people doing that. Post them on a web page and
provide a link.

You need to upload them to somewhere and then post a link to the pictures
here. There are some sites where you can do this for free, but someone else
will need to tell you where those are!

Saffy.

It isn't just an issue of "don't like". Pictures take up much
more room than text, and will cause premature expiry of
discussion messages, among other matters. Also, some news servers
will simply drop binaries on the floor when found in discussion
groups.

Important general point: the strictures of so-called "netiquette"
all have very good reasons behind them; they are never arbitrary
rules dreamt up by boffins, even if those reasons are not
necessarily obvious. Follow netiquette to improve your
communication via email and newsgroups; disregard netiquette, and
diminish your ability to communicate on-line.

Thanks, I didn't know why you couldn't post pics.

It is not just that the urglers don't like it. Most of the ISP's simply
snip all attachments from contributions to newsgroup mail.

No, but thankyou for having the consideration to ask first:-)
Every week (usually Saturdays) there's a post here called abc for
newcomers to urg which will explain all.

I think it's a case of most news servers. Ours certainly strips any
binaries out.

Some newsreaders download all new postings to newsgroups subscribed to.
A binary group can take hours (literally) to download, so very few (if
any) people with such readers will bother to look.

It's always better to put pics on a website.

You can't be looking properly.
