Here
is
a list of instructions on how to preform
this
process. I myself am use to working on
the ANGELFIRE
homepage server so I will use them as my
example. If
your homepage is on some other server
you should read
the instructions or the FAQ's to see if
there are any
major differences( I don't think there
are). For
this quick lesson I am going to use
KYL's Medevial
Gifs as an example.
1) Find a Gif you
like
2) Click on
the
highlighted image so you see just that
graphic on
your screen(***IMPORTANT NOTE: Some of
these
Graphics are drawings in Black lines,
They will not
show up against the Black background on
screen,
however they are there, TRUST ME!)
3)
Press the GO
TO button
4) Click on "SHOW
CURRENT"
5) A Long
Address(URL) will appear in the box on
screen.
6)
Press the CMD key and hold it down while
you press
the A key. The address will become
HIGHLIGHTED.
7) Next press the CMD
button and hold
it down while you press the C key
(COPY)
8) Now go
to the Transloader site at Star
Boulevard (HINT:
Program this into one of your Shortcut
keys;f1-f7)
9) Now once at the
transloader you
will go to the box labeled "SOURCE URL"
Erase any
address in the box
10) Now Press the
CMD Button
and while holding it down press the V
key (paste)
The address of the graphic will appear
in the
box.
11) Next Rename the file-
something
short, remember to end with .gif
12)
Next box will
say FTP SERVER: In
Angelfire's case it is
"ftp.Angelfire.com". If you
se another server look up their ftp
address in the
FAQ's
13) In the box labeled TARGET
ACCOUNT NAME
type in "anonymous"
14) in the TARGET
ACCOUNT
PASSWORD BOX type in your E-mail
address.
15) In
the UPLOAD DIRECTORY box type in
/incoming
16) Now
scroll down untill you see 4 boxes: one
says
TRANSLOAD, one says RESET, one says SAVE
COOKIES, one
says ERASE COOKIES. CLICK on SAVE
COOKIES: This
will save all the information you just
typed in, so
the next graphic you transload, all you
need to
change is the SOURCE URL and the RENAME
FILE, all the
other info will stay the same.
17
Click on
TRANSLOAD
18) Wait a few seconds and
the screen
will change. Follow the
instructions.
19) Once
you can scroll down to the ZAP box on
the screen, you
have sucessfully sent the graphic to
your homepage
server.
20) Now go to your homepage
edit
page
21) Type in the FILE name you
renamed the
graphic to
22) Click on ACTIVATE
FILE:
23) YOU
ARE DONE!!!!
The Graphic is now in your
homepage
files and ready to be used where ever
you want
it!
So this may seem like a HUGE
amount of work for
1 graphic, but really in time, with some
practice you
will be able to transload a picture in
about 1-1½
minuets. Not too much time for a nice
touch to your
Creation. Why do we do this????? Well
to use a
graphic without uploading it to our
homepage Files is
called BANDWIDTH THEFT: This practice
has caused
alot of problems for people and places
unnecessary
traffic the site that you found the
graphic on.
Please learn this process if you want to
use other's
graphics. Trust me, I have just given
you the
results of about 3 weeks of frustration
in this
lesson. I had no one to help me, so in
the spirit of
Good karma I am passing it on to
you.
