How to Add Large Photos to your Craigslist Posting



To begin, navigate to www.Claspics.com:



-If you don't already have an account, create one!

-Once Logged in click on the 'Upload a New Album' button:




 
-Click the 'Select Images' button and navigate to the location of the images on your computer. 




***Time saving Hint- To select all images in a single folder, hold down Ctrl+A!***


-After you have all of the images you want to post selected click 'OK'. You should now see your images in thumbnail format. Here is an example of a kayak i'm listing:




-Click the 'Upload' button to upload your gallery!

-After your images have finished uploading, you'll be taken to a page that has the HTML code that you need to copy to your Craigslist ad:





Before you copy the code, make sure you sort the images in your gallery by clicking the 'Sort Images' link:




-Simply drag and drop the images.  
 
***It's a good practice to put the best image first as this will be the first image that buyers see in your ad!***




 
-Click 'Done' on the Sort Images page when you're finished. This will bring you back to the Ad code page.

-Select your HTML code, right click it, and select 'Copy'




-Now, navigate to your Craigslist posting, and Paste the selected code into your ad. It should resemble this:



-Before clicking 'Continue', lets add a large font title as well as center the allignment of our ad. 
 
-Right now, our add looks like this. Still pretty boring...



 - In the next step, type this bit of code underlined in yellow BEFORE the large block of HTML that you copied a minute ago from ClassPics.com.
 
-Be sure to add the title of YOUR ITEM where it says 'enter your title here'



-Once you've done this, we have one more tiny bit of code to add AFTER the HTML text you copied from ClasPics.com.Type the line of code that's underlined in yellow:



The home stretch: Click 'Continue' at the bottom of the ad to preview your post. Here is what your new and improved post with image gallery should look like:



-With ClasPics.com, addling large photos to your Craislist postings is fairly easy. It may take a few minutes the first few times you post this way, but the a good Craigslist ad can mean all the difference when it comes to the sale.
