When I lived in ND there was no stamp shows any where near me. Now that I have moved I have been able to attend my first stamp show. It was pretty exciting. I am at the place in my collection where the stamps are getting a bit pricey but I was able to acquired 2 new stamps. I don't know how to add an image but they are Columbian 234 and Zeppelin C13.

Good to hear you get to go to shows. I am going to one tomorrow also!
The best way to add images is to scan your stamps. Scanners are pretty inexpensive -- you can get a good one for under $100. Cell phone images can work but it is hard to get infocus images unless you have one of the latest models that has image stabilization. Once you have an image (either scanned or photoed) just poke the Upload Images button and navigate to your image.
It is fairly easy to do. If you want more detailed instructions, just ask.
I don't have a C13 Zepplin but I do have some Columbians. So, I scanned my 234 and the image is below. Nice stamp (M-OG, LH) but nothing too special.

Very nice stamp. Going to a coin show tomorrow for hubby's collection. I have 231,232, 234 and 235 MNH and 242 used. I have a scanner and the pictures on my computer just couldn't figure how to get them on here. I clicked the add image button and an http thing came up.

You should request an account on the TSF image host:
Introducing the TSF Image Host
The TSF Image Host is intended to be a secure, dependable repository for images posted on the forum and it is being provided as a free service.
The TSF Image Host is not intended for personal use. All images uploaded to the host site must be ones that are included in posts on this forum. Hosted images may be linked to other forums, provided that they also appear on TSF.
To be eligible for an account, you must have made your introductory post on the New Member Introductions board and be a member in good standing.
To request an account, send a forum message to tomiseksj that includes your full legal name and a valid email address. Once your account has been created, a link to the site and your account password will be sent to the email address that you provided.
The process of uploading images to the host is similar to that used on other image hosts such as Imgur or PostImage.
Images uploaded to the forum’s host are limited to a maximum width of 1024, maximum height of 1400, and a maximum file size of 2MB. Images greater than the image width and height parameters will be automatically get downsized; however, if the file size is greater than 2MB the upload will not be allowed. You may create albums and can upload by drag-and-drop, browsing from your computer, or adding URLs (the latter function may be blocked by Photobucket but there is a workaround).
Because of its simplicity, the Simple Image Upload plugin will remain available for use on the forum until such time as a plugin for our image host becomes available.
Members are advised that TSF has no control over images hosted on other sites -- image hosts such as imgBB (Simple Image Upload), Imgur and PostImage could begin charging for their service and block images with little or no notice, similar to what Photobucket has recently done. As such, use of the TSF Image Host is strongly recommended.
Instructions on using the TSF Image Host have now been posted - click on this link.

... I have a scanner and the pictures on my computer just couldn't figure how to get them on here. I clicked the add image button and an http thing came up. The 3 methods of adding images to posts are addressed in this thread from the Frequently Asked Questions category. |

Here are the scans of the stamps. The Columbians are all of them that I have. Sorry the pages are backwards but that is how I seem to end up doing things lately. LOL
