<strong><em>JUST KIDDING. THIS IS A SAMPLE CLASSIFIED AD.</em></strong>

But, if you really have something to sell, or you are looking to buy something, or you have a service to offer, or a service you are needing, post it here.

<strong>A few suggestions when you post a classified ad:</strong>

*Delete the post when it is expired (when you sell the product or find the product you are looking for).

*You can post pictures of products you are selling. Click "Add Media" - upload the picture

*If you are posting pictures try and keep the file size as small as possible, certainly you want quality pictures of products but anything bigger than 800 or 1200 pixels wide or long is too big and if you can optimize the photo in Photoshop or Fireworks, etc. this is very helpful.

<strong>Tips on making a classified ad post:</strong>

It is best to insert the first picture at the beginning of the post, so put the cursor at the beginning of the post and click "add media".

Find the picture on your computer and upload it.

At the Insert Media page highlight the picture, it probably is already highlighted.

On the bottom right choosing alignment "right" is best for the first or only picture.

Choose link to "media" file - or URL if the picture is linked from some other web address.

Then choosing "thumbnail" is best, it will be a small picture (thumbnail) on the post and link to the full size picture. If you choose "full size" the picture will be full size on the post and if it is larger than 500 pixels wide it will get distorted, so choose thumbnail.

To add more than one picture put the cursor at the bottom of the page, click "add media" again and upload and/or highlight, choose alignment "NONE", link to "media", choose "thumbnail", then "insert to post".
