Here's how I post them... I opened a imgur account (totally free, no limits) [optional: I set my photos to "Private" Cheesy ].

At Graphic Audio Site, Right-click image, "Save Image As", save to computer.

At imgur, click "Upload Images" (I use Browse Option) select cover picture, click "Upload". On the right side is a list of sharing options, Click on "Direct Link" (copies Image Location to your clipboard).

At the Audiobookbay, paste link in "Cover URL" portion of the upload form.

For all actions above I opened new browser tabs so all sites are accessible at once.

The reason this is necessary is that if you hotlink an image from Graphic Audio --
like e.g from this page: http://www.graphicaudiointernational.net/widdershins-adventures-1-thief-s-covenant.html


The image you want is this:



What we see if you hot link the image (copying the URL) is:



Graphic Audio's webserver will serve the "Please visit Graphic Audio" image instead of the cover if it's called by another site.

One problem is that initially the uploader sees the original image, because your browser has it in its cache from when you visited the site. But everyone else will see the text. If you refresh the page (F5) that will re-fetch the image; you will now see the text instead of the cover.

Alternative image hosts

http://lookpic.com
http://imgur.com
-- and many others


Some will allow you to just paste in the URL of a Graphic Audio image and it will get it and give you a new image link that will work on any site. Saves downloading and uploading the image.  Just check you aren't getting the notice instead of the cover.

Not a new site, but I just came across it:

https://bendodson.com/projects/itunes-artwork-finder/

Finds cover art for any media on iTunes.
See notes below the search  boxes for info and hints on how to use.

Don't hotlink the images, save and reup to an image host as above.
