Just a little head’s up to my fellow ePortfolio bloggers… I just discovered that MT4 prefers JPG images over PNG’s. If you try to add a PNG and want to have MT4 create a thumbnail, you’ll get an error. Just convert your PNG’s into JPG’s and you’re golden!

When uploading your images, I highly recommend saving the images into a folder called “images” so that your root directory doesn’t get mobbed with random images. You’ll have to type in the name of your folder every time however and the folder doesn’t show up when you click on the “Choose Folder” list in MT4, but rest assured, it is there.
