Let's talk graphics
You need to include a clear, good resolution picture of your Explorer. Do do this, please use the 'more' tools on your Google image search and select either medium or large images.
You will need to have an image to upload.
Uploading images from your hard drive
You can upload an unlimited number of images to Thinglink. Images can be uploaded via the Create tab. You can also use the Facebook , Flickror the Web import.
ThingLink supports JPEG, PNG and GIF images. The maximum image size is 25MB. You can upload images without any resolution limit (there is still the 25 MB cap on image size though)!
If your image has lots of text, they recommend you use PNG instead of JPEG.
Adding images from the Web
If you can view it in your browser, you can probably tag it. All you need to do is to find a URL of an image. In most cases, you can just right-click on an image, and choose "Copy image URL" or similar, and paste the URL at Add from Web on Thinglink. Thinglink will not make a fresh copy of the image, just a URL reference to it.
From there, you can begin to add 'hot spots'. Please read all of the directions. Here is a sample of a ThingLink.
