Thanks for consulting JustAnswer.com. I can instruct you through all necessary stages of what you want to do.

First things first, please: do you have an email address for the web site? if it doesn't have an "@" sign in it, what you mean is called uploading... and tell me what the web site is, regardless.
And, are these photos on paper stock, or are they computer files? if they're on paper, you'll need a scanner... or maybe a camera would do ? ? .... if they're files, where are they located? on your laptop or on something else e.g. a CD?

I'll await your response, and then get back to you with the next stage(s) of the task.

Thank you for your reply. The web site I'm trying to "upload" to is

seniorpeoplemeet.com. The photographs are the kind you have a

one hour photo place develop. I guess you would say -paper. I do have one photo already on this site,but i had to mail it nin and did not get the original back.

Thanks for the information. All quite clear now.

In brief (so that you have an overview of the process) you will need to transform the images of your "paper" photos, into an "electronics" format.
This can be done by either a scanner (also known as a "document scanner") or, less effectively, a camera perhaps.
You say you have a Canon MX700 - good! that contains a scanning capability, advertised as photo-quality.

Please, see if the scanner part is installed/working on your Toshiba laptop:
Assuming your laptop runs Windows XP (tell me if I am wrong please), go to Start button - Control Panel - Scanners and Cameras (in Classic View).
Is there an icon there, that looks like a flatbed scanner, for your MX700?
... if so, please load a photo, any photo, for scanning in (e.g. on the top glass sheet, as if you were making a copy, of) your MX700, then double-click the scanner icon on your computer screen. This should bring up a control that allows you to Preview a scan, to just get a glimpse of what your scanner will see. Approve that Preview, and the scanner mechanism should work and produce a very small version of the photo on your laptop screen.
Have you gotten to this point OK? Then go further into the scanner utility, past the Preview, and have it do a real scan.
For a real scan, put the photo to be scanned onto the glass platen (face down of course), and on your laptop (in the Scanners And Cameras scanner utility) approve a Scan (To File - or if it allows it, and you are bold enough, Scan To Email! which will get your task done - per photo - quite nicely.)

[If Scan-To-File is all that is available, it will scan the document and then ask for you to approve a location to save it to, on your computer. It will also need a name (and be sure to specify a usefully descriptive name, I would advise). The right location would be either My Documents, or My Photos (which is within My Documents.) Click Save or OK to save the file, once you have the name and the location to save to selected.]

...And so on, for all the photos you care to send.

- If you have gotten this far, good! if you had trouble somewhere along the way, let me know, and I will continue with my instructions in my next post, according to what trouble you ran into, or I will go past the Scan To File stage if you couldn't Scan To Email.
If you got through Scan to Email A-OK, then congratulations! and please signify to me and the system that the call is completed by clicking Accept.
