Subject: Photo's in blog?

I'm sure I'm missing something simple.  I loaded new pictures in my albums today.  I want to post them in my blog.  When I go to insert the picture, it asks for a URL, I copy the album picture URL, but all that shows up is an "x"

Any help?

Thanks

In the albums, the URL that shows in the address bar is actually to a web page that displays the picture, not the picture itself.

To get the image to display in your blog, view it in the album, right click on it, select properties and copy the url that's displayed. If you paste that into the "insert image" box, it should display.

Sweet!  Thanks!  This posting stuff is tougher than training.

So thats how its done?!? I've been copying the string in my adress line at the top of my window. Now I notice the last part of that address has some repetitive information. Now it works great! I just thought I was incompetent, ok so maybe I am.

Wow, I went from not knowing how to add a picture to my blog to now having it change when you scroll your mouse over it. Something new everyday!!

Hi hannah,

I like http://www.resize2mail.com/ . It's free, super easy, and it's online so you don't have to download or install anything.

thanks Marmadaddy - I'll try that as well - tried something someone else suggested on another site this morning that seemed to work well - http://www.imageshack.us/

Also on that thread you (I think it was you) put a link to the search facility for all previous threads - can you please remind me what that is as it was a really useful tool but I can't work out how to find it.

hey... folks.. I've been trying this myself and can't get it to work. I get a little thing inserts that looks like some sort of kid drawing (not an X) but it's not the photo. What am I doing wrong?

Can you try again and leave the example in your blog so we can see what is happening?

I see the problem...you linked the image directly to your computers c drive files.  (file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Sarah%20Paterson/My%20Documents)

What you ideally need to do is upload the link into your albums here, then use THAT link in your log.

So here's the next problem... images show great in my blog as long as you are a registered BT user. If I send some non-user computer the url to my log with a photo the photo does not display to this foreigner.  Do you know a way around this?

It works now... you are the guru hidden in the back room I have been looking for.  So was it a directory permissions issue as I suspected or something I, normal BT user, could have corrected??

 BTW... if you are part of the development team for this site... I really would like to meet you some day. You guys have done an incredible job with this site.  You are to be given the loudest applause for your efforts.

 

Much appreciate...
