I want to post a pic from my own digital but the properties line has no .com address. How do I post the pic then? Thanks.

Hopefully someone more knowledgeable will see this and suggest an improvement on the multi-step process I use when a poicture does not have simple properties... I also use it when the picture might disappear from online - this creates another permanant copy.

1. In my browser (I use Firefox ) I right click on the picture and choose "copy image"

2. Then I use my free photo program Irfanview. I paste the picture and save it to my hard drive. Pretty much any photo program should work.

3. Then I upload the picture and re-host it a free picture hosting site. I use http://photobucket.com/ This gives you a nice clean address for the picture. I use photobuck because its large and free and doesn't accept porn so its less likely to be blocked.

Hopefully somebody else has a more elegant solution but in the mean time this will work. Good luck.

Ok thanks!

To force the images to lay side-by-side instead of letting the browser push the next image down to the next line you put the images in a table.

Westminster MD Freepers

Here's the code I used to display the two images above with a heading:

<table>

<tr>

<th colpan=2>Westminster MD Freepers</th>

</tr>

<tr>

<td><img src="http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj252/RockerMom2MyHero/20080216_35.jpg" width=256 height=192></td>

<td><img src="http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj252/RockerMom2MyHero/08-03-14WalterReed02.jpg" width=256 height=192></td>

</tr>

</table>

Your sense of humor is 13 years out of date. You need an upgrade!

I think from PMM's freemail, she wants something like this:

text -- text
pic on left margin .................................................... space between pic ......................................... Pic on right margin

Yep... Troop was right. I can get them side by side... But is there anyway for space between pics?
TITLE/HEADING

You need an upgrade!

Haven't found one for XP and I will NOT have anything to do with Vista. Blech.
But I'll keep a-lookin'.

Westminster MD Freepers

Here's the same code from my previous post with minor changes in red

<table width="100%">

<tr>

<th colspan=3>Westminster MD Freepers</th>

</tr>

<tr>

<td align=left><img src="http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj252/RockerMom2MyHero/20080216_35.jpg" width=256 height=192></td>

<td></td>

<td align=right><img src="http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj252/RockerMom2MyHero/08-03-14WalterReed02.jpg" width=256 height=192></td>

</tr>

</table>

Yep, I believe that is what PMM is looking for. Thanks.

I’d like it if FR supported markdown. Writing raw html in forms is a pain in the rear.

Show off.
