How do I post pictures on FR????

To: HarleyLady27

I use Flickr, seems I might have a imgur account too but don't remember. Flickr has option to copy HTML, [img ] method use din many forums, and others. Plus you can select what size to use. I upload most of my sh9ts at 1024x768, I'[ll try one at 800x600 so it won't stretch the screen. IMGP71399

What I did there, if it works, was remove all but the

facebook works for picture hosting and is very easy to do.

OK that sorta worked, not sure why it landed in the middle of the text though...and part of the text got bleeped too. Probably my mistake. I removed all but the img src part of the HTML copied from Flickr, pasted it into the thread. Now I Have to figure out how to place it where I want it... MIght have to go check out the HTML sand box for that...I Can't remember any HTML at all it seems...I think the tag has something to do with creating a line break, kind of like hitting [Enter] to go to another line on a keyboard. I Haven't used it in 15 years or more so I don't remember much at all...never did know much HTML anyway...

I didn’t know that. I was going off instructions from somewhere.

Other environments may be different, but on FR there's no need to close an image tag. Try it and see.

Thanks, W.

FreeImageHosting.net is even easier than photobucket or tinypic.

Here's a test photo:

Copy and paste this and replace the stuff it says to replace ... hit preview to check that it comes up right.

Yay, you got it! 3 points!

I’ve learned HTML on FreeRepublic.

Still have a lot to learn, though.

Hmmm. This looks like an occasion...

 underline

Posting an image:

General:
<img src="[web server location]">

You can't just snag a favorite picture from a desktop folder...it has to be hosted someplace on line to be posted here.

Best bet is to save the image to an image hosting service, I use Photobucket. In Firefox right click and select "Copy image location", in Safari right click and select "Open image in new tab" and copy the address in the address bar. Other browsers have similar tricks.

Example:
This: <img src="http://www.notablebiographies.com/images/uewb_09_img0611.jpg">

Tip: control the size with "height=nnn" like so:

Thanks, Nully.

From freeper W. at # 22, here is a link for downloading photos onto FR, and it's easier than using tinypic or photobucket:

I think the blink annoyed The Powers That Be, they broke the blink...
