How to post a picture in your actual post??

I have read the directions on how to provide a link to pics in photobucket or similar, but how do you post the pics in your actual post so they are visiable when someone reads the thread?

Thanks!

    All those lovely summertime shots make me want to get out seed packets and shuffle them, making plans. We don't get snow -- unless you count the dab of sleet we had last week. It helps to pot up bulbs to bloom inside like hyacinths and amaryllis. A freeze took out open Camellia blooms last week but tight buds opened quickly as it warmed. This this pic is from yesterday; today we have rain and the amaryllis and I are bundled up inside again.

    I can't figure out what you did wrong! I looked at the source code and it looks right, unless you just pasted the URL for the picture wrong? Yep, looks like that's the problem. This is the URL you used: photos.gardenweb.com/garden/galleries/2007/08/clematis_ruutel.jpeg This is the URL cnetter used: http://photos.ivillage.com/images/photos/resize/gardenweb_Garden%20Galleries_1186006541455_225223D.jpg I don't think you did anything wrong; there's just something wacky about the gardenweb upload feature. I use imageshack for all my uploads. It's free and you don't have to register if you don't want to, and I've never had any problems with it.

    You just forgot to surround your http command with the image source code.

    yes - it is a photo from photobucket. I just opened the photobucket account - is there something else I need to do there? I swear I am following the instructions, but all that shows up is that little red box. Thoughts anyone??

  • mclarke

    Teacats, is this the photo you are trying to post?

    See below photo for the command I used to get it into the post....

    This is the command I used...

    EXCEPT that in THIS command in the line directly above, I have inserted a space between the "If I were to take out this space, the system would read this as an image command and would produce the actual photo in my post.

    Try copying and pasting the command I typed... put it in a post of your own... TAKE OUT THE EXTRA SPACE... and your photo will appear.

    Trying again!!! and I now have a single photo in tinypic and photobucket -- LOL! Can you tell that I'm desperate!

    Bless you mclarke -- and I'll keep trying!

    GOT IT!!!!! I kept forgetting to take OUT the IMG (and those funny brackets) on both ends of the command line -- not sure how to re-size ..... on tinypics but still trying on photobucket too

    Can anyone see this?
    I posted some pictures on a different thread; I could see them but no one else could. Some miracle person "fixed" something, and then they showed up. My pictures are in the Kodak gallery and there doesn't seem to be any place to click a single picture to be public.

    Thanks so much

    I DID IT -- on photobucket!!!!

    I think I clicked on the One-Click address to be able to switch it over and THEN clicked on Select All (its a box under the addresses .......)

    Go to tinypic.com Upload your pic, it converts it to html. Click on "Copy" beside "HTML for Websites" rather than "IMG Code for Forums & Message Boards". Then simply paste it into the body of your message.

    YAAAAY, teacats!!!!!

    And now we can all see your adorable Rosemary Cottage!!! Stunning bench!

    Happygram, it looks like your photo is in kodakgallery. Can you transfer it to photobucket?

    MClarke:

    How do I transfer something to Photobucket?

    The reason I went to Kodak is because Yahoo no longer will be hosting pictures and my albums needed to be transferred.

    I don't know how to make the pictures in Kodak "public".

    Thanks so much.

    Hey Jen9 --

    Go to the photobucket and sign up --

    Then click on the link for "Uploading" --

    And follow the directions from there.

    Here's photobucket:

    happygram,
    There may be an easier way, but when I need to copy pics from one site to another I open the image, right click on it, select 'Save Image As', and then save it to my Desktop. You can relocate anywhere on your computer but I find it easy to keep a folder on my desktop just for pics.

    Then upload to photobucket, or wherever.

  • annzgw
    16 years ago

    I forgot to mention........if you're using photobucket you don't have to use, or remember, any codes. Just copy the 'HTML Tag' under each photo and paste it within your text.

  • susanlynn2012

    annz, then maybe that is a reason for me to start to use photobucket for this site. Thanks!

  • mclarke
    16 years ago

    YAAAAAAY Jen! We can see your photo!!!!!

    Yep, copying the HTML tag from photobucket will work also.

    When you do this, you will be copying in the --

    -- command, and you don't have to add anything or type anything, or remember the --

    -- command.

    I went to Tinypic and uploaded pics of my comp room .
    I even managed to figure out how to save them in favorites.
    It didn't take me but 2hrs and 15 min to do 4 pics.
    Now I couldn't figure how to paste because :
    #1 When I have the GW up and try to bring up the Tinypic site....GW is gone.
    I have never copyed or pasted soooooo I guess I will just never do it. I'm crying uncle.
    My pics are there but I'm here.

    I have never felt so computer dumb.

    I'm so thrilled you all are learning to post pics. My thought about pics is "more, more, more!"

    Good job all of you. It is really cool to be able to do this for the first time. My son wrote out the line of code and taped it to my computer monitor. That's how I finally got it, by being able to read it right in front of me everytime I wanted to insert a photo.

    Note for any who are testing their skills.......when you type out your message and insert your photo, the photo WILL show up when you hit "preview message" before submitting. So, if there is no photo on the preview page, there won't be one on the real deal.

    And thanks to Red for your comment about seeing it in the preview window. I wondered about that since I was seeing
    nothing there, but seeing something in my message window. I think I had to adjust my account options about sharing to get mine to work.

    Thanks to all of you for the great instructions! I had no
    idea I was so computer challenged until this. (Hanging head in shame, but gloating over new accomplishment...)
