Hi Terri

You linked to the whole website instead of the actual photograph. To get the photo addy, just right click the picture you want and select properties. Then copy that address and paste it here.

You put this address: http://swt.edu/~aw1024/banners.html
Try using this one: http://swt.edu/~aw1024/terri-31.jpg

Terri ~ Here's the code you entered:

[IMG]http://swt.edu/~aw1024/banners.html[/IM G]
THAT code resulted in this Broken Picture icon:


BECAUSE that address is for the Web Page that contains 3 different sized banners. That address is NOT a "picture location" - it's a web page.

What you need to do is pick ONE of the banner images (or photos) on that web page;
* Right-click ON the desired banner or photo
* then click on "Copy Image Location"
* come back to the Pet Talk post message box
* select the "IMG" click button
* Right-click again
* Click on "Paste"; then on "OK"

Now step by step:
Go to: http://swt.edu/~aw1024/banners.html
* Pick ONE banner or photo (I'll do the big one)
* It's "Location" is:
"ht tp://swt.edu/~aw1024/terri-3.gif" (notice it ends in ".gif"
* Right-click ON the banner / photo; Then "copy image location"
* Come back to PT and push "IMG" button
* "Paste" the ...gif address into the image box
* and you should see:
[IMG]http://swt.edu/~aw1024/terri-3.gif[/IM G]

Which should give us the largest banner of the three on the "...html" web page.



Now we'll see if I showed all the codes correctly... I might have to come back and re-edit if I goofed something up.

wow! Only made one little boo-boo .

Take a look and see if this make sense to you. E-mail me if you any problems. [email protected] /s/ Phred

Terri, have you seen Phred's tutorial? It's the third one down in the topic.Phred's tutorial

Terri ~ Come-on back and re-read your post two windows above this one. I edited in some "pointers" for you.

[ramanth]

Lets try again....


Kim ~ Phred here...

The photo you entered above, with this code:
[IMG]http://ramanth.tripod.com/images/pictures/kiahappy.jpg[/IM G]
displays the broken picture icon.
The "kiahappy" photo does not exist or display on your Tripod web site . Therefore it won't display here on Pet Talk, either.

I'm going to try a picture of Kia that DOES display on you site. The code will be:
[IMG]http://ramanth.tripod.com/images/pictures/Kia1.jpg[/IM G]
Now let's try to post your Kia1 photo...
Here's Kim's Kia... Not!


As long as Tripod permits you to post your pictures, stored on "their" site, on a BBS like Pet Talk, we should all be looking at your beautiful Kia. But we're not

I suspect that Tripod does not permit you to post pictures from "their" site onto other sites. Sooo, I've "stolen" your Kia#1 photo and loaded it onto one of my WebShots pages.
It *may* display here for a while... But if Tripod discovers that it is on my WebShots album, they (Tripod) may do something to interrupt the display. Here goes:

Kim's photo of Kia... (maybe )



>> This is what's called 'trial & error' .

OK; that worked . See my follow-up post a couple of windows below... /s/ Phred

Attn: Kim and others...

You had two problems with your picture posts:

1) The "KiaHappy" picture is not properly loaded onto your web site at Tripod. Something is wrong on the Tripod site because that picture won't display if I'm on your site and try to view the "KiaHappy" picture there. All your other photos ARE viewable when I'm on the Tripod site.

2) I suspect that Tripod will not allow photos stored on "their" Tripod site to be viewed and displayed on BBS sites such as Pet Talk. It's probably covered somewhere in their "Terms & Conditions".

Since you have a very large and beautiful Homepage & Web Site created on Tripod - you DO NOT want to upset them by violating their Terms & Conditions - they could legally turn off your whole site for a violation!

There's an easy fix - Join up and establish an account at WebShots! You get started at:
http://www.webshots.com/homepage.html

Once you open an account; open an album and upload any photos you want to share via e-mails or by posting on Pet Talk.
THEN you use your WebShots album to store the pictures you want to post.

As we speak, WebShots does not openly object to folks posting photos stored on WebShots. But everyone should understand that WebShots *might* change this policy in the future.

Hope this helps you, Kim; and anyone else who is having picture posting problems.

<< That's me, Phred

Phred,
With all this great advice that you give out on "how to post pictures", it sure seems like you would test your knowledge a little, every now and then, and give us some new pictures of Cinder and Smokey, and Boots too, of course. That was a BIG hint, in case you didn't get it.

Yep; got the *hint* .

But I'm *toy challenged* ~ no DigiKam and no Scanner . Hope Sandy Klawz will fix that

But then I'll have to drag out the Dreaded Vacuum Sukker and clean up all the clumps of *fur bunnies* piled up all over the Ranch before I'd dare to take any pix!

[Logan]

I don't have a digital or a scanner either, and I definitely don't have a clean floor! LOL! That was supposed to be my excuse for not posting more pictures!!!! But you know, Phred, there are ways around it.......get your film developed online or on a Picture CD!!!! I'm refusing to give up on you!!!!

[ramanth]

Thanks Phred!

I highly agree that both Tripod and Geocities must of done something to keep from posting pics. You used to be able too. I thought it was just me.

I'm starting up an account at Webshots. Thanks for the link!

[ramanth]

Lets she if THIS works...

[RachelJ]

Alright Kim, you DID IT! And this beautiful picture is well worth the effort. Wow! I've said it before, but it needs to be said again, Kia is gorgeous!
