Here's an easy way to post pictures either from the internet or net based albums..


Using a little html.. find the picture's location in your browser title line and copy it.


..create the html string as follows and paste in the picture location between the ""s: < img src="paste your picture's browser location here" >


(I had to put a few spaces in there to make it appear like text. There should be NO SPACES in the string.)


So, if you want to post a picture with the location http://malaysianriders.files.wordpress. ... bullet.jpg

you copy that and paste it in between the ""s.. < img src="http://malaysianriders.files.wordpress. ... bullet.jpg" >


and here it is.. Easy peasy..

If you also add the following text into the above HTML code, you can dictate what size the photo will be, i.e.:
height="476" width="700".
The final code should look like this:&nbsp;

If the width is set at more than 700, the web page is pushed across to the right, making some body text hard to see.

Actually, one only needs to set the width. The height will automatically adjust. I didn't want it to get too complicated for the ones that need help..

why don't "sincordia" the web hosting company simply add a "add photo" option that automatically adds the prefix?

I always have an advertisement about 50 X 120mm blocking the text, how the #@%**^% can I remove it?

Hi Leon. As mentioned in an earlier post, if the photo is wider than 700 pixels, it will push the web page across to the right. The photo (and any text above it) will then be partially obscured by the advert column. Exile - who started this thread - was good enough to offer a helpful workaround and you are right about an 'Add Photo' button or similar. We're looking into an easy solution. Meanwhile, if we can find your earlier post (and photo), we'll amend the HTML code as Exile suggested.


P.S. The following post refers to screen display issues:

Hi guys---------- just a quick bit of "trumpet-blowing" here-----I've been posting photos on here for quite some time now using TINYPICS, mainly because others can't access any other photos of mine..unlike PHOTOBUCKET, etc....... I've not had any problems at all at any time..You just have to follow the instructions as shown on the screen, especially with regards to "NOTICE BOARD"...This will give the correct size for posting on here.................

Hello Alan R,

Is there a limit to the size of your pictures (MB) when you are using tinypic, I can upload my picture but come to a full stop! can not go any further.

Cheers,
Howzie.

------- sorry HOWZIE, I have to plead computer ignorance at this stage as I don't really understand this terminology..... BUT, I will have a closer look at what I'm actually doing and come back at a later stage...........meanwhile---HELP !!! anybody ???

Alan R's train picture measures 613 x 550 and is 988.3 kb in size, which is just under 1 Mb (1000Kb = 1Mb). &nbsp;


Images should be a similar dimension to Alan R's and ideally the same size in kb (or less kb if possible). That way they won't distort the web page and will load faster.


On the FAQ page on Tinypics, they give the following advice: "The image size limit is 1600 pixels (either width or height). Images that are too large are resized to the largest acceptable size. Use the Resize drop-down list on the Upload page to resize your own images when you upload them."


Does this help?
