    How did you get pictures to show when you post?

    I notice Aristotle and David Deavy have this.

    Jeff,

    With all the work you do for this site and cause, It is my pleasure to help out in this small way.

    Go to the Account Tab
    In the left side column you will see a heading 'Account Options"
    Under Account Options click on "Personal Information"
    Under the Personal Information there is an "Icon Option" section which will allow you to upload a small picture to be used as an icon.

    Hope this helps.

    Cordially,
    David Deavy

    you mean like my strawberry, or more like posting pictures in a single post?

    If it's the former, Mr. Deavy got it. If it's the latter, you have to use html.

    Once you set it up like David says, it posts in every single post automatically Marajoy

    no, like an actual picture. that you just want to use once. having nothing to do with your name. with html like Jam said! since this thread is called "pictures when posting," it might be nice for someone to post what you have to type in html to post a single picture just in case anyone who doesn't know how (like me) ever wants to do so!

    You have to use the "img" tag, and you'll have to have whatever photo or image you want to post stored on another site. See my next post…

    Be sure to have the radio button under the comment box set to "Format comments as Html," and then post your image by typing like the following example…



    …where the URL points to whatever image you want to display. Note the use of quotation marks around the URL, and note the slash character at the end as well.

    (It's amazing what you can learn when you view the source code! In the Safari browser, it's Cmd-Opt-U.)

    <img src="http://www.yourimagehere.jpg">

    But remember, if you remote link to an image you do not own (i.e. what you are not hosting on your own website), you are stealing bandwidth from that website and will make its traffic slower.

    Hm… not sure, then, what the use of that final slash is that I suggested.

    usually you want to close an html tag whenever you use it... example, italic text -- if you don't put the slash, the rest of your text will end up being italic, too. Pictures are different, I think, though, because they have a built-in end to them.
