Discussion: photos

How do I post pictures here?

First you have to have your pictures posted in some publicly-accessible spot, like Picasa or Flickr. Then you get the URL (location) of the photo and use HTML like this:

<img src="http://www.rmoc.org/images/zoom/CMQCBV/viewsize/IMG_3524_%28Large%29.JPG" alt="Photo." height="60%" width="60%" />



Picasa has a feature that creates the HTML code for you.

You can also post graphics and movies you see on other websites by selecting "Page Source" from the "View" menu on your browser, and scrolling down, looking for a likely bit of html. Here's one I lifted from an instructional SportIdent website, showing the approved punching procedure:

Unless you're copying code right from someplace else, I'd suggest omitting height and width attributes, or using only width. And don't use a percent value for height, it doesn't mean what you might think. (bbrooke's example looks distorted outside of firefox)

<img src="_your_image_url_here_">

I don't understand the HTML hint below...how do I do that?

So you'd need to post each picture individually, using the brackets and code showed above. Between the quote marks, paste the image location (which can be directly copied by right clicking the image you want and selecting 'copy image location'). In this case the first image's location code is https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/_FMwyWWhfzwA/TVW...

So type exactly what ken says, replacing _your_image_here_ with the copied image location. Then you'd have:

Um, Clark? I'm not exactly the most PC person on this site, but your animated GIF seems just *a bit* out of place in this thread. Just saying.

What Taco-C said.

Thanks, I think I'm getting it...will keep playing.

You're using the HTML "a" tag for a hyperlink:

<a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/">Photo-O 2</a>

If you want to actually display the image rather than just linking to it, use the "img" tag instead:

<img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/rootstock.JPG">

Advanced Topic: you can combine the two tags ("a" and "img") to display a hyperlinked / clickable photo:

<a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/"><img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/rootstock.JPG"></a>

(I made up those URLs.)
