woody practicing again

[devonwoody]

placing my coffee table picture on this site as a practice run.

 

[devonwoody]

I placed img after a bit of text.
I was then never given an opportunity to place any file or folder, so I typed my url and then img again at the end.

Help

Devonwoody, to link to a picture, the file extension would normally be .jpg or .gif or similar, looking at the URL you have typeed above, it ends with john.jt - I think you must have missed a bit of the link.

I've been to your page, and if you put the cursor over the image, right click the mouse to get properties, and then highlight and copy the URL you get this url

http://homepages.tesco.net/john.jt/gardencoffeetable.gif

which if you put between image quotes like this

[img]http://homepages.tesco.net/john.jt/gardencoffeetable.gif[/img]

gives this

Dev,

see if that works

DW,

You've got the page URL instead of the piccy one. If using Windoze, right click on the piccy, then "properties" then copy the given address. It'll probably end in ".jpg"

Cheers, Alf

Wow. Four posts at once in a single thread. Must be a record! :shock:

 

[devonwoody]

thanks alf. I will try again.

Doh. (to us all posting at the same time) not to you having trouble with the links system.

Your message squeezed in before mine, and I was replying to ALF's post!

Not quite

The text within the img tags should be:
http://homepages.tesco.net/john.jt/gard ... etable.gif

Does the piccy title always come up as no gaps, I am sure when I saved the picture I would have tyuped the spaces?

Anyway, I am a verry happy bunny after all that.

Gots lots of pics !!!!!

To Noely,

Thanks again, also I have just remembered no gaps when using internet addresses.

When you upload it, many pictures are stored without any spaces etc, in teh titles, often as the server is a unix machine (not that you see any difference from a user perspective). No matter what you call it on your home PC, you should always get the URL by getting the picture on the internet, and then rightclicking to get properties. Like This...

From your website put the cursor over the image and right click brings up this menu...

This brings up a properties box like this...

highlight the URL which will have the exact name of the image, as a computer sees it

then right click whilst over the highlighted text

then click copy, and then paste between your "img" tags....
