How to insert a picture into your post!

[skyblue]

Hi Cobbie,

I am not skilled in this area, so it takes me awhile to figure it all out.  I am trying to understand exactly when and where I do what you mentioned in the last section of your post.  Pidgeon tried to help me, too, but even following her instructions EXACTLY, Flickr still wouldn't work.  It did work, however, with Photo Bucket.  Go figure! It makes no sense to me!  I will have to experiment a bit.

Thanks for the words of encouragement, and letting me know I am not alone!  LOL

I'm not familiar with Flicker, only PB. I used to size in PB then preview here, then back to PB for more sizing, then here. Now I don't do any sizing in PB, just upload my photo and copy the code and do all sizing here by inserting the "width=(number)" after the first IMG within in the IMG brackets. Preview it and if it's not right change the number. It's actually kind of fun.

The other thing to remember is a space after the IMG: [img width=number]
I sometimes have to try a few different widths to get the look I am going for with various posts.

I am studying all this advice and will play with it later!  Once I "get it", there will be no stopping me!  LOL

Too, too cute!

It was his photo shoot. I have too many clothes and costumes for him, this was when the session took a turn. He's the saddest pirate I've ever seen.

LOL...  Really cute photo. I just sent it to my niece who loves to dress up her babies.

He is ADORABLE!  I bet he's just sad because he's posing for photos when he'd rather be home checking out his loot!

What other costumes does he have?

If you use Firefox or any browser that supports bookmarklets, here's a page with a bookmarklet to generate the BBCode from Flickr images to insert into posts.

Drag the bookmarklet onto your bookmark toolbar (at the bottom of the page I posted above, there's a box labeled Flickr BBCode Bookmarklet, that's what you drag to your bookmark toolbar), then all you need to do is go to Flickr, select the picture you wish to post, click the All Sizes option, select the size of the image you wish to post, then click the bookmarklet you placed on your toolbar. A popup box will appear, copy the BBCode onto your clipboard (highlight the BBCode press ctrl-c, or right click and select copy), then paste that into your message on the forum.  With this, it will also include a hotlink to the pic, so you can select Thumbnail size, and still have full size available if the reader chooses to click on it.

It's a lot easier than that last paragraph seems to read. After you do it once, you'll love how easy it is.

There are also bookmarklets for Picasa as well, however I tend to just use a website dedicated to generating BBCode by searching your Picasaweb site. http://picasa2html.com/ is a great site to use, that will generate the BBCode for you, as well you can select multiple pictures to post as a gallery. Just be sure to select BBCode instead of HTML.

My apologies if this has already been posted... I skipped over a page or two of this thread.

Testing how to resize an image for my signature. Looks like I lose a lot of image quality.

I'm new and still trying to figure this whole thing out. How do I post an image to my signature?

[Betsy the Quilter]

Akagriff, as far as I know, you cannot change the image size in the iPad Photoapp.  I use Photopad to adjust the size if I need to before using the Photobucket App.  However, you can adjust the size in your post by putting "width=200" (or whatever, without the quotes) in the first tag, like this: [ IMG width=200].

I've redone the size of your image that way.  You can quote my post to see the actual code.



Matthew/Stefanie:  To post an image in your signature, you need to take the code explained in this thread and go to Profile (top menu), Forum Profile Settings, and past the code in the Signature box.

You can only post pictures in a KindleBoards post that is already on the internet, such as in your Flickr or Photobucket photo hosting account, or posted on another website. If you don't have a Flickr or Photobucket account, they are easy and free to set up.

Once you have located on the web the picture you wish to post, how you proceed depends on your browser software.

-- If you are using Firefox, it is very easy: right-click on any picture and choose Copy Image Location.

-- If you are using Safari, it is very easy: right-click on any picture and choose Copy Image Address.

-- If you are using Internet Explorer, right-click on any picture and choose Properties, then you must choose and copy the entire Address, which may take up several lines which you cannot see. It is imperative that you choose the entire Address, or your picture will not appear.

OPTIONAL. You can verify that you have chosen the correct image address by pasting it into your browser's URL box, as you would with any URL. Your picture should be the only thing you see on the resulting web page.

Once you have copied the entire image location/address, create your post and click the little picture button (third from the left, below the Underline button). Then paste the image location/address.

Before posting, click the Preview button and you can see the result prior to posting. Then it's easy to correct any errors prior to posting.
