Easy picture posting
Once in a while someone will say that they don't know how to post pictures in their blog posts, and I've just noticed that Imageshack, the site I use for my pics here, has an exceptionally easy way of doing it. So,
• Find your picture and save it to your computer (the desktop will do fine)
• Go to http://imageshack.us/
• No need to register, just use the browse button to find your picture and hit the ‘Upload Now’ button
• When it has uploaded copy contents of the HTML Code box into your post
• Preview your post. If the image is too big you may need to use Paint or something similar to alter the size. If you do resize it return to step 3 and repeat
And that’s it. Hope this helps some frustrated would-be picture-posters

Thanks, Gatz.
Proper useful. Multiple ups for you.
Yep top stuff have an up arrow
Re resizing alternatively :As the springsteen post above shows if bruce has put on a few pounds and is splurging across the page you can type " width= 300 " after the url but before the ">" and the picture should fit the space. Play around with this number to get it to fit.
You also use flickr which gives the code for your pics.
Flickr
also give you a choice of sizes to download after you've posted it - easier and better than resizing a much larger image.
Always wondered
never dared ask. Story of my life. Thanks!
Also might want to try Tiny

They seem to allow more bandwidth before pulling the picture like Imageshack
I use www.divshare.com
who seem to have a huge allowance. My 'bucket' still seems to contain every picture I've ever uploaded here.

Thanks!
This is really helpful.
Right. For the millionth time...
... here we fuckin' go...
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
HOLY CRAP!
LOOK ON MY WORKS YE MIGHTY AND DESPAIR!!!!!!!
*does a little jig*
Thanks Gatz! I have never managed to post a pic ever...
Now for the next bit..
From the stream of HTML, delete the last bit about imageshack and you just get the pic without the stuff underneath.
Er...
I did refer you to this selfsame post by Gatz about two months back. It's how I learned.
But have an arrow - there'll be no stopping you now...
I didn't know the difference...
... between an html link and a normal link.
But now I do. So yah boo!
Y'see Gatz
You've created a monster! :)
I live to serve
I can't be held responsible if the technology falls into the wrong hands.
Ye Gods!
What
is this?
So I've done all this
but what do you put before and after the URL? Is it [img} or something?
It's in the FAQ
http://www.wordmagazine.co.uk/faq/#images
How to post a picture
will still remain the mythical holy grail among Word posters. Like the quest for the perfect version of Smile, or the definitive track listing of The Beatles LP (some say The White Album).
Test
Nope.
FFS This is getting annoying now.
The URL is wrong
Imageshack direct link URLs start "img" not "ing".
Test 2
[img]http://img607.imageshack.us/img607/8426/stanlaurelxt7.jpg[img]
Nearly
Nope
We don't use [img] tags.
This is what you need to insert:
<img src="http://img607.imageshack.us/img607/8426/stanlaurelxt7.jpg">
Go on, try it.
Sorry Fraser
You must think I'm an utter moron but I did that and it's still not happening. Do I literally type out what you put? I've tried variations (leaving out the inverted commas) Is there a space between the 7 and the forward slash?
Spaces
There are no spaces in URLs.
^ This is the result of simply copying and pasting the HTML text in my earlier comment into this particular comment. Precisely.
Imageshack...
If you've used the 'forum' code and it's not worked, try copying and pasting the 'alt forum' code. It worked for me.
Tadah!
Test 3
I did it, Ollie!
*ruffles hair and does Stan hands*
Now, to try another one.
You certainly did, Stanley!
Thanks to all and for Mr Lewry's patience.
I need to go on a course, don't I?
