I need picture help!
« on: July 05, 2004, 04:24:17 am »
Okay there's this pic that I wanna put in my blog cuz there's stuff I wanna say and it just sums it up. Unfortunately when I tried to put it up there it just turned up as a red box. Here's the link where I found the pic at
http://www.dance.net/read.html?postid=2032968&replies=21&page=1
I copied the 'properties' and all that and followed the picture directions....but still nothing. Can anyone take that pic and do something with it so that it shows up? Or is in some format that I can use?
Thank you!!
Why am I up this early, you ask?
GOOD QUESTION!

Edit: Okay I saved it in my computer.But I guess I need to have someone host it? Crap. Computers suck!

Uh huh.

I'll host it for you. Just copy and paste the following line into your LJ where you want the image to appear.

<img src="http://www.cse.dmu.ac.uk/~c99ke/ts002114.jpg">

Usually you don't have to get somebody to host it you can just add a link straight to where it came from. In future if you need an image that is already online somewhere then do this. (assuming you are using Windows and Internet Explorer)


1. Right click on the image you want
2. Select "properties"
3. Hightlight  everything in the Address (URL) field.
4. Right click on the highlighted and select "copy"
5. paste the stuff you just copied in between the quotes of the folliwng line in your JL

That's it :) Hope it helps

-Kev

Well, I did all that stuff the first time, and it didn't work for nada! Pissed me off, cuz I messed with it for a half hour.



If that doesn't do crap, just click on the link, the pic's there, and your computer can probably do something with it. Cuz, my computer hates me right now. ANd I'm not feelin' too kindly towards it, either.

DId you see that Kev? Ooh, sweet!
ANd thanks for being so sweet and offering to help a total un-tech. But it's not me really, it's the computer! If it's still giving me crap though, and it might when I try to post it on the blog, I'll give you a call! :D
