Posting my picture

[sweet maxine]

I'm trying to post my azalea pix from yesterday, and I still don't understand the directions on the techie board. Am I just too dumb?

[wtpclc]

I don't think so!

The hardest part is uploading your picture to a website. If you can do that, the rest is easy and I could walk you through. If oyu don't know how to do that, it's beyond my realm, though. I think you can upload your pics to the DIS site, but I don't know how.

[sweet maxine]

Okay, if it's uploaded, how do I know what the URL or img is for it?

[wtpclc]

If you right click on the pictures, you chould be able to pick properties and that will give you the url. (http://......)

copy that.

(where I have { or } below, insert the corresponding regular square bracket instead. If I type it in my directions, I'll confuse the computer.)

type {img}paste copied link here{/img}

That should do it. Let em know how it goes!

[sweet maxine]

I'm still trying, but I can't get it to work.

I think I really am a dummie. :sad2:

[wtpclc]

You are NOT a dummie!!!!!

You're very close. There should be an http://.... before the name of the pictures. Basically, the link to the website page its on. After that, you just need to put a / before the last img.

I did it! I did it!

Thanks so much, Carrie. I appreciate all your patience with me. :wave2:

[wtpclc]

No problem. I hate to say it, but I can't see it. :(

[sweet maxine]

It's very small. I was worried about the size of the image after reading on the tech boards, so I'm not sure how to make the picture larger now.

I can see it---am I the only one?

[Disneyland_emily]

I also cant see it-

On the tech board they have a size guide thats pretty easy to figure out

-em

Maybe it's just me. I just see the red x like a broken link. However, if I right click on that box and past the link in my browser, I see your picture. Looks like you did the right thing.

Can anyone else see it?

[wtpclc]

Wait! Now I see it! Am I losing my mind?

[sweet maxine]

No, but I'm losing mine! LOL!!!

I still can't get the picture to show like I want it to. Anyway, it was a really nice picture of the azaleas. They're so pretty, and I wanted to share. I'll keep working at it.

[wtpclc]

I'll back you up.

If someone wants to see it, it's here:

http://images.kodakgallery.com/photos1155/4/82/43/49/50/0/50494382407_0_SM.jpg

Don't know why the image thing is being weird.

[ksjayhawks]

I can't see the pic on the link--get a forbidden message.

I have trouble uploading pics as well, so don't feel bad.

[wtpclc]

I think it only works when you cut and paste to your browser. No idea why.

Does anyone else use Kodak for their siggy pix? I usually just post to the DIS gallery.

Here are a set of instructions. This time I saved them after typing them up. I've done these so many times only to end up deleting them. :rolleyes:

HTH

Signature pix

Make sure your picture fits within the guidelines:
“signature guidelines say that all of the graphics in your sig have to total 35K or less, and have to fit into a 420x400 pixel area”
If your picture doesn't fit those guidelines or you aren't sure PM me & I'll do it for you.

At the top of the forum page, click “Pictures/Video”

Scroll to the bottom of the page that opens & click Add you own Disney photos Here
