I'll try that. Thanks!

It seems that I can't do that. Any suggestions?

 

[Dan Murphy]

Try uploading the picture to www.imagestation.com and see how you do. If you get stuck, check back here.

 

[DebD4T]

Well...that didn't work!! Any more ideas? Thanks.

Deb, you're SO CLOSE!!!

Just remove the ".thumb" at the end of the filename, and you'll have this:

The address you grabbed is to the tiny little thumbnail-sized image. If you go to Imagestation and click on that thumbnail, it should take you to the full sized image. That's the one you want to grab the address for.

You can click on "quote" on the bottom of this message if you want to see the code I used, but it's exactly the same as yours without the ".thumb"

If you want to add it to your signature, you'll need to reduce the displayed size a bit so it will be no more than 400 pixels wide, like this:

<img width=400 src="http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid136/p0e15926f4fb368cc04307cb9c79f5b91/f76189da.jpg">

Cute photo!

 

[DebD4T]

OK...well I got the picture bigger...THANKS!!! But how do you change the display size and decrease the pixels?? thanks for the help!!

 

[Dan Murphy]

Looks great!!!!!

You need to switch from the UBB code [] to html code <>

You want the line to look like this............

&#60img width=400 src=http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid136/p0e15926f4fb368cc04307cb9c79f5b91/f76189da.jpg>

There needs to be one space after the img and one after the size, 400 here, no others though. And if the line extends to two lines, don't pay attention to that, is is just word wrap, you want to type, or copy the command with no 'enters' to force it to a second line. (Hope that is not confusing, LOL)

It will look like this then...................

<img width=400 src=http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid136/p0e15926f4fb368cc04307cb9c79f5b91/f76189da.jpg>

Hooray!!! I think it worked, no?!

Thanks so much for all the help!!

One more question...can I add another picture? Or is that pushing it?

 

[Dan Murphy]

You could, but the total size can not exceed the guideline (I think it is in the FAQ thread above), 400 X 400. You would have to make this one smaller, and the bytes can not be more than 35 K, you are at 26 here. So yes, you can, with a little manipulation. Try it.

Not sure if this worked (and I think it may be too big) but here goes . . .

 

[Dan Murphy]

It looks great!!!! Cute.

 

[maxie]

Thanks Dan! I'll try that when I get home. You have such patience to put up with us techno wannabees!

 

[Dan Murphy]

Hey, people have put up with me and my questions, least I can do is try and help others with a few of the things I can do. Always nice to see people learn.

Hi Lisa. Just checking, are you trying to just post a link to that album (very cute kitties, BTW) or are you trying to make a picture show up? They are so cute, LOL, so little.

 

[lisajl]

Thanks Dan, was trying to post them but just decided link would be easier. Also..won't take up space here.
Thanks...
Lisa

Hope this works

 

[BabyTigger99]

Take two...

 

[BabyTigger99]

Yippee!! It worked!!

 

[Dan Murphy]

BT, you have too much there. You only want to have up to the jpeg.

If you go to your imagestation account, click on the storage bin, find the small thumbnail, click on that, and have the larger picture pop up. Put your mouse pointer over the picture, right mouse click, a menu pops up, click on properties, highlight and copy the url address and then paste where you want the picture.

You want it to look like this...............

&#91img]http://edit.imagestation.com/pixami/ImageServer.psp?Cmd=GetEditedImage&ID=sess:0KNBWS105XXY&width=-1&height=-1&fmt=jpeg[/img]

But, is is really big. If you want to use that in your signature, it needs to be edited down before uploading.

If you just wanted to post in a post, make it look like this..........

&#60img width=600 src=http://edit.imagestation.com/pixami/ImageServer.psp?Cmd=GetEditedImage&ID=sess:0KNBWS105XXY&width=-1&height=-1&fmt=jpeg>

And you will get this....................

<img width=600 src=http://edit.imagestation.com/pixami/ImageServer.psp?Cmd=GetEditedImage&ID=sess:0KNBWS105XXY&width=-1&height=-1&fmt=jpeg>

What a great picture!!!!!!!

Edited to add............

I see you got it. It still is a bit too wide, 450, needs to be 400. If not, the clipart police will whack you here. So use that 600 concept above and jsut use 400. I think you might have changed pictures while I was typing, LOL.
