Trying to post a picture hosted by Picasa...



Got it!

Thanks JBubble.

hrmm, that didn't work at all...

[jdubbs32584]

need some help?

[HtM]

Yeah, I think so.

When I'm in the Picasa account, on the right hand side of the screen, there is a space which reads:

HTML to embed in website

I thought the way to embed was to copy that text, and insert it between the IMG /IMG tags (with brackets), but that's not working.

Specifically, the copied text is:

<a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/dbnoyola/NiceGuysMotorcycleClub/photo#5036381940486305842"><img src="https://lh5.ggpht.com/dbnoyola/ReTSsOPg-DI/AAAAAAAAAAY/2mIU-SrrLZg/s800/DSC_0490.jpg" /></a>

Got it.

Take the second link in that string and post it inside the img brackets.

[ img ]https://lh5.ggpht.com/dbnoyola/ReTSsOPg-DI/AAAAAAAAAAY/2mIU-SrrLZg/s800/DSC_0490.jpg[ /img ]

What you can also do is right click on the picture in Picasa and choose Properties. There should be a value called "Image Location". Copy and past that url and it should work too.

(actually, I have one more quick question, while I have your attention!)

I tried (in my Help! post) to hyperlink to Corsair Industries.  I successfully linked to it, but know there must be a way to avoid the long tag and substitute it for one word.

Example:
the link I was getting at is

http://www.corsair-industries.com/parts/Ducati%20Tools/Ducati%20Alternator%20Cover%20Removal%20Tool/

However, I'd like it to link from just one word, in that particular case, the word THESE.

By wedging the http between the URL /URL tags, I got a link, but am I able to substitute the actual http text with a word or two to clean things up?

Again, thanks for your help.  You'd think still being (just) under thirty I'd be a little more computer savvy!

[jdubbs32584]

Good question. If you want to just shrink a url, you can go here: tinyurl.com

In your case, it turns out like this: http://tinyurl.com/634tue

I know theres a way to turn a word into a link. Lemme research. Hold please...
