How do I insert images ?

I made an account in www.serving.com and uploaded images there,but couldn't insert one in my post ?

Thanks .

I think it may work doing

Code:

[img]url[/img]

where url is the address of the image you want to insert.

lets try



I did:

Code:

[img]http://piensaenborde.googlepages.com/queteden.gif[/img]

and how did I know what adress to write?. right click on the image you want to insert, click on properties, double click on the long address and copy/paste.

voilà

If you uploaded an image you are not going to use the "Insert an Image" button. You will use the url for the image and make it a link.

Open the image in your browser, copy the url, paste it here, select it and click the "Image" button.

Click "Preview" to see if it works.

EDIT: OOPS! I typed "Link". I meant "Image"...sorry Lina!!!

We posted at the same time! Yah...what April said.

** sits and admires all the smartie girls **
Rhonda

hehehehhhehe, smart people never sleep

one way or the other, if you want your image to show here, use the [img] method. if you want the img to pop only when clicked use the [url] method.

YES OF COURSE SMART AND QUICK ,THANK YOU BOTH

But I've never copied or pasted anything before so I'll ask DH to teach me.OK, I'M not as smart

BTW,what's url

For April ,what's your name in flylady group on jumpcut,I'd like to add you as a friend

This is the url for this page:

https://flybaby.forumotion.com/Suggestionbox-f4/How-do-I-insert-images-t79.htm#1061

The address!

Lina, I never got to register at jumpcut because I didn't know how to, and now that I know how to, flylady group has no activity. Do you know if one can register and join just as somebody's fan without being in a group? I mean, just be there as a standalone name that can post messages and films, but doesn't belong to a group? If not, I might as well find a Springsteen group and join (arf arf)

Yes ,sure you can register without having activeties.You can still comment , make friends and make and watch movies. In fact most Flybabies are just watchers( I think ).

We have movies that didn't show up in the group,too bad.But it appears on my home page if any of my friends made a movie or commented on mine.( comments show up even from non friends members )

So, you're welcom to join us . Don't forget to tell us your nickname.

Ohhhh don't mention that - sore spot for me. How many have I made now maybe four. Only the 1st one shows up ... And I post that I made a new one too.

Even fllylady's aren't that good... there are tons that are much better!

Major sore spot... but I think everyone here is my jumpcut buddies , so when ya'll do new stuffies... I ru-u-u-u-u-un go see it! And give you all my wittle hearts!

Rhonda

I did it! I registered at jumcut as Abril http://www.jumpcut.com/abril
let's see if I can find you all.

//added

I think I found and added as friends Lina (Lanloon), Internettie, Rhonda sue and Heidi (sacto_heidi) and Natalia (Dutchgirl). Did I get it right?

Yes, they are all right,hope you have a good time making your own movies

I still have a problem.I tried Many times to insert an image ,followed April and Hiedi's instructions carefully but all I get posted is the url of the image.Could any body figure out where I was wrong ?

Horrrrray,I did it .Ok I figured out what was wrong.The photos I was copying didn't have a url in their properties only the name.So I copied one of the photos in my jumpcut and found that it has a url.I pasted it here sucssefully.You'll see the image soon

go you, Lina!! see, we all learn new tricks here. I guess we're not-so-old dogs

Ok , you guys, I must be extra dense - I have read & reread all the posted directions for inserting images & I CAN"T get it to work at all.

Am I supposed to type the "[img][img]" you talk about & then copy & paste my pic url in between them? Or, am I just supposed to copy & paste the url in my post & then click "insert an image"?? But, that just takes me back to Servimg.com. Yuk!

But, like Lina, ALL I get with any of many versions I've tried is the url ONLY in my post!! No picture!

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr; as Rhonda would say! Wish it helped - arrggghhh - why can't I understand this stuff? - even preschoolers can do this stuff these days!!

But, I don't give up, just pause awhile 'til my haedache goes away & then try again with the sage advice from you smart ladies!! Yay!

Marie

Oh you made me remember my frustration trying to insert images ,it took me a whole day I thought I will never do it

I will try my best to show you how.First forget about [ insert an image ] that you see up here,as Heidi said it has nothing to do with * inserting images* And forget about Serving .com I made an account for nothing after all.

Now this is what you do :

1. Right click on the picture .
2. click properties.
3. highlight the url.
4. right click on the highlighted url.
5. click copy.
6. go to your post ,click the [ image ] ,not the [ insert an image ],it will show in the post.
7. right click beside it ,then click paste,the url will show beside it.
8. Highlight the [image] and the url.
9. click [image] again.
10. click preview.
I will copy my DD picture again to be sure I didn't forget anything,if you have any questions I'm here.

OMIGOSH !!! I FINALLY GOT IT !!!??

You ladies are wizards! ..... & very patient ones, at that!

Lina - Your detailed explanation helped immensely!! Thank you muchly!

April - I had overlooked the "/" thingie & I had left a space in the middle that shouldn't be there. ... picky! picky!!? Who knew?? Thank you, thank you!

... & do I dare bug you guys with yet another puzzle to me?? How do you get url addresses for the pictures in your personal folder in your computer so you can insert them here? ... other than taking them to Servimg.com?

Again, many thanx - I am SO delighted!

Marie

YEA YOU!!!

All pictures, content, etc. posted anywhere on the internet has to be uploaded to a server host so you have to upload them before you can share.

Thanx, Heidi!

It sure took a lot of time & had me pretty frustrated for a bit!

... & who are these "server hosts"? What one do most folks use? Where do you find them?

I know - pretty basic for talented people like yourself, but that's where I'm still at!!?

Marie

No problem! I am not exactly a whiz with this stuff and I design web sites. I leave the how and where to David.

According to your email address, AOL is your host ISP (Internet Service Provider.) I use Comcast. Those guys are just the ones who get your computer or network hooked into the web. Some are better at it than others and there are a bazzilion of them. If you want to know the basics I suggest:

http://www.internet101.org/

Thanx for the referral, Heidi - it gives me a place to start which I wouldn't have known how to find on my own. Knowing where to look is half the battle!

I'm on my way to check it out! I'll tell you if it helps. The way the url is written sounds like the level I need!!

Marie

Don't feel ashamed, Marie. I am far, far dumber than you are about computers. I don't even know what the gals were talking about up there. I'm lucky I'm able to e-mail my friends and family.

Heidi, you are a regular fountain of info and resources! How do you find all this stuff you keep telling us about? How do you have TIME to find all this stuff and read all these sites?

Bonnie

Thanx for the moral support, Bonnie - it sure bolsters a gal up! I just don't give up when I know there must be a way & folks out there who know about it who can help me. In other fields, I'm able to help back, but not this one , so far!

Just like that BenefitBar thing FlyLady is promoting now - it took me 3 weeks, NO exageration, to find out how to get it to appear on my screen after downloading it. I went after it 'cuz FL sounds like she wants to switch her reminders & stuff to it, away from Yahoo, more & more. I e-mailed FL, they referred me to BenefitBar's reps & one of them has e-mailed me several times & called me 3 times trying to help me to get it to work!! By myself?? ..... it never would have happened & I would have been left out of the activity - I don't have enuf computer savvy yet!! I just keep reaching out - you can, too!!! Discovery is tons of fun!
