Title: putting stuff on your blog page
Post by: Josse on November 26, 2007, 12:04:53 pm
I am trying to change my pitchure on my blog and it won't do it I'm pretty sure it is sized right any ideas?  Also how do you put pitchures in your calander entry?

Josse - try refreshing your browser. That always works for me. In other words, the profile picture is indeed loaded correctly, but your browser is still caching the old picture, so you are not seeing it. I just looked at your page and do see a new picture.

Josse:

Right now the only way you can post a picture in the middle of a blog entry is to post the image somewhere else (e.g Shutterfly), and then use the HTML editor in the blog to insert an image reference with the external URL of that image.

I have posted some pictures to shutterfly in an attempt to put them in my blog daily entries, but I can't figure out how to insert just the picture which is in shutterfly.  When I link to shutterfly the preview of my image in fastrunningblog.com is the whole screenshot of the shutterfly website, which includes my image, but that's pretty lame to post a screenshot of the website instead of just the picture.  :-\

I use webshots.com.

Much easier than shutterfly...


You just upload to an album and then can pick what pixel size you want the photos. i.e. 100, 200, 425, 500 i think are the choices and it has a link that says "Direct Link to Image" and you just Control + C that sucker and you are set!

I have been inserting pics in almost every one of my blog entries for months now.  I use Picasa 3, by Google.  Works great and is very easy.  I think I posted a "how to" somewhere on this Forum.  I had so many people asking me how to do it I decided to type it up for all to see.
