How to post a photo

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Nature Photography Image Critique : One Thread

Typing in HTML isn't intuitive for most folks, but because of the way this forum is designed, you need to do it here. Here's how you do it. I'll use one of my old requests for an example.

Please note that, for display purposes, I am using brackets ([ and ]) but for HTML programming you have to use the greater than and less than symbols (< and >). Example post will follow below, followed by the display of the HTML code.

Explanation:

[center] Centers the photo. When you use the [center] tag, you need to remember to cancel it by using [/center] at the end of whatever you're trying to center.

[p] Inserts a paragraph break. Hitting enter or return does not affect line spacing in HTML, so you need to put in breaks yourself. If you want just a line break and nor a paragraph break, use [br].

[img src =" "] This inserts your photo. Put the link to your image in the quotes.

Finally, if you want to put in an active link to your website or to a larger version of the photo, here's how you do it.

Linked photo:

[a href="http://cldphoto.com/opnm3.jpg"][img src="http://cldphoto.com/t-opnm3.jpg"][/a]

Linked text: http://cldphoto.com

[a href="http://cldphoto.com"]http://cldphoto.com[/a]

And if all else fails, try emailing someone who posts here and ask them for help. Hope this helps.
