Below is the letter I just sent to Steve. I have deliberately added some spaces here so the pic won't show, If someone can explain it to him in an easier way, please do. First you have to have a "host" web site. That's why I have an account at photoisland. To access it go to: http:www.photoisland.com Sign in name is graybeard58 pass word is ******. Post the pictures there first. Open the pic you want to post at free republic, then at the lower left of the page you will see "link for auction", click that, click high light text, then control + C on your key board. (That copies what you high lighted) Take what you just copied and insert it between the = sign and the > sign in the following
![]()
It will look something like this
Then add parenthetical marks between the = sign and http also add parenthetical marks between jpg and > For multiple pics just repeat the process being sure to click enter twice between postings so the pics will space. you can add text above or below the pics, use
to seperate text from pics. To practice use your yahoo email to send them to your self, just check the box at the bottom of the "compose" page that says "allow HTML tags" Maybe someone at FR can explain it simplier than I can - I'll ask. Love always The Dad.
As a matter of fact it won't look anything like that. it didnt show everything I sent to him but is there a simplier way to explain it? He has access to photoisland now.
It is hard to explain in html so that it won't show up here when you type it!
Smaagee, Once you have the URL address for the picture (right click the pic and copy the properties) the html code is exactly this:
<IMG SRC="paste the URL here">
Example: The popcorn smiley
<IMG SRC="paste the URL here">
<IMG SRC="http://www.rbent.com/smilies/popcornsmilie.gif">
Makes this happen:
Right click him and copy the properties if you want to try it. All pictures will load the same way, just need the web adddress for them. Some linking sites are more stable than others, which is why after a little while you might get the red x on what was originally a good link.
