How do I post a picture on Freep?

Some sites don't allow "hotlinking" which is what you're doing when "posting" pictures here on FR.

To make sure the image you're linking allows hotlinking, after you press the "Preview" button to preview what your post will look like, click on the "refresh" button of your browser.

This forces the browser to go back out and grab the image from the soruce, rather than use the cached version on your pc. If your image is replace by the red box, you can't use that image on FR.

It is the end of the week and I guess I am tired.

Could you do that again?

Look, even a blond can do this:

Thank you. “A” & “F” appear to be approximately the same size and proportion, and even if artificially rendered, they are of significant artistic interest to those of us who dwell on such matters in the doldrums of winter.

Here we go again: Apparently, I could not use photos from facebook so I took one from my ritzpix album.

Wow that's big, how do I shrink it?

Soooo.......I can't upload something from my hard drive? It needs to be linked?

This should help you out.

Correct. I have about four web sites, so I use those, BUT there are quite a few sites that allow you to upload photos.

A little caveat emptor: When you post on Flicker or Photobucket, there is a limited amount of bandwidth you can use before they block the photo from being shown. Also, when you sign up, that five foot long agreement includes a "creative commons" clause. This means when you post your photo on that site, it becomes public domain and can be used by anyone for any purpose.

There was quite the little stink a couple of years ago when a youth pastor posted photos of group outings to fairs, field trips, etc. A cell phone company grabbed one of the photos of one of the girls and used it in an ad campaign. For the purposes of the campaign, the girl in the photo was supposed to be a dork. She was actually a pleasant looking girl, just acting a little goofy for the camera. On a darker note, some sites grab photos of girls from these sites and post them on "voyeur" web sites. Most parents aren't thrilled about this, but it's perfectly legal.

It needs to be linked?

Yes. Get yourself a feee account at photobucket or one of the other image hosting services. It is probably best to use a pseudonym for your account name. Just follow the hosting service's instructions to upload images, and use the image links they provide.

You guys are like the most coolest dudes on the net.

You can also make a picture, a link by putting < a href="(link site's http here)" >< img src="(image source http here)" >< /a>. Take out the spaces.
