HTML Help Wanted

Posted on 04/13/2005 3:26:36 PM PDT by Tom D.

I have looked at the HTML Boot Camp and have learned a lot there, but I have been unable to learn how to post a picture that is resident on my computer that I did not get off of the web. I know how to post a picture taken from the web using the form:

img_src="http://www.hotpix.com/images/xyz.gif" (enclosed by < >)

I do not know how to post a picture that I have stored on my hard drive. For instance, say I take a picture of Teddy Kennedy in a drunken stupor slobbering all over Hillary Clinton with my digital camera. I save the picture on my home computer and then want to post it on FreeRepublic.

Since I do not have a web address in the form of www.drunkenteddy.com/stinkoncrap.gif, the above form will not work.

I will appreciate any help that any of you who are much better versed in HTML can provide. If it makes any difference, I use Windows XP.

Thanks,
Tom D.

The two sites I use to upload my pictures besides my server are photobucket.com and ripway.com. Both are free and easy to use

ARG!
Glad you brought that up. Most people don't know that. They are definitely needed, especially for those of us still having to live in the stone age and use dial-up (friggin phone company). Takes forever for the pics to load and drives me nuts!

You're welcome. It has been a pet-peeve with me since posting back in 1998. I only notice the problem when I'm in dial-up mode, over a 14.4 modem (my motorolla cellfone).

How did you get your profile to be of one color and lose the "edit your homepage" link? I can't seem to do that.

I used a table and set the table background color for black. My site is currently down while I search for another web host, so that's why the images aren't there.

As far as the edit homepage link missing, I don't know. Maybe a glitch in the way the page loaded.

Thanks. That pic was off tinypic's most popular list - just wanted to see if you could post pics without extra ads, popups, etc. also plan to note to Tom D. that right clicking on an img allows you to copy the link location for posting in an < img src"" > link.
Did you see me and the President in #40? ;-)

Thanks for your help. But the whitespace at the bottom is only seen by the owner of the page FYI. That confused me.

Yep - that's exactly how you do it.
And yes that's me with the President! Here's my son Ben meeting the President - note our matching suits! ;-)

You are the only one who can see the edit link. They don't show to everyone.

Nice blog you have there. U should check mine out, it's ForewardUSA.blogspot.com, just started posted on it today so it's kind of shabby. It's gonna be a pretty static thing, until I unveil my real project (muahahahaha...); who knows when that will be. I only signed up there to post comments on someone elses blog who I can't recall right now. Nice blog that you have though. I like the clean look of it and the pix there.

thank you, I need to make some more. I have been in sort of a brain freeze time period or creative death spiral. I'll check out your blog and i'll update mine when my brain comes out of its funk. :D

Heard of Audioblogger.com? Maybe you can monkey around with that a bit. I wonder if it works together with blogspot.com, the way, I assume, that Tinypic or some other hosting site works. It seems interesting. You might make use of it, or something better, before I do.
