Computer Dummy

There is a table on the page with your picture with the Title, description etc. There is also Embed. Just ctr+c and ctrl+v that text starting with < a href

You can post any picture from the internet




with img html tag (delete _ symbol)

or like this?

look under your description area and you will see embed with a link. copy and paste

Copy the link on your image page and paste it in the thread, it starts with < a href

What sort of photos are you wanting to post?

Photos of YOUR art?

Photos you find in other places on the internet?

If it is YOUR art, then this is pretty simple. If other places on the internet, then not always so simple, BUT possible.

When you just write the code that links to an image on the internet in such a way that it shows the picture here, then this is hot linking, and websites (I think) usually prefer that you not do it this way, because if too many people do it this way, then it might exhaust the website's allowances for transferring data, causing problems for them.

Don't worry about how I am able to post this code without it activating [THAT's another coding trick, when we want to write about the code instead of making the code actually work.

When you go to an image in your images and click on it, you will arrive at a page that shows the image with a block of code somewhere to the right lower part of the screen. The code for your image that I show here is:

<a href='http://fineartamerica.com/featured/silvias-baby-danl.html'><img src='http://fineartamerica.com/displayartwork.html?id=12495671&width=249&height=259' alt='Art Prints' title='Art Prints' style='border: none;'></a>

When YOU just copy this code [highlight with mouse, right click, and press "copy"] and paste it into this discussion box, then you will get this picture to appear:

I had to ask, I didn't know about having to press ctrl key and the c key to 'copy' and ctrl, v key to 'paste'. I just kept trying to right click and paste from that link on the image page.

You donīt have to press ctrl c and ctrl v, itīs just keyboard shortcut for right click copy and paste: ))

The embed code makes it so easy to do this

We actually have a Help Tab on the Discussions-Home Page
This comes directly from the FAA Help section

Okay...that did NOT work in the past, like 2 yrs ago when I joined! That saves time now, thanks!
