How to
Host/Post Pictures
You will need a hosting service that allows
remote hosting! Remote
hosting means that you can see the image when
it's posted somewhere other than the site it's
uploaded to. Some examples of sites that do
not allow remote hosting is Yahoo
Photos, Tripod, iVillage.
In most cases, your ISP will give you remote
hosting space. Check with them before signing
up for hosting elsewhere.
Some
sites that are free or cheap that allow remote
hosting:
Image Magician
--Easy to use and
reasonably priced.
Currently not accepting new members, and they
are not free.
walagata
--Haven't tried
it, but they give you quite a bit of free
space.
Ranchoweb
--Also reasonably priced
but not as user friendly...still very reliable.
Photobucket
--Free
and allows animated gifs. To keep this up and
running, please consider making a donation!
villagephotos
--Free for
5MB and very reasonably priced for larger
accounts.
Boomspeed
--No longer free. To be honest, this would be
my last choice for that price.
Lycos
--Free, but
you have to create a webpage to use it.
HTML Code for posting:
1. Save pic to hard
drive.
2. Upload to hosting service.
3. Get URL for pic you uploaded
4. Post the URL in the appropriate place in
this code:
<img src=http://www.urlgoeshere.jpg>
5. Post that exact where you want to display
your picture.
You're done!
You can also size an
image smaller. If the original, for example,
is 400x500, and you don't wish to resize the
original, but would like to display the image
smaller, you would use this code:
<img src=http://www.urlgoeshere.jpg
width="200" height="300"> |
