The Other Chip

We've got some great bloggers here, and if you look around, you'll find people trying to help other people out. Turns out, one of our loyal bloggers LambChopSushi has written a short primer on how to put photos directly into your blog, using PhotoBucket.

Check out LambChopSushi's blog, and you'll see how she's embedded photos and video clips for you to see and enjoy. For the time being, you can get to her blog on the featured News blogs list.

You can also use photos you upload directly into your myFOXdfw.com photo album. Just follow the instructions on this site to upload photos into your own album. Once the photos have been approved, you can then right-click on a particular photo, then left-click Properties for that photo.

When a little box appears, highlight the URL of that photo with your mouse, and then control-C to copy that URL code. You'll use the IMG SRC tag, and your code will look something like this. You'll paste (control-V) your URL in between the quotation marks.

(IMG SRC="http://mymedia.myfoxdfw.com/media01/Avatar/00000/5
0/00/A~NT56338_med.jpg")

The only difference is that you substitute angle-brackets < and > for the parentheses for the string above. And of course you'll substitute your own URL-string for what I wrote above. Otherwise you'll get my picture instead of the one you want.

By the way, if you use insert a photo to your blog and it's so wide that it messes up the layout of the page, add this to the end of your tag: width=400, so it would look something like this:

(IMG SRC="http://mymedia.myfoxdfw.com/yourphotohere.jpg width=400")

Remember to substitute your own URL and remember to change the ( and ) into < and >.
