How to Post a Photo

A simple guide on how to post photos on a Website.

Sign up for a free Photo/Picture hosting Website. I suggest Photobucket (www.photobucket.com), it's free and easy to use.

The BBC Code for inserting images are:

Code: [Select]

[img][/img]
You then place the URL for the image in there for example http://www.alexluyckx.com/blog-images/claudius.jpg

So when I place it inside the image tags. It appears.

If you're posting from flickr, the community guidelines state that the image has to link back to the flickr page if you're posting outside of the flickr site. However the only option they give you is in html format.

Code: [Select]

<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/axle81401/3806450096/" title="F1000020 by .:Axle:., on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3524/3806450096_92305051ca.jpg" width="500" height="500" alt="F1000020" /></a>

To make this friendly to BBcode, you'll need to do the following.

Replace the

Code: [Select]

<a href=" with [url=
Then leaving the URL (http://www.flickr.com/photos/axle81401/3806450096/) intact.

Replace

Code: [Select]

" title="F1000020 by .:Axle:., on Flickr"><img src=" with ][img]
Then leaving the image reference (http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3524/3806450096_92305051ca.jpg) intact

Replace

Code: [Select]

" width="500" height="500" alt="F1000020" /></a> with [/img][/url].

So when you're done, you'll end up with a link like this:

Code: [Select]

[url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/axle81401/3806450096/][img]http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3524/3806450096_92305051ca.jpg[/img][/url]

And on the board: (When you click the image it links back to flickr)
