Hey Roo,

For me, complete newbie to computer jargon, could you translate this page to a clear instruction of how to do it, pretty please? ie. step1. step2. ... to get the picture embed or display on the page, instead of being a link. Cheers.

y,

you have 2 choices:

1. upload files at the bottom of the text box. people see the file names and can click, if they want to see the pic (as with yoda.jpg below)
2. click the camera icon above and browse through your files (or the internet) to get the pic

the 2nd way can be irritating to people who don't want to see your pic, but it is also very convenient for those who do. you'll see a mishmash of html code in your edit box but that is only so that ning can upload your pic to a location and use it from there (obviously it can't keep getting it from your personal computer).

(the page that roo posted shows the general html coding for posting pics to pages which is actually used in the mishmash of coding you see when you post to ning, though you have no idea where ning is actually putting your pic, so you can't use it directly till you do.)


in friendship,
prad

Would somebody explain in simple terms how to post photos directly (and not just as links)? I see the code examples below but that is rather complicated, and needlessly so. Let's hear somebody explain this so other people can also easily post...
