Adding pics / animations to blogs

[mercystreet]

Hi!

I was trying to put some images and what have you into the body of my blog entry, and they looked fine when I hit 'preview', but came out as links when I hit 'save' - any idea why this happened and how I can make them come out properly?

To add the pic, I hit the insert image icon, pasted the url into space provided and all that so I don't know what it is I should have done.....

I have no problem putting things into my posts....

when I put in the photo and hit preview the actual picture shows, but when I actually post it, only the link to the photo shows. Please help..

Thank You!!!!

I've not had any success cutting and pasting code for photos into posts on this forum. What I do is right click the photo and select copy. Then right click and select paste to put it into the body of the message. Same thing for smileys. I do use code for my diet ticker.

Hi Valerie... :-)

Is that what you did in your BLOG, also? I think the problem is in the blog, and not in posting on the forums...

Thanks...

Sorry, I didn’t read the message closely enough. You know, I can’t remember how I got the photos into my blog here. It’s been a few weeks since I deleted it.

I miss your BLOG here.. it was easier to read..lol..than going to another place..hehehehe. I am glad you are doing so well with your green smoothies. You are certainly an inspiration to many!


Have a beautiful day!!!:)

I tried it the way you describe, and couldn't do it. Unless I'm missing something

Still baffled as to why they show up on the preview but not in the final save....

Since the update in FEB the photos in Blog have a glitch

You can not upload from your source like a cd or a file on desktop. You need a URL address. this thread explains

Thanks, Dawn...

That is what I have been doing..LOL. I have my photos on photobucket and pasted in the URL in the box that popped up, and it showed the picture for the preview, but, when I posted it finally, only the URL shows as a link to the photo.

It is crazy. I know I did it correctly...but it is not working. I want to see my duckies in my Blog..LOL..

Oh..well. Maybe it will get fixed soon....

thanks for the suggestions, though...

Here's a thought..........careful I am thinking!!

When I copy the Url & paste it I click on the blog & I click on the insert photo icon (landscape cartoon) edit your last blog & see if that helps. If not I tried. Guru I am not.

[Elizabeth]

yes..that is what I have been doing..LOL..

I just edited it again, and the same thing happened. It "works" and shows up in the preview..and then in the final post, it only shows the link to the photo.

aaaarrrggghhh......:)

thanks though....

[mercystreet]

Same here......
