Sorry to be thick!

I'm trying to post a photo which I have on Pacasaweb using the [Img] button, but it just posts the URL between the 2 [Img]'s and not the photo. What am I doing wrong?

Picasaweb is a pain to link images with, I'll just write up a little guide and be right back...

Find the picture you want.

I am using this photo as an example:

http://picasaweb.google.com/tyr.francoperlak/FieldLife/photo#5091452690074241218

Select the size (normally 800px) and c lick the 'Link to this Photo' button on the right.

Copy the contents of the box 'HTML to embed in website'.

It will look something like this:

<a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/tyr.francoperlak/FieldLife/photo#5091452690074241218"><img src="http://lh4.google.com/tyr.francoperlak/Rqh5PvaVCMI/AAAAAAAAAFk/fXkNGdl74g4/s800/...%20in%20the%20Field%201.jpg" /></a>

I have highlighted the bits you need to remove in red.

<a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/tyr.francoperlak/FieldLife/photo#5091452690074241218"><img src="http://lh4.google.com/tyr.francoperlak/Rqh5PvaVCMI/AAAAAAAAAFk/fXkNGdl74g4/s800/...%20in%20the%20Field%201.jpg" /></a>

This leaves you with just:

http://lh4.google.com/tyr.francoperlak/Rqh5PvaVCMI/AAAAAAAAAFk/fXkNGdl74g4/s800/...%20in%20the%20Field%201.jpg

Finally you add the image tags to be beginning and the end of that line without the spaces shown below.




Then everyone can see your picture.




EDIT: Can we have this and other guides to linking in images stickied?

Thanks for your help, Tyr, much appreciated. I wanted to post a photo I took last night on the Reflections competition. I'll get it done now.

Good idea, but can you start a properly titled thread please and paste your guide into the opening message, after which I'll make it a Sticky and delete this thread.
