How Do You Post Your Team Logo On Your Cache Page?

[Vapor.TRH.]

Can someone tell me how you post your team logo on your cache page? I have seen this on a few pages and am stumped as to how to get it there?

 

many thanks!

Are you talking about the stats logo that says the team, hidden and found? Or are you talking about your own team logo?

You need to use HTML, which means you need to check the box stating you are using HTML on the page.

 

This is a helpful site:

 

HTML codes

HTML is helpful, but you need to point to something before the ole <IMG SRC=xxxxxxxx.gif> </img> tag will work..Again.. are we talking about the geocaching stats banner or a home made team logo?

You don't need the " </img> " part....

Trying to add a homemade logo to my page.

is the logo/image on the web somewhere? (whats the address?)

Scan the logo image or take a digital photo of it and upload it to a file on your computer. Eidit the imagae in photo shop, infran , Kodak or what ever program you use fof images, then save it to a file. On your cache page, click on "upload an image link", and follow directions on page to upload an image. When the image appears, click on it, so that it opens in its own window. highlight and copy the url of the image in the address bar of your browser. On your cache report page, check the box that enables html. then write, in the appropriate box, : <img src=" paste your image url here" > That's all there is to it.

That's right - Geocaching.com's HTMLtidy will put it there for you...

Ok, I see where you are going with this.

 

First Load the Image onto Groundspeak's server

 

1. Login to your Geocaching Account

2. Click on MY Account

3. On the MY ACCOUNT PAGE

- right hand column under Account Options

- Click Edit My Profile

4. Now Browse down to MY Photo

- Click on Change/Edit

5. Click on Upload Image

6. Follow the steps and upload an image.

 

Now let's link to the photo..

 

1. Repeat step 2 - 4

2. You should now be looking at a bunch of images.

3. Locate your team banner and right click on it.

4. Left Click on Properties

5. Now you should see a popup window.

6. LOCATE the Address of the image.

I.e. http://img.Groundspeak.com/user/thumb/43e0...7ad2bcb9f07.jpg

(BTW-this is just an example - it does not point to anything)

7. Highlight the address and then right click on highlighted address.

8. Left Click on Copy.

9. Open up something like Notepad or Wordpad and paste the address into it.

 

Last Step.. Adding the image to your cache page..

 

1. Go back to My Account

2. Locate the cache page you wish to add the image to.

3. Open the cache page and click EDIT.

4. Locate where you wish to put the image.

5. Paste in the following code replacing my fake image address with your actual image address.

 

<img src=

" http://img.Groundspeak.com/user/thumb/43e0...7.jpg">

 

6. Save the changes to your cache page.

7. If you did everything correct your banner should now appear.

 

BTW - Another way is to upload the image directly on your caches page, but then you see this image on your webpage. The method I described will not do this. How you upload the file is up to you.

 

Good Luck..

 

Trust me..The steps may appear to be quite a few, but the process only takes approx 1 - 2 minutes to do.
