Hi there,

 

I would like to add a background photo to my cache listing. The photo is stored on my hard drive but how do i get it to be the background image. ????????? please help :-)

You could store it while editing your submission at the geocaching.com servers. Or, you can also host the image at www.imageshack.us. After that, copy the "Direct Link to Image" and place it on the space for the background image URL.

How/where does one store an image while editing a submission? Thanks!

I always just use the upload a picture on the cache page for my background image, instead of an outside photo hosting service. I name it "Background". When you click on the picture on your cache page, it pops up a seperate page and you can copy the url and then put that right into the background url spot.

Thank goodness. You ever try to read some people's Myspace pages? I'd hate for cache pages to wind up like that.

AMEN TO THAT. It is wayyyy to hard and annoying to read text through a picture.
