Uploading image onto page for cache I'm creating

[+Jamanduatt]

I'm in the final stages of creating my first cache. I've got just about everything ready, and have begun constructing the page for the cache itself. I've got all the text set up, but can't figure out how to get an image to appear on the main cache page. I know how to get images into the gallery, but how to get a primary iamge up on the cache page itself? I guess I could load an image onto my own web page, then embed html code in the text on the cache page to reference it. Is there any easier way?

 

Thanks very much!

Sounds likie you are on the right track - HTML code and reference to a picture location. Can be uploaded to the page or on a remote server.

When you view your cache page, there will be an "upload images" link on the right side of the page near the top. That will get the images into the proper place on the GC servers (they don't go into your personal gallery). Once uploaded, there will be a link to the image on the cache page just before where the logs will start. You can click on that link to view the image and get the address for that image that can then be referenced using html in your cache description. It sounds like you already understand the html part, so I won't go into that. This image address should look something like this:

Hope this helps.

By choosing the View > Source option in your browser of another cahe page you can see the HTML code that others have used to do certain things and use that as a reference for your cache page HTML code. Here is a link to quick and dirty HTML codes for cache pages.
