Help

Sorry if its another daft question, but how do I put a picture on the description area of one of my caches...IYSWIM.

Just thought it would jazz the page up a little, or would it put people off printing out the cache page

 

Thanks

Linking-wise I'm sure someone will be along shortly.

 

I like photos on a cache page, so long as they are not too big!

(Cache paperless, so no printing out pages)

I've tried using {img} {/img} , as I do elsewhere in cyberland, with no luck

Hi,

 

First you have to upload the pic to somewhere on the internet. The easiest place is, however, the cache page. Click 'upload image' in usual way.

 

Then go to the gallery, which should now show your image. Click the image, which opens in a new window. Copy the address in the address bar at the top, something like:

http://img.geocaching.com/cache/log/74d407...e24201c7a91.jpg

 

Second, edit your cache page. Click the box "the descriptions below are in HTML"

 

Basic HTML is easy and various guides are available. Basically you put instructions in < > and < / > cancels it. So bold is < b > and to turn it off do < /b >.

All without the spaces.

 

Use < p > for a new paragraph, or < br > for a line break. Again without the spaces.

 

To add a pic, with a title try something like this:

 

< center >< b >Your title here< /b >< br >

< img src=

"http://img.geocaching.com/cache/log/74d407c-9290-ee24201c7a91.jpg">

< /center >

Replace the bit in inverted commas with the address of your pic. Keep the inverted commas!

 

If you untick the box that adds the cache to the review queue, you can play around with it until you're happy, without getting it looked at by Deci.

Hope that helps.

Thanks again, thought I'd link the cache page. I'm still not 100% sure, but it looks better than it did

Good work. FYI, as a printing-out cacher, I can disable pictures and photos when I choose the printer-friendly page, so that shouldn't be a concern!

FYI

 

You can put <center> and </center> eitehr side of the image and it will centre the pic so be more in line with your text
