Pictures on cache page

[+out12]

I've done it before but can't figure it out now. I uploaded a picture to a cache page I am working on and want to put it in the description using html. How do I get the url for the picture? When I open the picture on the cache page, it pops up over the page with nothing but a "close" link. Right clicking does nothing either. I managed to accomplish my goal by loading the picture in a reviewer note, where I could then click on "print picture" to open it in it's own window and get the url. What am I doing wrong?

Have you right clicked and gone to view source on the picture? copy that info and paste it to the location?

Yes. The coding has changed. Right click on the picture. Then click on properties, and copy that url.

I find it fairly easy if you can follow a few steps.

 

1. Upload the picture to a sight like Picasa

2. Once it's uploaded, once you view the picture you will see on the right hand it say's embed the image click this and then a drop down menu will say "size" and you will have a couple of options. It will give you a line to copy and paste.

 

3. Open up a new window and pull up your cache page, edit the page

4. right above the cache description there is a box says "Use html" click that box and then paste the picture where you want.

 

5. You will like need to also know 2 other html codes: (remove the quotes I list below when you use them"

 

"</br>" will add a break return

 

"<center>" Will center everything for you

 

When you click the use html it will remove your formatting.

 

So you could type it like this: After the bold part is the cut and paste from the photo sight, so you wouldn't have to type that part. Here is what it looks like : http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...49-a6b5eff3795f

 

"<center>High Maintenance and I were out exploring today, making our

way around Mills Lake park. It was an amazing walk - the lake was

frozen and the ducks were still on there. The lake was covered in

little frozen duck prints - was very neat.<br />

Sorry no FTF prize - just a great walk along the park!<br />

I now know what I am doing wrong, or at least different. I am now using Firefox and right click - properties does not do the same thing as IE. I also was going to try something like uploading to Photobucket if I needed to. Guess I have it figured out now, thanks for the help.
