How to post your picture and other neato stuph

Post by scottidog »

I have gotten a few questions on how to get a picture into your posts. So here is a short how-to on the WHiZZi-bang stuff with the BBCode. For a complete list of the codes and what they do go here



The easiest way, if you don't want to type in the code, is to use the handy-dandy little buttons so thoughtfully provided by the programmers.



I am going to put a pic here. You would click the IMG button and then put in the URL where the pic is located.



Then, and this is important, after the URL. (Apparently no spaces between the code and the URL is important too.)







The other important thing to note is that the picture has to be on a server that allows for direct linking.



Don't ask me what the "Code" "List" or "List=" buttons do.



And I can never get the signature thing to work for me.

Geocities and Fortunecity don't allow that for your information :)
Don't ask me what the "Code" "List" or "List=" buttons do.
Code-tag:
CODE

<?php

function test_code()

{

    echo "Some code examples";

    return 0;

}

?>



List-tag


This
is
a
list

I disabled signatures. There are plenty of reasons why I disabled them :)

It should look something like this when done.



CODE

[img]http://home.bendcable.com/bjordan735/clikhere.jpg[/img]



Only, maybe not green. ;)



You could also type the URL where the picture is located, highlight the entire URL with your mouse, and click the IMG button. OR you could type the [img]and[/img] tags around your URL. Do whichever way is easier for you, they all produce the same results.
