How to Post a Photo on Photo-A-Day- NEW INSTRUCTIONS

Msmoto

Flickr keeps changing their website layout, thus, new instructions:

From your Flickr account photostream:
Click on image
Click on the curved outline arrow in lower right hand corner
Click HTML
Click on the size box and select medium size with maximum 640
Copy HTML code
Paste code in your post on NRF - See more at: http://forum.nikonrumors.com/discussion/46/how-to-post-a-photo-on-photo-a-day-new-instructions#Item_122

There is no point in posting the 640px version of the picture. The picture will be resized to 640px in any case, but if your original file is larger you offer the viewers the option to view the large version if they click on the picture. This is something I like about the new layout and it would be great if we did not have to load Flickr, etc. to see a large version.

Posting photos is not working at all for me.  

I copy the code and this is what it looks like:

<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/taotejared/8310883653/" title="35mmCompair by TaoTeJared, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8364/8310883653_68757a6367_z.jpg" width="640" height="555" alt="35mmCompair"></a>

What am I suppose to do with it after that?

@TTJ - I've edited Your post, so You could click on edit and see the difference in code. As golf wrote, You need to click the <> icon and paste Your code from flickr overthere

Dear NRF Members, 

I made a quick video in order to help those that are finding it hard to post on PAD. Please have a look and tell me if this help. If possible watch it in Full HD mode to see all the step. 

Cheers

Hi all,

My best,

Just testing your way, msmoto.

The brackets just tell the program "here comes an html code", which was recognized automatically in the old version. The html code is what flickr gives you in the described videos. If you are interested what is going on in the background, here are two fun tutorials:

Hi all,

If one doesn't want to use Flickr, the key is in the Insert icon and having a URL to point to the image file.

My best,

Mike

Let me try to test the icon Mike found:

Bah. I can't make that work.

Msmoto

Here is an alternate way.....from 500px

Grab the "embed" code and edit to this appearance:

OK, I think I have this... inserted the following after clicking the "Insert image"

http://pcdn.500px.net/11240057/44154bb8f756ba075c1e9e8747586439cb4cd996/4.jpg

And it seemed to work.

Next try

Interesting. I'm trying to post off (NR sponsor?) DigitalRev. I think their site is more primitive (the "share" function only shares the photo on their own site). Or I can't find the export button (which might be in front of my nose...) the other day my google-machine told me to "press Any Key" and I couldn't find the Any key on my keyboard...). *shrug* I wish Admin would bring "attach file" back.  

Msmoto

Note, the code is the second http code on 500px...the one which has 500px.net, not the .com link.

shawnino

Wow msmoto... I can see his kneepad dusting the track. Cool.

Msmoto

More explanation    Here is the code I used for the "Insert Image" and I copied this from the full code as shown here:

http://pcdn.500px.net/8745929/ac78261e9f4b731a85619c953b2acbfcde32ffca/4.jpg

<a href="http://500px.com/photo/8745929"><img src="http://pcdn.500px.net/8745929/ac78261e9f4b731a85619c953b2acbfcde32ffca/4.jpg" alt="Josh Hayes, the Man by Tommie Lauer (Msmoto)) on 500px.com" border="0" style="margin: 0 0 5px 0;"></a><br/><font style="font-size: 120%;"><a href="http://500px.com/photo/8745929">Josh Hayes, the Man</a> by <a href="http://500px.com/Msmoto">Tommie Lauer</a></font>

Hope this helps

And, that was Josh Hayes on his Yamaha...I joked with some others there that I took the photo of Josh, then took a nap, then captured the other riders...
