How do I put my already hosted picures into a listing?
#1Greetings,
I'm an old technology dinosaur who taught myself (apparently not very much) about computers, so I usually need help at every turn. I have a rod, accompanied by pictures that I would like to list. I already have these pictures hosted on my web-site program, they already have their own URL's. So actually it is just a matter of how to get the picture URL's into my listing. I wonder if someone would be so kind as to enlighten me as to the necessary procedure? In plain words, what do I have to do? Am I going to have trouble with the fact that the URL's are naturally in HTML?
Thank you,
Bob

#2Bob,
I don't know if I can help, but I'll try. I use photobucket for hosting my photo's so I assume you are at that stage with your photo's you use at your website.
When you are creating your posting you can click on the 'image' button and a box will pop up for you to input the url for the photo. I open two browsers simultaneously and cut and past the url. When I do it from photobucket, "IMG" or something like that appears preceding and following the actual url address. I found that I need to delete these from the url line in order for it to work.
Hope that helps.

#3Hi Chris,
Firstly, let me thank you for your reply. Now let's see if I know where I'm going from here. You mentioned "photobucket", just so I am sure what you are referring to, is that some kind of hosting service? Again if I understand what you're telling me, as I am entering my listing, I will see a box that says "image", when I hit that box, a place comes up for me to insert the picture URL. I have several pictures, can I enter more than one? One more question, if you will be so kind; Can I make a practice run at this by including a picture in one of the messages in reply to this thread to see if all is correct. I think I read in here that someone did that.
Thanks again,
Bob

#5Trying again with a photo

If this doesn't work, I'll try again next week, I'll be away from the computer for the weekend. Obviously, I still need assistance.
Thanks much,
Bob

#6Hi Bob,
Yes, photobucket is a photo hosting site.
When posting a photo on this site, I click the image button then copy and paste the address inside the box. I then delete the bracketed "IMG" in front of and at the end of the address.
I enter only one photo at a time, click OK, then hit the image button again if I want to add a new photo. Each entry shows in your text area and I leave a blank line or two between each entry, or sometimes I add text describing the photo etc.
I'm posting a photo below of my new toy in order to remind myself how I do this.
I hope this helps. My knowledge on all of this is limited.

#13Blitzen, Thanks for explaining that Photobucket site, because I just tried using it, expecting the incomprehensible procedures I've found at similar sites, but to my complete & utter amazement, I succeeded (2nd try) in making it WORK! I still had to copy down the URL manually (i.e., pen & paper), but that I don't mind at all. (I will mind exposure to increased spam attacks, which I always assume goes along with getting something "for free.")
