Simple "how to's" for posting on Fotolog.net
	link to another page	open link in a new window	insert an image in your post

link to another page

If you would like to post a link to another image either as a the description of your image or in response to another image on the site, here's how to do it. my beach picture in response to neene's image

the code looks like this: my beach picture in response to <a href="http://www.fotolog.net/neene/?photo_id=169027">neene's< /a>image

the text is the URL (address) of the page that you wish to link to the text is the html tag that creates the link

REMEMBER: the URL of the most recent image posted by anyone is simply : http://www.fotolog.net/username/ To get the URL that goes to a specific image: If you don't see "?photo_id=169027" as part of the address of the image you want to create a link to, follow these steps:     1. click on another "recent image" thumbnail on the page     2. now click on the thumbnail of the image you which to link to     3. URL will have the photo_id in it example: this URL brings you to the last image I posted: http://www.fotolog.net/neene/

this URL will bring you to the same image everytime: http://www.fotolog.net/neene/?photo_id=169077

open the link in a new window

If you want the page you are linking to, to open in a new browser window, as opposed to replacing the page you are linking from (always a nice gesture if you are taking someone to a page on another site): more beach pictures  your code should look like this: more <a href="http://www.meledandri.com/collections/beach/beach.htm" target="_blank">beach pictures< /a> the text is the html tag that creates the link the text is the URL (address) of the page that you wish to link to the text is the html tag that opens a new window in which that page will be displayed

insert an image in your message post

if you want to insert an image as part of a post on someone's page, you first need that image to exist somewhere else on the web (so that you can reference it) To find the URL of any image:     1. right click on an image     2. left click on "Properties"      3. you will get a window showing you the URL (unless that function has been deleted) example: scroll down on this page to my own post of 6/26 and you'll find: actually took this snap because the flower image reminded me of  De Feo`s   the message I posted looks like this: actually took this snap because the flower image reminded me of <a href="http://www.fotolog.net/neene/?photo_id=267459">De Feo`s</a><br><IMG src="http://www.meledandri.com/images/misc/flower.jpg"> the text is the html tag that creates the link the text is the URL (address) of the page that you wish to link to the text is the html tag that inserts an image the text is the URL (address) of the image that you wish to place (<br> inserts a line break) I would be respectful of this option and make sure that the images posted in this way are scaled down to a small size so as not to slow down the loading of someone else's page.
