Mystery Musician Photo?


If this worked, it's the guy on the left I can't ID. If it didn't, I know what the red X is.

Thanks.

(It didn't work!) Any suggestions?

Re: Mystery Musician Photo?
Really close, bermbits, looks like you just had an extra "http://" at the beginning:

There they are! Wowsers! Thanks!

Okay, who's on the left?

I dunno!

Who are the others, it might help. John Denver on the far right is the only one I recognize.

From right: Denver, Harry Chapin, James Taylor (I think), and ?

Crosby?

Re: Laura Gemser


So, who's the babe in the pic?

bermbits: It's Gordon Lightfoot.



The four performed together in 1977 at a benefit concert at Detroit's Olympia Stadium.

wow, I need this tutorial for some of my stuff. I wanna show pix of my new cat before she leaves to go to college

New Cat???? There's motivation..

That's Gordon Lightfoot?

I knew that wasn't Crosby. Old friend's roommate was a friend of his. Crosby more of a dumpling...

I want to start a thread that would be greatly enhanced by photos. I copied and printed three separate sets of instructions for copying a photo and posting it here. I wanted to be able to read and follow them step by step.

I was unable to do it. If there's something about my computer that is preventing me from doing this, so be it.

If it's me (very likely), I'd like to keep trying until I can do it.

I found a site that had a photo I wanted. I right-clicked on the photo. I selected save as photo and saved it to my desktop. When I tried to insert the photo here, I couldn't find it anywhere in my computer. I tried several different approaches, each time with the same result.

For those of you who helped me with my avatar, you know that I'm close to helpless and hopeless. This is very frustrating.

Hi Roberta,

If you look at your desktop, do you see an icon that might be the picture you saved? perhaps click on all the icons on your desktop. If you find it, you need to put the photo on the internet, before you can post it on the forum here.

So you need to upload it to a host first. I wrote a tutorial voor tinypic, which is easy to use for beginners.

Easy way to post pics

Works for cam-pics, photos or smilies you'd like to post on the forum. Anything jpg, gif, png or bmp.

1. Save pic on hard drive. (In an easy to find folder)
2. Go to http://tinypic.com/
3. Click on the Browse button and go to the pic you want to upload.
4. Double click on the pic or select open
5. Click on the button upload image



6. You will get a notice saying *Successfully Hosted!

You will get 3 options with the url in them.

7. Choose the IMG Link: for forums and bulletin boards option by clicking in the bar once. It will turn blue.



8. Press Crtl C on your keyboard
9. Open the post in the forum
10 Press Ctrl V on your keyboard

Click on preview to see the pic.

Click on Submit.

right-clicking is correct, but all you need is the URL of the image, which can be found in its Properties.

for example:

htp://www.site.com/image.jpg

now all you have to do is add image tags [IMG] [/IMG]:

[b][IMG][/b]htp://www.site.com/image.jpg[b][/IMG][/b]

the image will appear here as long as the site continues to host it.

gwendolen's procedure is for images that are NOT ALREADY hosted on a website, such as images you might receive in an e-mail...

Hi Region Philbis,

That is hotlinking. I think most websites will not be happy if you hotlink to images on their website.

[edit: which is why I explained the tinypic procedure]

really?

the vast majority of images on A2k are hot-linked...

In general, websites which object to hotlinking will at the very least offer a clear request that it not be done, and in a huge, if not preponderant, class, will effectively block it. Far from being opposed to bandwidth demands pursuant to hotlinking, many - not all by any means, but very many - websites appreciate the SEO-boosting effect of the linkbacks and the additional hits that flow therefrom. Sites such as tinypic, photobucket, imageshack, webshots, youtube, etc. etc. etc. are specific examples of such. If folks didn't hotlink graphic content from them, they'd have little reason to exist.

Eh yes. I meant using these sites as hosts for your photos, instead of hotlinking to graphic content on a website that may have limited bandwidth.

Going to google for SEO-boosting effect now.
