Some of you may have been wondering how to display and publish pictures on your Townhall blog. While we do not provide image hosting as part of the Townhall blog tool, you can open an account with many of the popular picture hosting services out there, and then display them within your townhall blog posts.
One popular one is
PhotoBucket. Once you have your account, and you have uploaded your image, you will need the image location. For all you non-techies, the image location will start with "http://" and will usually end in ".jpg," ".jpeg," or ".gif."
Step One:Open your browser, login to your Townhall.com account, and go to your "Create New Post" page.
Step Two:Click on
the "
Paste Plain Text" icon
(4th clipboard icon from left to right) and type in
the following HTML:
<img
src="http://www.yourpicturesite.com/
yourpicturefolder/yourpicturefilename.jpg">
Then
hit "ok."
Step Three:Write your blog post, and publish it.
Thats it -- your picture should display in your blog post. You can
then right-click on it and set the properties, etc. before you publish.
So, this is how it would look:
BEWARE: It is considered improper etiquete and unfair to display or publish images that are copywrited, or that are hosted on someone's private host/server. So, make sure you only do this with your own pictures. Of course, you are allowed to display pictures or funnies from the Townhall.com site on your blog pages.
