Wed Oct 28 2009


Got all my pictures transferred to the computer. Now all I have do is go thru 30 gazillion pictures, delete the under- and over-exposed, and then sort, and then figure out how to get a few of them to DD. Do I have to put them on Hami-Piks first? I think so. Somebody want to tell me the next step?



I still need to find my mini-diary notes so I can put pictures to events.



Some of the very best pictures of My Baby got lost because the camera malfunctioned. Which is why I have a new Canon. As soon as I get over this laryngitis, I'll plan a trip to Santa Rosa and get some good pictures to post.



And I have some nice pictures of my patio, where I spent a good deal of time during the nice weather.



Th-th-th-at's all for now.



 



 



Bless

    That's a big job.
    I have over 400 on my memory card and need to take a trip to Wal-Mart to get them made into pictures.
    Yikes! That is gonna take me awhile.
    Hugs, Tiggs

    RYC - Yes, but it is more expensive that way.

    You'll have to upload the pictures to HamiPiks or some other web picture storage place first, just as you suspect. When you upload them, they'll be assigned a URL, just like any other web page.

    To get the picture to show on your diary, you need to use html code in your entry. It's pretty straightforward. If up upload to HamiPiks it even gives you the source after you've uploaded. The last picture I posted in my diary (today) used this code:

    <IMG width="528" height="297" SRC="http://www.hamipiks.com/showPic.php/12117/BottleGentianResize.JPG"> (BottleGentianResize is the name I gave my picture.)

    A couple of things to know:

    - HamiPiks puts the width and height in, but you don't need those. <IMG SRC="http://www.hamipiks.com/showPic.php/12117/BottleGentianResize.JPG"> works just as well.

    - Make sure your picture displays at the right size before you upload it. If you upload a gigantic picture it will take forever for someone looking at your diary to load, and it will also take up the entire screen. If you have picture software on your computer you can resize a picture pretty easily. Just use the help function in the program to get started if you aren't familiar with how to do it. And make sure you resize a copy of the picture, NOT the original. That way if you make a mistake you can always make another copy of the original and start over.

    - If you don't have the software to resize, or can't figure out how to do it, there is another way to make the display resize by using the width and height parts of the html code I showed you above. It isn't the best way to do it, but it works. Feel free to drop me a line if you need more details about that.
