How to Inserting Images?

 It appears that Keni and hyak were able to successfully insert my photos from my Webshots site, so not sure if it's really a blocking problem.

<br>Hyak and Keni's photos do not show up for me, nor anyone else that has not been to Webshots recently. Webshots blocking system is implemented such that if you've been there recently and gotten a cookie from them (or if you hack your browser to forge a cookie ), you can see photos -- otherwise you can't. <br><br>Come to this site with another browser and you will not see those photos.

Thanks for the explanation of the mysterious. I was successful in getting a link from my comcast homepage to work, finally! Same procedure as before, so not sure what was different.<br><br>You might check it out (new thread above) and let me know if it works for you.<br><br>Thanks again....

Paul, your image in the other thread works fine but it's HUGGEEEEE. If you're using Windows XP, MS makes a very handy and easy to use "PowerToy" utility for resizing images:<br> download.microsoft.com/download/whistler...zerPowertoySetup.exe

Once you install it, just right-click on any image and you can resize them.

Now if I could just get that PowerToy to work on Windows 2003 . . .

It'll even let you do fine rotations, batch resizes, batch renames, etc, etc. I love it.

Yea, from my home PC I do not see the photo I had posted earlier. I use my personal website to link to for my photo's as I've found (as already stated from others) most public sites do not allow linking... <br><br>Maybe consider getting yourself your own website (they are pretty cheap), then you can upload and link or do whatever you want with your photo's. You can get your own domain name, webspace and such for around $80 a year (more or less depending on host and what frills you want with it). Just a thought.....<br><br>

hyak.net has a good suggestion. It looks like there are plenty of web hosts with really cheap basic plans, under $5 per month. You can often get free domain name registration as long as you are with the host (but make sure that they register the domain in your name, not theirs). Such a hosting plan would have plenty of space for lots of jpegs, and shouldn't have the hot linking blocking problem of some of the free photo sites. You most likely would also get email accounts, which would give you total control over your email (eg set up disposable accounts to use for online stuff, then delete the account when it starts getting too much junk).<br><br>The other option is to just use the "web space" or "personal web pages" that come with your ISP account. Most of these have plenty of space, unless you are posting a lot of movies. If all you need is an internet-accessible server on which to put your photos, this would probably work fine.
