Community Pictures & Video Tutorial!

(Oh, the things we could teach him!)

(Written by Jenny, simply posted by me, but we had the same thought at the same moment which has been apt to happen!)

In addition to discovering what an interesting, thoughtful, friendly and well-read group of people you are in our community friending meme (which is still open!), we have noticed something distressing! A lot of you don't know how to post pictures of, for example, Mesut's belly (or knees) into comments, and are unsure of how to go about it! Also: YouTube videos!

So here is a quick tutorial brought to you by Suzanne and Jenny so that we can have as many belly!spams as we want! (Please, please, please...)

If you want to post a picture in our community in a post we suggest the following:

1. Get yourself an imageshack or photobucket account. (If you need help with photobucket just ask...)
2. Upload the picture into your account.
3. Copy the new url for the picture (the "direct link" option in photobucket)
4. Head off to the comments and follow the directions in the following screen captures:


First type <img src=""> into your comment:




Then paste the url for your picture between the quotation marks:






Hit "post comment" and Mesut's belly will miraculously appear! (IT'S A MIRACLE!)

(Now that's what I'm talking about!)

For YouTube videos.

Beneath each video you can click on "Share" - "Embed" - Select "old embed code" like so:









Then post the code directly into the comment (no other code required):







Hit "post comment" and you are set to go!


New members are encouraged to practice in the comments to this post! (Do I need to beg?)

Love, Jenny and Suzanne!

(And I'll be checking to see if you're marked as spam when you do so, which may likely happen to new members. If so, I'll unspam you and you should do a couple of things: joi notaspammer and friend Jenny and I! Basically LJ thinks you're a spammer if you're posting links and have no friends. So don't be shy!)

I'll go first with a quick story...

On a very part-time basis I get paid to test websites. They record my actions on the screen and my voice as I talk about what I'm seeing, doing, thinking, etc. One day I got a test for the new prototype of photobucket and without thinking I accepted it! Within seconds of pushing "record" I regretted it. My opening page showed this:



That big image is a gif of Giroud blowing a kiss to the camera. As I followed their instructions (because you have to do EXACTLY what they say) I found myself in my library of photos with my half-naked pics of Mesut and I specifically remember Giroud bopping around in just a towel. I COULD NOT contain myself from laughing hysterically as I tried to talk about the site somewhat professionally. I was mortified! But the good news is... They asked for me specifically for a second test! I guess they liked what they saw!

Excellent! Glad it worked. What a cute pic! (I like the shirt)

LOL Okay, this explains much. While I, of course, appreciate gratuitous Özil pics at random, I was somewhat puzzled when you posted that Özil belly shot without promp in my previous post.
Nice of you guys to do this :)

[jenny-jenkins.livejournal.com]

Indeed! I considered erasing it, but we can never have too much Nutella!Belly.

Thanks for the tutorial!

Just wanted to mention that you don't necessarily need to open another account - you can upload a photo to your LJ account and paste it into a "private" post, then copy the html code and paste it into your comment.

[jenny-jenkins.livejournal.com]

An excellent point!

And for comments we aren't particularly picky - only entries.

But of course, it's best for comments too since it means the pictures stay forever!

[suzanne410.livejournal.com]

Yes! And I do this sometimes for pictures that are extra-large. It's a good way to resize them for comments.
