Technical Update

May 18, 2005 13:28

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm rying to upload some of my photos to deviantart per solraev's suggestion. So I scanned them all in as .TIF files, which I like but are HUGE files. The site won't take them, of course, because I would be uplaoding something like 500MB of photo files. OK. So I go back today and resave all the images as JPEGs ( Read more... )

blogging your flickr photos to your lj petitesoeur May 18 2005, 22:16:50 UTC

log into your flickr account
click on the "Help" link
scroll down to "Blogging" & click on link #28:
"How do I post photos to my blog?"

and there you will find the instructions for connecting your flickr account to your lj account

after you do that you'll be able to send your photos from flickr to lj by clicking on the photo & then on the button "Blog This"

btw you can also setup a picture gallery directly in your lj & post your photos from there

I had figured that stuff out, I was just being finicky because you don't get to format the entry the way you would like from within the Flickr client. Of course, as you have seen, my HTML skills aren't what they should be, so I suppose it really doesn't make that big of a difference...

Oh, this is awesome! Someone told me this was a pay service, so I didn't look into it. Maybe it's free because I already pay for LJ? The only weird thing is that there is no [free] client for the Mac. Oh well, I suppose there will be over time!

Thanks for the tips, looks like I've got some reading to do!

you've got some wonky links in your post my friend

leafofgrass May 19 2005, 01:17:12 UTC

yeah, I forgot the ol' "http://" when I made the links so it was directing you through the LJ serves, where Flickr and Deviantart clearly do not exist. Should be fixed now, though; thanks for the heads-up!

72 dpi is the magic number life_as_art May 19 2005, 07:57:35 UTC

Duh duh duh! Sounds like a job for a graphic designer ( ... )

Helps? This is awesome! leafofgrass May 19 2005, 09:28:30 UTC

Okay, this is great: I feel so ridiculous over the 72dpi thing. I figured a megapixel was 1000dpi, so I scanned in at 900 and I forgot that computer sceens only display a certain number of dpi anyhow. Both of these things should lead my efforts to nothing but success (after a our day exercise in frustration, that is)!

The open in a new window thing is what I was missing. I could link to the page, but couldn't get the photo's individual link and so it would come up as dead HTML. Of course on the mac there is no right click, but I get the point. ;-)

insert the following between two carrots (opening and closing carrots are on the comma and period keys of the keyboard, respectively)

Hey you! I'm not that inept! See those italics? That's HTML skills, yo! I got this carrot stuff down!
