How to add pictures and post links - Very simple instructions for now

Question

For a picture:

First, copy the Url. Place an exclamation mark followed by quare brackets followed by parenthesis. Like this:

! [] (url you copied goes here.) No spaces though. Thanks Dani!

! [ ] ( url goes here } NO spaces between Anything.

Paste the url between the parenthesis. That's it.

For a link:

Copy the link address. Then place square brackets followed by parenthesis. Like this:

[] (link address goes here.)

Paste the link address into the parenthesis. Then if you want to add what it is...or give your link a name, type what you want the link to say within the brackets.

Answer 3

Sanlee, there is a typo in your post. You typed:

![}

instead of

![]

You should use square brackets.

Thanks Luis. Good eye....jeje - rac1, Sep 23, 2015

Muchas gracias, Luis! - sanlee, Sep 24, 2015

Answer 4

Here is the link to the thread to find all your formatting needs. Sorry about that, I should have added it. When you click on the link, scroll to the top of the page.

Line breaks, pictures, links and other formatting tricks

You can also troubleshoot if your picture doesn't post. Instructions follow:

Troubleshooting

There may be times when you find that a picture does not post. Many times the reason for this is that the URL address for the picture that you have selected is not formatted in a way in which the editor is able to recognize. If the URL contains any blank spaces, the pic will not post. For example, note the following differences:

Unrecognizable http://www.A picture that you want.gif

Recognizable http://www.A_picture_that_you_want.gif

Recognizable http://www.A+picture+that+you+want.gif

If your picture has blank spaces, you can run it through tinyurl to get a link that will work. :) - bosquederoble, Sep 24, 2015

Yep, I could have added that. Just giving the basics. lol - rac1, Sep 25, 2015

Hi Sandy. I think it's still a problem when they go to post on SD, unless they use the codes for now. :)♥ - rac1, Sep 23, 2015
