Putting Images on your Homepage

[ImHisServant]

This is the code that you will use to post a picture on your homepage.

First you will need the url for the image, either linked from another site, or uploaded from your own host. if you dont have a host, you can try some of the free hosting sites:

Image Shack (http://www.imageshack.us/)
Image Host (http://www.imagehost.org/)
Photobucket (http://www.photobucket.com/)
Image Station (http://www.imagestation.com/)


to display just the image as is:
<img src="url_of_image">


to specify a width and height (in pixels):
<img src="url_of_image" height="20px" width="20px">

Ok, I tried photo bucket but they asked nosy information.

[mindalan]

By posting a picture on your page, do you mean as a background or as its own item, below all the page information.

A flat color is a different tag. The simpler way to do it on CF is to type in the hex code for whichever grey you want to use in the "MyCF Homepage Background Color" box on your Profile page. A good reference for color hex codes, particularly greys, is here. (http://www.davesite.com/webstation/html/hexchart.shtml)

You can also add an attachment of a picture from your own computer or you can Google one and added by clicking on "manage attachments" at the end of any post, and uploading that picture. Then, once it's posted, you can right click on it and open it on another page. And there's your link. Copy and past that link to your C.F. homepage either background or table where it asks for a link, and wha la.

I didn't go to school to learn computer programming or codes. But, there's always a way to get around that. :thumbsup: (thank God he gave me a brain that can figure things out...or I would be at a loss.)

Can someone please tell me what to do to get small images one below the another instead of the same row?

Add a <p> tag after each image tag...that will give you a return space between

like this.



If you want to add more that one return space, add more paragragh tags...<p><p><p>, etc.

OR

You can add this tag :

<pre>




</pre>

and you'll get however many return spaces are between the two tags. :scratch: Actually, I'm not sure if that '/' is necessary on that last tag, but I think it works either way.

Many thanks!

Now I am proud of my html section.

[Tarika]

Thank you sooo much, Heather! You are a big help :hug:

[stealingheaven]

:confused: I'm confused and don't know if I'm looking for help in the right places so please forgive me if I'm asking something obvious, but how do I get images on my Homepage beneath my signature? I've noticed other peoples homepages have loads of images beneath where their signature ends, how do I do this? Again I'm sorry if I'm asking something that should be obvious to me :blush:

[dianne050]

trying something!

[tamlis]

Can anyone answer stealingheavens question? I would like to know too. Thanks

[HeatherJay]

Go to your control panel.

Over on the left hand side, click on the link that says "Edit My CF HTML Section."

Once there you use the image tags to put your pics in the big empty space...something like this :

to display just the image as is:

<img src="url_of_image">


Where it says 'url of image', you would need to replace that with the link to your picture.

Thanks for the help!

[heatherq17]

Thanks that helped me too!!:clap:

[angellady]

I need your help how many blessing do you have to have to do a background or images I'm not sure what to do.

[TheSerenityPrayer]

I got what I was looking for! Thanks!

[JolieHeart]

Great info, thank you all :)

[prayergal]

I tried going to these sites to get pictures and it's just too complicated for me, I guess. I'm happy with the colors and stuff I picked but I'd like a picture. I just don't understand how to get the url. So I guess I'll just not worry about it.

[Angel4Truth]

Hi prayergal , you can upload your pic right here at foru also - just go to the main page , click on the forum in the support area called "testing" make a thread and then upload your graphics in your post in your own thread. Then after you have done that and they are posted , click the thumbnail to get the adress where foru stored your graphic and that is your img adress (url)

[cyberwing]

Question,
When Erwin changed things all my graphics and backgrounds were lost from the page. I don't understand where they went. They are still on my gallery page at the same link...?? Do I have to spend blessings to redo my page because they got washed away by whatever Foru.ms did?
Thanks for your response.

[Angel4Truth]

Cyberwing , go to your html page code and change the portions of your img adresses from christianforums to foru.ms instead - thats what i did and it worked

[cyberwing]

It was what was wrong but I guess because my work has been up so long I had more to change in the address. Thanks for the tip that led me to the problem! Father bless you Angel4Truth!
