Here’s a million dollars. No, wait. I’m feeling extra generous: take two million.
Your assignment: Go shopping. Use the money to buy one thing, and one thing only. A special little something for yourself.
The rules: No houses or living quarters. And no cars (let’s save those for future PhotoPhridays). What you buy has to be a complete indulgence for you and you alone. Generosity towards others will not be tolerated. You must spend at least $500,000 or you’re no fun and you might as well go join the unwashed hippies camping out and occupying whatever it is they’re occupying these days.
What are you waiting for? That much money should be burning a hole in your pocket already. Go. Spoil yourself. You’re the 1%. You deserve it.
PhotoPhriday helpful hints and rules:
If you’re using a photo on your hard drive:
You must upload your pic somewhere on the web before you can post it. It has to have a web address beginning with http:// or it just won’t work.
Easy places to do this: imgur or tinypic
Go to the site, select the pic off your hard drive, upload it to the site, copy the direct link the site provides you with and then come back here. Don’t worry about resizing; Crasstalk will automatically do that for you.
Use this magic computer code in the “Post a New Message” box: <img src=” ”> Paste your direct link in between the quote marks, and make sure there are no spaces so that it looks like this: <img src=”http://www.photosite.com/yourphoto.jpg”> Also make sure you use the quotes and the brackets exactly as shown. I hate HTML, but what can I do, rules are rules.
You can also upload your photo to any favorite site that generates a URL for the photo (Facebook, Flickr, etc.) and use the image address provided there.
If you’re using a photo already on the web:
Right click (or ctrl-click on a Mac) on an image and select “View Image” or “Copy Image URL/Location.” Copy-and-paste the URL and use the magic code above.
