Hello Crasstalk. Because of the hustle of the holiday weekend we didn’t have Photo Phriday last week, and since many of you have the day off it might be fun to play. I am going to keep it topical today. Memorial Day Weekend is the start of summer vacation season, let’s share some vacation pictures. This way not only can we engage in our usual overshare, but we might be able to give each other some great vacation ideas.
Here’s one of mine. It is from a manuscript in the Musée national du Moyen Âge in Paris. I am one of those hardcore museum people. I look at everything and read every single description. After about 5 hours on this museum my family was openly threatening to beat me if I didn’t hurry up, but I was in heaven. This pic cracks me up, but I love it because it also reminds me that people 1000 years ago were just like us.
Here are the rules. For those of you who are new, or live in open threads, look here and here are your instructions (taken and modified from earlier PP posts):
- This is the magic computer code you use to make pictures appear:
- <img src=”http://www.photosite.com/yourphoto.jpg” />
- And it’s a URL of a photo, not photo file. Crasstalk doesn’t accept files from your hard drive – only from the Internet. You can upload your photo to Facebook, Flickr, TinyPic, or any other online photo hosting site to generate a URL for the photo. For many of those LOLcats/dogs/monkeys I can’t seem to quit foisting on all of you, I use ImageShack or imgur
- Also, be sure to add a few words of text with your picture so it doesn’t get tripped up in the site’s spam filter.
- To pick up an image online, 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 plug it into the img src html code.
