Hey Crassholes! I’m happy to announce that starting today I will be hosting PhotoPhridays from here to eternity, or as long as I can come up with ideas, whichever comes first.
Your assignment today: Your beloved junk drawer, repository for so many of life’s essentials. I’ve never met anyone who didn’t have a junk drawer. I don’t know how anyone could survive without one.
Instructions: 1) Open drawer 2) Take pic 3) Upload it to the net somewhere 4) Post it here 5) Explain yourself
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.
And please, I need your help: Since PhotoPhriday originally was a rotation kind of thing, I’m happy to take suggestions as to other ways in which we can all expose ourselves. In fact, I’m hoping for suggestions. Email me at BadKarma.crasstalk at gmail.com
