A nice flock of big robust furry Fuzzies have come to us from Rock Falls Illinois! I have a picture and have no idea how to get it into this post. I’ll put it on the Windstone Editions facebook page.
by the way, these fuzzies are a bit heavy (due to their delicious diet) and cannot ride with small light weight items that are going 1st class mail – they put the package into the next weight class! They are going to those who need a little extra Fuzzy Love. :love:
Well, I hotlinked the facebook picture… hehe. So when I clicked the picture on facebook I held down “ctrl” so that it opened in the old type of window rather than the new pop up slideshow window. Then I right clicked it and selected “copy image url” and then posted it here with the image tags.
(without the spaces)
Similarly, if you wanted to do it and not hotlink from facebook, you could upload the photo onto photobucket or another site first. If you put it on photobucket, you would need to get the image url and put it into the code I posted above. I think on photobucket you can also just hit something on the sidebar that says “copy html link” and it gives you the whole code.
hope that was somewhat helpful< I'm not good at explaining things lol
To somewhat expand on what scenceable said, hotlinking is basically stealing bandwidth (the amount of data a website gets to use every month) from the host site. A big site like facebook wont miss the small amount being used here, but hotlinking from, FOR EXAMPLE, the GBY Unicorn Directory, that is a personal site, may be a bit troublesome since every time the picture is viewed, bandwidth is used.
When I had my own site, if someone hotlinked one of my photos, I could see it, and could see the site that was doing it. To be creepy once, I replaced the image with another one with the same name/address that basically said, “I know what you’re doing. Its not nice to steal” lol so that instead of seeing my picture (I think it was some artwork I had done) they saw an all white picture with that text.
Yeah I should have specified… I hotlink from facebook every now and then when I post on livejournal or whatever but you should upload your photos to your own photobucket to post. I don’t hotlink from other sites or other people’s photobuckets 🙂 (plus the links aren’t reliable and tend to disappear right away, it’s better to have your own host so you know the photo will always be there.)
Well of course they did . Halloween is coming . Smart little critters .
And chocolate should be among the major food groups .
