Posting pictures - Flickr

[I'm BLUE]

GOAL: ---This is a "How to" post pictures on Ratsun using Flickr.

If you are a new member or new to posting pictures ... or simply intimidated of going through this process .... please be aware this is really quite easy to do as it becomes easy fairly quickly.

 

Alright. Flickr is a free alternative to photo-bucket , and I've not looked back since switching from photo-bucket.

If either service works for you... great use it .. doesn't matter as long as it works for you or does what you wish it to.

:)

 

(1) - Sign up and open an account with Flickr.

(2) - At the home/main screen click the upload button

(9) - In the top right corner of the "Photostream" gallery screen is this button. Notice the links it allows to share to various social media crap places.

(10) - Alright in the top left corner of the same screen we're going to click on this photo (circled green).

(11) - Once clicked ... this is the photo/screen that you'll see next.

(12) - The next thing we want to do is be able to share/post via this site or another car enthusiast site. To do that look at the bottom right corner of the screen and click the button with the green arrow pointing at it. (circled green).

(13) - Once clicked this is what pops up next in the bottom right corner. The red arrow is what we DON'T WANT TO CLICK or use  :)  . Instead click the bar indicated by the green arrow that says "Grab the HTML/BBCode"

12 by 71240z, on Flickr

(14) -  Just to be clear on step-13 above ^^^ ... "Grab the HTML/BBCode" is highlighted in the blue bar... and is the one you want to click :)

13 by 71240z, on Flickr

(15) - Next once the bar is clicked. This is what you'll see on the bottom right corner of the screen. We want to select the button that is indicated "BBCode"
as shown by the green arrow and green circle.

(16) - Next we can choose the size of the picture we want to post on the site. I use Medium 800x500 , so that the picture isn't cut off.

It's also not necessary from my observations to have to post a "Original or Large" size picture when it was taken in high definition.

Mostly a personal preference , so play with it as you please.

(17) - Next just double click or highlight all of the code in the box indicated by the green arrow then right click and select COPY.

(19) - Now go to your automotive enthusiasts website and right click then select PASTE. (Note: no need to hit the IMG button before pasting , just paste the link you copied naked into the box by itself ... it'll all work perfectly.)

(20) - If everything checks out ... you can preview the picture before posting it ..... the hit Submit once ready.

19 by 71240z, on Flickr

(21) - Final result. No part of the picture cutoff although granted it is a little smaller  :lol:  :D

That's the end of that easy peezy , and is a pretty basic layout.

Can't get the picture to show the first time ? no sweat .. no worries ... try again as it's usually something small :)
Rinse and repeat.

 

Thanks for looking.
