request help from wordpress bloggers Link to pictures
petro   Intermediate FRANCE Member since 6/24/07 Posts: 2202	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 3/4/12 3:08 AM I've just started a blog, and thought it would be useful to dump all those extra pictures which 'belong' in reviews. I used to try to have all my pictures linked on flickr, but then unintentionally deleted some which linked to reviews when making more space in my flickr account. So, I thought I'd use the blog and link for the extra pictures. Reading a thread in the Pattern review section, I noticed that quite a few people found it irritating to find themselves taken to a blog to look at the pictures, especially if they had to scroll to find them. Is there a way of getting a link to the image in the blog, so that anyone clicking on the link in PR gets to the image and not to a page of my surrounding waffle? ------ so many patterns, clamouring to be sewn http://patternpandemonium.wordpress.com/

Just upload your picture to your blog, then navigate to it in "Media" and find direct link to the picture. Post this link in PR review, people will see a picture alone, no blog post ------ www.thesewingspace.com

Like this (I hope!): blog picture If I right click and use "copy link location" instead, it comes out like this: blog picture which is nice because you get the full size of the photo. You should be able to click on "copy image" and paste it into the "image" button but I can't seem to do that right now. Maybe my computer and I need more coffee first. -- Edited on 3/4/12 10:55 AM -- ------ http://bgballroom.wordpress.com to follow the progress on my next ballgown.

Granted, I never go back to find pictures. Like everything else, I need to do some upkeep to all my links, blog and pictures.

SewDucky, that's the problem with photo sites, I have made links to mine, then forgotten I linked to he photos and ditched them. PR storage isn't enough to keep them either. ------ so many patterns, clamouring to be sewn http://patternpandemonium.wordpress.com/
