Lemmings of the Light

When you have a picture you want to share, please always make sure it is a jpg picture. This will enable the website to make a thumbnail of your picture. Also, please make sure the size is considerate of our bandwidth As nothing under the sun is free! For example, a picture size of 800x600 pixels can be considered 'large', anything above is not recommended for upload. If you'd like another measure, try to keep your picture below the 100-150 kilobyte filesize.

Now. How do you upload a picture?
Go to create content - image and upload a picture. If you'd like the picture and your text to be shown on the front page, go to 'publishing options' and tick the box before 'promoted to frontpage'. This will upload your picture and make a post on the frontpage, which shows your text and a thumbnail of your picture.
If you don't tick the box before frontpage, the picture will simply go into the image gallery of your choice and the post will not be made to the frontpage. This goes for all content types!

If you want to add multiple pictures to your post, you can create the type of content you prefer (frontpage article or blog entry). You'll need to go to 'input format', and tick 'full html'. Then you can add html links to pictures you hosted elsewhere or on the Lemmings website by adding the following HTML in your post:

<a href="LOCATION OF THE FULL-SIZE IMAGE"><img src="LOCATION OF THE THUMBNAIL"></a>

Note:To post a picture in our forums, place a picture url between [img] and [/img].

You can find the location of the thumbnail image by going to the image gallery, for example Wallpaper worthy, and right-clicking the image of your picture. Go to properties and there you will find the address of the picture. Copy-paste it into the bit with caps "LOCATION OF THE THUMBNAIL", completely replacing that bit.
Then, click on the picture and copy the url of the page that the image is shown on, and paste that in the 'LOCATION OF THE FULL-SIZE IMAGE" bit. Like this:

<a href="http://www.lemmings-of-the-light.net/?q=node/438"><img src="http://www.lemmings-of-the-light.net/files/images/Paladin_small.gifquot;></a>

This will turn into:

There! You've created a thumbnail in a normal post, by using HTML

If you have your own webspace of your internet provider, it would be very helpful if you would upload your picture on there. You can then choose to make a thumbnail on your own webspace and link to that, as above, or you can just link to the picture by linking like this:

See my picture <a href="http://www.lemmings-of-the-light.net/?q=node/438">here</a>
