Question

How do I pute more than one picture on my blog entries on 360?

Answer 1

There are 3 ways to do it.

NOTE: The following methods require that your image is hosted via an online hosting service like Flickr (http://flickr.com ), Fileden (http://www.fileden.com ), and Photobucket (http://photobucket.com/ ):

1) Check out the 360 team post on dragging & dropping photos into blogs: http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-1qCkw2Eha...

* This method allows many photos to be used in an entry, with your choice in placement. Make sure that you are using an image that's on it's own page (not on a page that is shared with others). So click on the image and get to that image's full detail page (likely the largest view of the picture, not the thumbnail).

2) Copy and paste an absolute URL for the image (which looks http://www.domainname.com/nameoffile.gif or .jpg....something similar to that) into a blog entry.

- Check the box next "View HTML source" box (on the upper right of your entry's space).

- Type in the HTML code:

<img src="URL of image" height="# of pixels" width="# of pixels">

NOTE: With Flickr, just use the block of code above the pic's URL that they tell you to use...wouldn't want to violate their guidelines.

- Uncheck the "View HTML source" box to get back to the regular blog screen.

WARNING: Do not save your entry with out adding some text.

- Click "Save"

* This method allows you to use any formatted image as long as it's hosted on an online server and not only your hard drive. Check each service for their list of accepted file types before choosing one.

3) SLIDESHOWS:

Create slideshows to embed in a blog entry and then choose to highlight the entry to make it appear on the top right side of your blog (if you like). I use slide.com and use photos from my hard drive for this service.  Other slideshow services: rockyou.com, photobucket.com, picasa.google.com :

- Find the embed code for the album that you want to add.

- Click on "My Blog" and create a new entry.

- Type some text in the actual entry space as well, as it might not save.

- Click the box next to "View HTML source" in the upper right of the entry space before adding code.

- Copy the embed code and paste it into the space.

- Click "Show Options" link at the bottom of the entry and click the highlight option.

- Click the box next to "View HTML source" to get back to regular view if necessary. It may not show up until the entry is Previewed or Saved.

- Click "Save" button and see if it appears.
