With thanks to Raindog, I was able to post some photos of my 'work'... I'm still a

[secondwind]

beginner, but I love every minute of this.

I've posted photo of a periwinkle, a rose, my Christmas card this year, a couple of onions and a baby coconut I found on the beach in the Caribbean this winter, and painted it down there.

Here goes: http://s1056.photobucket.com/albums/t377/mariposa1000/


Thanks, Raindog!!

1. Beautiful work!

Now that you have them in Photobucket, you can easily post them here in your thread!

Just hold your mouse over any of your pictures; a list of choices will show up underneath that picture. DO NOT CLICK ON THE PICTURE. Just hold the mouse there.

Then, choose the second option (direct link) and click on that.

Return to your thread and click. Voila! Your picture will show up! Hit preview and you will see it.

6. Very nice. (TIP: doing thumbnail images with photobucket.)

It's fairly easy to do clickable thumbnail images for photobucket pictures like these:


[div style="display:inline;" title="Click for full size image"]   [div style="display:inline;" title="Click for full size image"]   [div style="display:inline;" title="Click for full size image"]   [div style="display:inline;" title="Click for full size image"]   [div style="display:inline;" title="Click for full size image"]


The thumbnail image at photobucket is the same image address but has 'th_' as a prefix. So the image address and thumbnail image address of the first picture are:

[div style="margin-left:1.5em;"]http://i1056.photobucket.com/albums/t377/mariposa1000/DSCN4255.jpg
http://i1056.photobucket.com/albums/t377/mariposa1000/th_DSCN4255.jpg

So to do a thumbnail image linking to the larger image you can use the following code (using the above image as an example with the changes to the image address highlighted):

[div style="margin-left:1.5em; color:#000099;"][link:http://i1056.photobucket.com/albums/t377/mariposa1000/DSCN4255[font style="background-color:#3366cc; color:#ffffff;"]%2E[/font]jpg|http://i1056.photobucket.com/albums/t377/mariposa1000/[font style="background-color:#3366cc; color:#ffffff;"]th_[/font]DSCN4255.jpg]
So you can see all that is needed is to change the period to '%2E' in the first part of the link tag and add the 'th_' to the beginning of the image filename in the second part of the link tag.

12. Thank you all for your kind words. I am very moved, and it gives me the impetus to

keep on going and get my Certificate. It is hard work but very rewarding for me... Again, thanks to all of your for your support.

I will try and remember to post more work as it comes out.. It takes several weeks to finish a watercolor.

7. Wow! what can I say, except a million thanks! You know, I'm 65 yrs old, and still

consider myself a dinosaur around computers, although I did just buy myself an iPad3 and am loving it! It helps me with my photos of flowers, etc. The pixels are amazing!

DUers are so helpful, I cannot say enough thank you's to all of you!

11. These are lovely; you should start a DU journal and put some links to your work there. n/t
