Linking photos

[thinpin]

Anyone care to give me a quick tutorial on how to link/display photos here from Flickr.
Also tips on sizing so I dont blow the page out. Thanks in advance.

[AngryScientist]

easiest way on any photo site is :

right click on the photo - "copy image URL" - then paste it into the image box you see on the toolbar above.

Ah, forgot to mention I'm on a Mac. No right clickity!

[AngryScientist]

in that case, just click the "share" button above the photo, copy that and past it into the image box from the icon above here.

edit - i'm sure there's a quick way to do it on a mac, i just dont use them so i dont know what it is, but the above method will work fine.

Does flickr give you a link for your picture? As in, click the link and it goes to directly to the picture?

Such as:
http://img207.imageshack.us/img207/3685/pb250124.jpg

To embed that image, use IMG tags around the link:

Flickr automatically generates the BBcode for you if you've enable sharing.

Click on the Share button above your photo, and go to Grab the HTML/BBcode, and change the radio button (dot) from HTML to BBcode, and just copy & paste what's in that box.
