Help with adding pictures to my Moveable Type Library

May 6, 2009, 1:35AM

Friends:

I want to be able to enhance my posts with pictures - but am finding my brain somewhat empty when it comes to making this happen.

Can anyone give me a quick tip on how to get pictures uploaded into my moveable type library so I can then put them into my posts - or direct me to a walkthrough link?

Thank You !

Reverend Ezekiel

TPM does not provide their bloggers with disk space for graphics files. They must be remote-loaded from a different server. Additionally, media files can only be placed in the original blog posts. Comments to blogs have a very small, limited set of html tags enabled.

There are many free image hosting services available on the web. You need to decide which of them are best for your needs. If you desire to keep complete copyrights to your created images, carefully read the services' TOS. If you are one who prefers to stay somewhat anonymous on the net, read the privacy statements; often they pretty much state they will use any and all personally identifiable information you offer up, anyway they are able to derive income from it. It's a good reason to create an extra free web email account.

Once you have chosen a free image hosting service, most will give you the html code for posting any uploaded graphics files, so that part should be easy.

One other consideration you should make is that TPM is laid-out with a fixed width, and the maximim width for agraphics file in a user's blog is around 430px.

Politics Progressive. I'd say liberal - but I just hate the god damned lazy hippies so much. Do you need to stink on top of being a drain on society? Jesus. But I'd literally take hanging out with a bunch of hippies every day - drenched in petrulie oil (we know it's to cover up the fact you don't use deoderant) than have to listen to the bile being spewed out of the mouths of the idiot neo-cons. And I'd listen to a neo-con talk about how we need to go to war with canada to protect ourselves from their metric system all day than have to watch a conservative Christian raise his arms during church and start pretending to talk to god by speaking in tongues, then having a fucking fake seizure and falling to the ground.

Bio

I'm a pretty (OK, very) vocal critic of the Bush administration I figure I can still talk about them until they are either brought to justice, or until our Country has wiped the stain of blood and shame away. I have an equal distaste for the Christian right wing, and for the right wing talkers that permeate the airwaves like vermin or cockroaches.
