Insert image into myspace and in comments
Posted by Orlick on 3/7/07
My post on inserting a video into myspace has become very popular already. There is obviously a need for info on basic myspace pimping. I thought I should do another to help blog on that. How do I put a picture into myspace?
First you need to find the URL location of the image. Every picture you see on the internet has a location where the picture resides. You must get the address of the image. If you are having trouble getting the address, try right-clicking on the image and clicking properties, then copying the address from the box that pops up.
Now, place that address (URL) where the Xs are:
<img src=XXXXXXXX>
Will look like this
<img src=http://orlickenterprise.com/images/magik!.jpg>
Copy and paste that where you want the image to appear – in myspace or wherever.
Next step -> If you want people to get linked back to your site or another site when they click on your image, insert this code instead:
<a href=”XXXsite to link back toXXX”><img src=”XXX URL of imageXXX”></a>

Yeah, that this info is really good. I wrote a similar tutorial centered on the Mac point of view: http://homepage.mac.com/eilsel/tutorials/MySpace/post_image/post_image.html
HOWEVER it is not a good honest cool happy thing to “hot link” images from another website. If you ask permission from the site you find the groovy image you want to post on MySpace, and if they say “YEAH, sure”, AND you credit the photographer/site/artist POST the image. Polish your halo- you deserve it!
Images you post should be hosted somehow by you- not someone else’s server. Cyber Pirates stealing bandwidth suck.

How do you do this for a photo that is in my own myspace photo section? I want to post it in a comment elsewhere, and it doesn’t work. From what view of the photo should I capture the url?

HTML is ugly. It… gets under my fingernails and it takes hours to wash it away. But, like the earth in my garden, once I massage HTML properly, water it a little, add the right seeds, it grows a crop that’s pleasant to see and eat from.
I suppose this is why I much prefer MySpace to FaceBook. I like to till my own HTML.
