myspace tutorial: posting an image

Posted in tutorials by bpweiss on the January 19th, 2006

So, you’ve found a picture you like and want to share it with your friends on myspace. If it’s on your computer already, great. If it’s from a website, right click it and select “Save picture as” to save it to your computer.

To host the image go to: http://www.imageshack.us/

There is no need to sign up for an account if you plan to use the image only once, but if you’d like access to it later an ImageShack account will keep track off all of your uploads for you.

If the picture is on your computer make sure the “file” button is selected and click “browse”. In the box that pops up find your picture and click it.

click “host it”

Imageshack generates a lot of different codes you can just copy and past depending on what you want to do with the picture.

For example, If you wanted to show the whole image in a comment on someone’s Myspace profile you would choose the code from “Hotlink for Websites”.

Find the one you need. Copy the code by highlighting it, right-clicking and selecting “copy,”

Then, when you go to add the comment you would right-click again, select “paste” and the code would show up. You can also paste the code into you’re “about me” section of your profile if you’d rather do that.

If everything worked you could see the image in the preview of your comment, but sometimes it takes a minute before the image is available from Imageshack.

If Imageshack isn’t working for you a simular website can be found here: http://www.pictiger.com
