Photos? Who's got the photos?

Having recently struggled to post pictures I can commiserate. I think I've figured it out so I'll try to share the magic:

  1. You need to get the URL for the picture (thing I didn't grasp at first).
  2. you need the code to insert the image into your ET post.

For step one the revised ET New user guide now  gives detailed instructions:

Getting the URL of an image you see on some webpage goes as follows:

    * If you use Firefox, just right-click the image itself, and you shall see an option "Copy image URL" - choose that, then move over to the window where you edit your EuroTrib diary or comment. Once there, Edit > Paste the copied URL into the text of your comment.
    * If you use Microsoft Explorer, also right-click the image, choose "Properties", and you shall see a pop-up window with various data, among them the URL. Mark it with your mouse (all of it if there is a line wrap!), then right-click it and choose "Copy". Move over to the window where you edit your EuroTrib diary or comment, and Edit > Paste the copied URL into the text of your comment.

For example, I went to the following site where you have a picture of Ségolène:
http://www.assemblee-nationale.fr/12/tribun/fiches_id/2650.asp
Once on the site I right clicked on the picture and got a menu that includes "copy image location" I just selected that and then came back here and pasted the URL here:
http://www.assemblee-nationale.fr/tribun/photos/2650.jpg

For step #2 I used one of the three versions mentioned in the New User Guide: http://www.eurotrib.com/special/new_user_guide#howpic

I cut & pasted this together:
< img src="http://www.assemblee-nationale.fr/tribun/photos/2650.jpg">

and deleted the space so there is no space before img

result - et voilà!

I hope this helps.

Many Thanks Alexandra, this is so nice of you to have taken the time to help me.
I really did need someone to help me through the instruction of the new user guide. I will try and exercise myself.
BTW, I am looking fwd to seeing your seven by seven selection.
