Higi's Drunken Scrapings

Pages: 1 18 replies

Carved from Walnut (the browner ones) and Mahogony. I call #2 Frank, wanted a mug out of BOT and it was on ebay, went for over $500 so I carved my own, not as nice but it will have to hold me. That one and the "Godfather" #3 are drilled for use as valve covers on a Tiki Cruiser, the others are drilled to be amulets, all just a couple inches tall. They are drying right now awaiting polyethelene(sp), I am a newbie and always mess up the finish so I'd thought I'd get a picture first.

Open your Pic on Shuterfly.
Right click on it and go to the bottom and click "Properties"
In the middle area there is an "Address(URL)".
Right click that and choose "select all" which hilites the whole address.
Now right click the hilighted address and choose "copy".
Now go back to your post and before you insert the image you just copied, type in" ![]( " without the"". Now right click right past the [img]and choose "Past". you will see that address from shutterfly on the screen. Now typt")" minus the quotation marks and you have embedded your image. just scan it over to make sure your brackets are going the right way and I'll wait for the Picture.If this does'nt help see "Uploading and embedding images in the help file for more help. Hope it works for you.Those letters to type in art

Mc Dougall,

  1. View your picture on Shutterfly (or whatever website the picture is uploaded to).
  2. Use your mouse and "right click" your pic.
  3. A menu will open. Choose properties (left click).
  4. A properties box will open. There will be a web address (a URL, starting "with http://") to that specific pic.
  5. Right-click on the URL and choose "Select all", or triple-click it.
  6. Right-click on the selected URL and choose "Copy".

Step three. Embedding

To embed the graphic within your message, just paste the URL of the graphic image as shown and include the BBcode around it, like in the following example (BBCode is in red).


In the example above, the BBCode automatically makes the graphic visible in your message. Note: the "http://" part of the URL is REQUIRED for the [img] code.

I dont see what is in your X's. The part I can't figure out. The help file says
(BBcode is in red)
Then:

are listed in red with url in between.
What are ? Do I just type that in? What is BBcode? I have the html for the picture and have cut and pasted it no problem...
My head hurts.

Ack!

Open any post with a successful photo in it. Hit the edit button. Copy the ![](stuff and replace what's between that and the ) with your photo's url.

McDougal, edit your first post, not adding more. You must put square brackets around img and then the http stuff and the /img in square brackets after the image url.

McDougall, That is finally a good picture. Those are some Interesting looking Tikis, seriously, keep it up,I think you "Got a Knack" for it.
Now I gotta help jungletrader with that 6 ft sandwich..


Tony Montana was carved from a 20x10x2 inch piece of knotted, mottled Walnut. Was fun watching the really cool grain patterns come out even if the Tiki came out so so and I messed up the finish...again. I left the back of it as I found it, all mangled, and like the contrast between it and the finished side.

Damn, the scale on the first ones really threw me.
