How to: Embed photos and videos into posts

[StarWarsGirl]

How about Picasa?

Google+ allows embedding. I use it for all of my images on here

Okay, I've got to do some serious learning. I'm on (if that's the correct term) Google+ and I have yet to figure things out. I used to be pretty smart - not so much these days.

It's okay. Not an easy site to use really. You go to your photos section, upload your photos, then right click, hit copy, and then paste it into your post.

Can you, and if you can post pictures from your I phone or I pad

Don't feel too bad. I'm still learning it too. Haven't got it right yet.

Yes you can. The instructions at the start of this thread also work on the iPad.

So I just can't upload pics from my cpu's pic folder? I have to sign up for flickr and the other services listed at the start of the thread?

If you upgrade to be a WDWMAGIC Premium Member you can just upload from your computer - see the first post in this thread for how to do that upload. To upgrade you can go to Account Upgrades

If you are not a WDWMAGIC Premium Member you have to upload the images to a third party, and then embed them from there.

I don't get the image link when I click on "Share". I am using the free version of photo bucket. Do I need the pay version for the ability to link to the forum?

In Photobucket, click on the photo that you want to post. You'll see a box on the right that says "Links to share this photo". Click the one that says "IMG" and you'll see it says "copied. Then just paste that into your post (Control-V)

Okay, I can do it on the PC but I can't seem to get it to work from I-Phone. Can I do this with the free photobucket app?

Shookie, they're showing up as thumbnails. Is that what you meant to do?

I have no problem with photos from Smugmug but can't see to be able to embed a video. The best I can do is copy a BBC code and paste it here which shows a picture with a link to smugmug behind it.

Is there a way to embed video from smugmug or is BBC code the best I can do?

Thanks.

I am a newbie to posting photos. For my first post I chose full image, however, the photo appears to be a thumbnail. Not certain what I need to do going forward. Any suggestions?
Thank you.
