[Advice] Click to enlarge on Tip.it blogs

[RichardG]

Hey guys I've been reading through the blogs here and I wanted to give you all some tips on how to

show images nicely. Also for people using imageshack etc this method ensures that your link never dies.

 

Ok on to how to do it =]

 

First of all this method requires you to have a Dropbox account.

Get it! It's a brilliant program for backing up files and sharing. And it can be accessed from any device

anywhere O.O

 

Ok once you have an account download it for your computer and install it. Now by default when

your pc starts up you have the dropbox icon on your taskbar.

 

It's better to use thumbnails (smaller versions of your picture) at first and then once it's clicked

the larger image shows up. So I'm assuming you've got the large image and the smaller image.

 

Open your Dropbox folder on your computer and drag the images into the Public folder.

You have to wait for the little green tick to show you when it's finished synchronising. ^^

 

Ok so now you've got Dropbox and the images are in place. To get the URL for the images you have to:

 

Right click on the image >> Dropbox >> Copy Public Link

 

Ta da you now have the link of the image :D

 

 

 

Now to use it in your blogs you need to use this code:

 

[url="Large Image URL here"][img=Thumbnail URL here][/url]

 

Here's an example (click the image):

@blade i think everyone has an opinion :) also it doesnt give a popup window

[la la la]

OR just remove the link from stupid swiftkit screenshots so I don't have to "Click to Enlarge" and go to the SWITFKIT WEBSITE
