    (I expected the images to be visible in the message, not the links. Anyone know what I did wrong?)

    Edit your message and change "URL" to "IMG" in all four places that you'll see it (one at the beginning of each link and one at the end of each link).

    Cones, huh?

    OK. I'll see what I can round up. So to speak.
    What's this button do?

    It already says IMG!!! I followed the directions posted. Clicked on the little yellow icon above. I must have copied the URL wrong. (I'm on a mac and couldn't follow the directions exactly--I had to make some of it up!!)

    You need the full address, all the way down to the "xxxxx.jpg" In smugmug, it'll look something like this: http://kbasa.smugmug.com/photos/2306930-L.jpg

    You won't get it out of the address bar, I don't believe. In Windows, you right click on the image and it'll cough the image location up.

    Well, "fortunately", I'm not on windose, but Mac. I can't figure out how to get the image imbedded. Any fellow mac-aphites who can help me?

    Hi, I'm not a Mac user but I don't think it makes any difference,
    Go into smugmug and click on the picture you want to post, once its opened there will be a button towards the bottom of the page "share with friends, forums" click on it, on the bottom of the page that comes up will be links to the various sizes available. Copy the link for the desired size and then paste it into the image box in DGrin....
    Cheers

    I'm on a Mac...try this: Control-Click on your image and select "Open Image in New Window", then copy the URL from that page and paste it between the IMG tags:

    4060975-M.jpg

    4061005-M.jpg

    You pasted in a link to a html page that contains your image, but you need just the image itself. The secret is to check that your link ends with ".jpg" and not ".htm".

    I use the "medium" sized version of the picture most of the time. Your originals are huge and will kill anybody on dial up. If folks want the original, it's easy to figure out where to find them (just replace the "-M" with "-O" near the end of the URL for the image).

    David:
    I too, am a Mac user and I ran into this problem full and square in the face just over a week ago. As you have found there is no keystroke click on the Mac, especially if you are using Safari or the Mac version of Internet Explorer.
    I did find two solutions:
    One was given by "Baldy" the site owner, and that is the same as you have rec'd,: Go to the "Share with Friends" in the Pull Down list below the opened photo.
    The other was a suggestion from my DaD, Download Mozilla 1.7b for Mac OS 10. I did, and I must say that it has made a great difference. It allows for the Click Drop Down list to appear, with Properties at the bottom, and also allows for more ease of movement within the site. When you preview post, you will get the WYSIWYG right off. With my current dial up, it took me 54 minutes to down load, well worth it.
    Also, if you are still having trouble, go here:
    http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?p=11697
    You'll find the threads on uploading to the site.

    Hope this helps you as much as Sid helped me! Just sorry I came on so late, this morning.
    Bonne Chance!

    I went to town Friday night and they were having a car show. Found an interesting cone. Not a worthy shot but I've got to start with something.

    No dainty pine cones here...
    Nice pics of various Pine Cones, Fir Cones, etc. But they're all so tiny and dainty...here's a shot of a "real" cone. :D

    4074308-M.jpg

    Yes, that's a normal 12-oz Coke can propping it up (and dwarfed by the cone).

    I call that one, "Papa Cone". We already saw a bunch of "Mama Cones" posted. If I can find a Redwood tree, I'll get a pic of "Baby Cone".

    Very nice!
    Fish, I really like the lighting, coloration, saturation and 3-d appearance of this image.
    The light reflection is well placed.
    Nice shot...

    Ginette,

    First off...thanks for the kind words on my image. It's still kinda early in the week, so we will likely see an uptick as it gets closer to the end of the assignment. And that's okay...it's making people think and shoot.

    Cheers,

    This is a lot tougher assignment than last week. I've been busy and cones just don't pop up in front of you every where you turn. I'm struggling to get something I like.
