embed code problems

Mikeks

Hey,

I'm having problems just recently changing the size of my photo on my blog post. I'm using blogspot. Up until this morning ( that i know of ) i can't seem to make one of my vertical pic's 1700x1700. The rest of the pictures in the blog have been changed to 900x900 without an issue. I went to the gallery and made sure that i am allowing for the original file size image to be viewed. Saved, copied the code again, posted it to my blog draft changed the size in the two places in the smugmug code i'm supposed to... still hasn't worked. here is the code i'm putting into my draft - <a><img src="http://mikeks.smugmug.com/photos/i-TFMzdj3/0/1700x1700/i-TFMzdj3-1700x1700.jpg"></a&gt;

Also is there anyway that we can get embeded code for blog and forums that don't link back to gallerys... i find adjust the code of every single image that i post really time consuming... and a pain.

Thanks for the help

From what I can tell, the original image just isn't large enough. When I use your code, it returns the original size, which is only 900x1350. If I use 900x900, it scales down. If I use 1300x1300, it scales down. As you probably know, you can't scale up.

You can use the the direct photo link to link without linking to the gallery, but you have to add your own code surrounding the link. Not so bad for forums, a bit more tedious for html. You also don't need the tags unless you're trying to do something special. Those are usually used with 'href' to create a link. I've actually never seen the just used by itself before.

Thanks Samir, i was just able to fix it... 1700x1700 is too large for the image. I ended up using 1400x1400 and that worked.

I don't really know much about html.... i just know how to unlink the url from the pictures. It worked leaving the 's in so i just left it. what should the code be to simply embed the image?

Glad you figured it out. <img src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6029383/emoji/thumb.gif&quot; border="0" alt="" >

The code you need just for the image is what's known as the img tag. This is it right here:
<img src="http://mikeks.smugmug.com/photos/i-TFMzdj3/0/1700x1700/i-TFMzdj3-1700x1700.jpg"&gt;

You just change the url inside that to show an image. You can also use ' instead of the ". Here's a good link to read up on that tag:
