yup, just right click and copy image URL with Google chrome, or right click and go to properties with IE and copy the URL manually. Quote my reply to see the code.

How to embed videos from Contour Story Teller?

I have a blog and really enjoy posting the content in its entirety on here as well, as a TR. However, I upload higher-res photos to my blog than I would here for obvious reasons and I really want to know if there's an easier way to cross-post them at a lower resolution. Is there some kind of code or something that will allow for that? Or I guess more specifically: Can you specify the height and width of a photo in the image code when you're building the TR?

Wordpress is your friend as it creates your images at different sizes. Take the shot of devils tower as an example. If you use the URL for the post image (the smaller image before the jump to the full-res image), you can simply put that up ... no extra work required!

Code:

[img]http://mtsplitski.files.wordpress.com/2012/11/img_0787_edited-1.jpg?w=584&h=328[/img]

Which displays:

As you can see, the image size is displayed in the URL. This doesn't resize the full-res image but points to the smaller one stored on the wordpress servers.

[update]: You can take this one step further and link to the large image the same way the blog does.

Code:

[url=http://mtsplitski.files.wordpress.com/2012/11/img_0787_edited-1.jpg][img]http://mtsplitski.files.wordpress.com/2012/11/img_0787_edited-1.jpg?w=584&h=328[/img][/url]

This will load the smaller image in the forum and clicking it will load the large image on your wordpress site.

Hope this helps!

embedding YouTube videos. Anyone?

Grab the video ID from the URL and put it between the BBCode youtube tags. So if the URL is:

Code:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75qILqf2eeE

Then copy the bit 75qILqf2eeE and paste between the tags like this:

Code:

[youtube]75qILqf2eeE[/youtube]

Results in:

Example from my Flickr page and a photo from climbing Mt Stuart:
Go here to see the picture: http://flickr.com/photos/25106500@N06/2918369519/
The pictures URL is then: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3200/291 ... 6c.jpg?v=0

why is the original picture address different than the URL? I'm trying the post pics from flicker but :banghead:
