Oops - sorry - forgot to put my blog in my intro post: http://fuguestateknits.blogspot.com/
DOH!
Have a good day, everyone!

I'm bumping this post from Nov '06 up to 2008 for anybody who has problems uploading photos to blogger. If this doesn't help, email me and I'll see what I can come up with. Thanks..Bernie

Here's a scenario to explain how to upload the Knit1BlogToo Button on to Blogger from your PC.

Create a new post in Blogger.

Click on the 'Add Image' button.

When the 'Add an image from your computer' dialogue box opens, select BROWSE.


This will open up a folder on your PC so you can retrieve the picture you want.


Choose how you want the picture to be aligned in the post** by choosing a layout.

When the picture is uploaded, this is the HTML that will appear on your post:

<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7556/2731/1600/knit1blogtoo%20button%20re%20tutorial.0.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7556/2731/320/knit1blogtoo%20button%20re%20tutorial.0.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>

And this is the picture:



**To set the alignment of the picture or CHOOSE A LAYOUT, i.e. place it to the left, to the right, or in the center, you need to do this when you select the file to upload. The bottom of the dialogue box gives you the option to select the formatting you want:

NONE
LEFT
CENTER
RIGHT

If you select NONE, the picture will be plonked in the top left hand corner of your post and any text that you add to the post will simply start where the picture ends.

If you select LEFT, the picture will be aligned to the lefthand side of your post and any text you add will wrap around the picture on the right.

If you select CENTER, the picture will be aligned in the center top of the post.

If you select RIGHT, the picture will be aligned to the righthand side of your post and any text you type will wrap around the picture on the left.

To add a link to this picture, see How to: Add a link to a button or photo
Don't forget to check out Blogger Help and/or Blogger Help Group on Google for further information.

Further to my previous messages concerning new memberships to the ring. The ring will remain closed to new members for the forseable future. I will review this in the New Year. Many thanks for your understanding.

I have closed the knit1blogtoo netring temporarily to new members. If anyone joins while the ring is closed, their details will automatically be deleted from the queue.

Please check back again in November 2007 for details. I will re-open the ring for new members at short intervals over the coming months.

Current memberships are not affected, and members will still be able to navigate throughout the ring as normal.

Thanks as always! Bernie

Some of my blogger buddies say that my pictures won't load for them to view. When I view my blog the pictures appear fine. When I look at the html code, this script appears before the picture codes:

onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"

does anyone know what this means?

thanks! deborah

I was adding a new project to my progress bars and somehow deleted whatever command it is to show the bar and percentage itself. Then I thought, well while I'm trying to fix it, I'd really rather have those cute images of what the project is rather than the bar... so of course I tried to add that but don't know what the script to add the image should be. I tried this:



I'm not sure if this will come up as gibberish or nothing or what I want it to look like.... but on my blog all I get is the heading and nothing else :-(

Thanks

I found a really nice and clear instructions on progress bars for both old and new blogger temlates.

And also colour codes for html if you'd like to change colours of the bars, or template.

I have not posted for a while. I have been working on putting together a Fiber Festival here in Pittsburgh. It is going well and details are on www.pittsburghknitting.com

I have been spending my free time working on swatches for a new shop that will be opening here in Pittsburgh. It will have over 2000 square feet of yarn. That is a lot for around here.

Also to amuse myself I have been trying to start a blog to replace the now dead Uknitted Nations. For some reason I really like the webring. Any way here is the link http://uknittednations.blogspot.com/

Have fun out there in cyber knitting land

Check out this post on my blog. If you would like to take better pictures of your projects or goods for sale, you may find it useful.

Take care...Bernie

This is done as a table with two columns. The only disadvantage that I can see is that you cannot click on the pic to have it enlarged.

(table)(tr)(td)
(img src="http://knit1blogtoo.blogspot.com/http://knit1blogtoo.blogspot.com/image URL"/)
(/td)(td)
(img src="http://knit1blogtoo.blogspot.com/http://knit1blogtoo.blogspot.com/image URL"/)(/td)
(/tr)(/table)

Change the brackets to
appropriately.
The http://knit1blogtoo.blogspot.com/http://knit1blogtoo.blogspot.com/image URL will start with http:// and will end in jpg. or jpeg.

In the http://knit1blogtoo.blogspot.com/http://knit1blogtoo.blogspot.com/image URL you will have the image size looking something like this /s144/ or 144px can be with a different number, depending on the size of your original image. Find out the size of your mainframe in the html edit

#main-wrapper {
width: 410px;
float: left;

And then change the size of your image from 144 to half the main wrapper width (200 or 205 in this case) to fit the frame nicely.

Thank you bingeknitter so much for typing up the tutorial on posting pictures side by side. I don't actually use tables myself but I have often wondered how I could use them just for this purpose. It was very helpful.

Regarding the resizing of photos/images, I haven't tried it in the table format so I'm not sure whether the following would work, but it's worth a go...

Again, brackets should be changed to either
appropriately.

The http://knit1blogtoo.blogspot.com/http://knit1blogtoo.blogspot.com/image URL will start with http:// and will end in jpg. or jpeg.

(table)(tr)(td)
(img src="http://knit1blogtoo.blogspot.com/http://knit1blogtoo.blogspot.com/image URL"/)
(/td)(td)
(img
src="http://knit1blogtoo.blogspot.com/http://knit1blogtoo.blogspot.com/image URL"/)(/td)
(/tr)(/table)

Inserting an img style tag between the http://knit1blogtoo.blogspot.com/http://knit1blogtoo.blogspot.com/image URL and the img src tag, should allow you to format any image or photo that you post to your blog. When you upload an image to Blogger, look at the HTML view of the image and you'll see tags that look similar to this:

(a href="http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i146/craftybernie/P7260027.jpg")(img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i146/craftybernie/P7260027.jpg" border="0" /)(/a)

The first part is the address or the URL of the photo - this is where people will be directed to when they click on the image itself (you can change this to your blog or another website):

(a href="http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i146/craftybernie/P7260027.jpg")

The second part is the style of the image, namely the formatting of the image -

FLOAT:LEFT; - the image is aligned to the left of the post.
MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; - there is a margin or space of 10 pixels at the
right & bottom of the image.
WIDTH: 200px; - the image is 200pixels wide (you can make the image bigger
or smaller by increasing or decreasing this figure)

(img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand" alt=""

The last part is the actual source of the image, namely where the photo is being hosted on the internet (photobucket/flickr/picasa, etc). Do not change this!

src="http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i146/craftybernie/P7260027.jpg" border="0" /)(/a)

I worked it out, Yeepee. If anyone would need it, give me a shout and I'll try to explain how.

Does anyone know how to put two pics side by side and take the border off? I tryed to upload them left and right aligned but they still apear one above the other on left and right. It just looks like a huge mish-mash.

Just popping in to introduce myself and my blog. You can find it here http://www.bingeknitter.blogspot.com

And a question, I can't find my blog in the members list, but I was invited to join and did so.??
