Site Maintenance Notice

I’ve been given the maintenance keys to the blog while The All Seeing Eye is out of town, and have added a plug-in allowing images to be posted in comments. See this example of my recent comment in the open thread.

Please note that it’s not uploading anything here, but requires uploading the image to a hosting site of your choosing, then linking here. It’s not a perfect solution, but there doesn’t seem to be another way to put images in comments with the basic WordPress system. If it becomes a problem, I’ll get rid of it.

So now below the comment box you’ll see “You can add images to your comment by clicking here”. Click there, and a window pops up where you paste in the link to the image you want to show. You can also adjust the size by adding:

?w=xxx&h=xxx

in between the “.jpg” and theĀ  “[/img]” (no spaces or quotes) at the end of the code that appears after you paste the link.

List of image hosting sites:

Flickr

Photobucket

Picasa

tinypic

ImageShack

PicTiger

There are others, please feel free to recommend any that work for you.

Hope this helps.
