Cannot embed Picasa photos

[M. Ploymi]

I've made a Picasa web album because other EFers mentioned that they use the program to upload onto EF. I click the picture I want to embed, I click "Link to this photo" and then check the "Hide Album Link" tab. Whenever I try to embed the url onto a post, I keep getting the icon.

Any suggestions?

Might it have something to do with the size? It's set at Medium 400px...

Two other ways to do it:



1)

Right click actual photo and click properties

copy the URL address


then paste the URL address as below:

[ img ] URLadressofpicture [ / img ]


(just without the spaces)




2) download the images to your computer and then add the pictures to your post by using the 'attachments' function


Hope that helps

cheers

First one worked! No properties tab, but it said copy image url. A bit embarrassed I didn't try that out myself though...

Thank ya kindly

The way I do it (there are certainly other ways) is to:

1. Select the picture from the album by clicking on it
2. Right click on the picture and choose "Copy Image Location" and paste that URL

which gives me:
