Request for YOUR Link

Funny thing about that... I have Photoshop and have become fairly adept
at it. I pulled your cover photo in and re-sized it, saved it, and
thern re-loaded it into my website. The same sized image keeps coming
up. I even cleared my cache and did it again, and again, and ...

But that one worked, but now it's a tad small... LOL. The main thing is
exposure and Yahoo/Google bots that creep around snitching urls.

I've been putting this off a long time, worried that I may leave
someone out - but I gotta start somewhere. Thanks for the push, Sunnie
Sue!

Phil, set up a free account with Photobucket. You can upload photos and it will allow you to resize them and do quite a bit more editing. I like Photoshop, but Photobucket will give you an image address that you can use when you need one.

The original photo was 448 X 646 and I resized it to 112 X 162. It made it just a bit small, sorry bout that.

I have a Photobucket account - I just simply forgot about it. It even lets you make avatar, website and blog formats.

Oh well... lol

Phil, I was sitting here watching t.v. for a while and kept thinking about what I may have started here with adding links. *grin* I only did it cause I wanted it for my site: to let you all know how much I enjoy and respect you. Then it snowballed. Guess it was meant to be. You are welcome for the push, Phil. *giggle*

Subject: RE:Request your link on my website Sat Jun 07, 2008 11:16 pm

My website is http://www.silentlair.com. You can post my covers on your website by going to the "COVERS" page on my website and clicking "SAVE AS" to your computer.

Phil,
You can add dimensions to any pic. If you right click on the image and scrolll down to "Properties" you will see the dimensions of the photo. You can calculate smaller dimensions and add them to the code:

Code:: < img src="http://philswebsite.com/link_image.jpg" width="xxx" height="yyy" />

I had to put a space between < and img to stop the editor from trying to find an image! It should be: <img

The code for message boards is:

Code:: [img(###px,###px)]http://philswebsite.com/link_image.jpg[/img]

I see that zelman has a neat howling wolf as an avatar. I like it. The wolf I'm using is also howling, but not at the moon.

Subject: Re: Request for YOUR Link Sun Jun 08, 2008 9:14 am

That's it! If you remove the first [img] you will see the photo.

You edited your post and now mine doesn't make sense! geek

I have now caught up with the thread. I have added A. Ahad and Zelman.

Pam, want a link on my site?

Subject: Re: Request for YOUR Link Mon Jun 09, 2008 10:41 pm

Thank you, A. Ahad. I will try to put it up tonight. All the rest are already up.

Pam, I have downloaded a book cover to put up. Unless you have a specific one I will try to get it up later today. What addy do you want associated with it?

Subject: Re: Request for YOUR Link Tue Jun 10, 2008 12:31 am

Ok... I am caught up now. I have 2 pages. I am trying to keep the load time down as much as possible. I love the way D.J. did it but I will not copy him. *grin* (even if I could. *giggle*)

Shelagh... I have your book up also.

Pam... Do you want Maggie Bender or Pam?

Subject: Re: Request for YOUR Link Tue Jun 10, 2008 3:17 am

Sue, Don and Phil, that is so wonderful. I would love to return the honor but I don't have the web resources to update my author directory page anymore:

http://www.astroscience.org/Books/pa-authors.htm

Rest assured however, I am working on getting another page set up on Freewebs... sunny

Karina,

You're up on mine..."Other Authors 2"

Subject: Re: Request for YOUR Link Wed Jun 11, 2008 7:45 am

Thanks Phil and Sue--I am getting mine organized as we speak. If you can link mine to my blog or to www.maggiebendar.com that'd be marvellous!

Subject: Re: Request for YOUR Link Wed Jun 11, 2008 9:06 am

Do you have a specific image you would like us to use, Pam?

I have to put up Karina's and Pam's and then I am caught up. DJ is a speed demon LOL...

Hi Sue,
Feel free to use whichever pic you prefer -- my pic from here is good, or the book cover.

Thanks!
