How to put an image in your description or on a wiki

If you have the image on your computer, just use the Upload Image button that is above the textarea you're typing in (It can be another too, but then you have to copy the code) and then you'll get the pseudo HTML code at the end of your text automatically when they upload is done. But this page explains how to use an image already on Elftown or another web-site.

1.
Right-click on the image.
2.
Go to ''properties''.
3.
Copy the URL. (The thing that starts with: http:)
4.
Paste the URL inside an image-tag: <img:the URL>
Now it should look like <img:http://www.elftown.com/img/drawing/01112_65758.gif>
Note: You can make it shorter if the image is on Elftown, by removing http://www.elftown.com/ from the URL (As it's still a working URI).

5.
Save the changes as usual.

_{This also works for messages, diaries and forums. It does work in the commentbox on wikis too, but remember that many people don't like huge images in the commentbox, so it's a good idea to resize it by putting f.e. 100 between <img and :URL> (Like <img100:URL> It will be clickable and link to the bigger image).}

And of course follow the Uploading Art Rules, especially when posting in your presentation where random stuff isn't allowed! Post such things in your diary, wiki-pages or private messages to your friends, and never ever post illegal images.

You can resize the images, rotate them, put them to the right or left of the text and make them links to wiki-pages.
Read all about it on <URL:pseudo_html.html> or pseudo HTML.

2005-12-09 [Urmando The Elfling]: Is it also possible to put 2 images next 2 eachother, 2 save vertical space?

2005-12-09 [Zab]: yes, but then use an image tag (the <img:> thingie) for each image, and just write them next to eachother. :)

2005-12-09 [Sunrose]: Yes, but not if they are too big. You'd have to resize them into thumbnails first to a size that makes them fit next to each other. See pseudo html#Resizing images :)

2005-12-09 [Zab]: true...Oo why did I forgét to say that?

2006-03-30 [Iske]: how to enlarge them....???? they are small

2006-03-30 [Iske]: foundit.. thx

2006-04-30 [trust me]: how do u get more then 2 pics on ur home page

2006-04-30 [Zab]: By adding them in your description. :) You can add them in your image description too, but it's better if you keep them in your actual description.:)

2006-10-15 [Levi_lou]: how do i put img's on my wiki im slow i need help with this stuff

2006-10-15 [Zab]: You do as it say on this wiki, step by step:)

2006-10-16 [~Saraneth~]: [Zab] you are awesome and I finally understnad what I wanted to know! After all this time too. *ish sheepish*

2006-10-16 [Zab]: Hehe, you're welcome and thanks:)

2007-02-09 [Sunrose]: What do you see when you check properties?

2007-07-09 [Phoxx]: If you don't have a website where your pictures are uploaded, do you have to put them in the picture sloth in your house one by one or is there another way to get them on a wiki?

2007-07-09 [Zab]: On your house I think there is a button ''upload a folder of images'' (if you have priv 99) which should make you able to upload several pictures at once. I think.
I'm not at all sure of this tho, since I've never tried it.. :S
*waits for someone else who knows to answer*

2007-07-09 [Sunrose]: That button is there with all the privs :)

2007-07-09 [Phoxx]: I'm gonna try it now, I'll let you know. Thanx for the help :)

2007-07-09 [Zab]: Oh..I have no idea :P

2007-07-09 [Phoxx]: It works great! You should try it ;)

2007-07-09 [Zab]: XD Maybe I will.. I just rarely upload several images at once.. :P
