ARG! Siggy Pic Troubleshooting

[mk]

There's a reason I never participate in these dang things- I can't do it!! What am I doing wrong?!

[ct]

maybe because its a pic from facebook? Maybe try uploading it to a photo sharing site like shutterfly?

How do I make a siggy? I'm a luddite.

[mk]

Ok, I uploaded it to flickr, and it still isn't working. Don't you think after having been a knottie for like, a decade, I should know how to do this?! I copy and pasted this: , erased the *s and everything in between, pasted my URL there and added ] and [ around the front and end parts. I'm obviously totally computer literate.

On flickr there should be a share option to "grab the HTML/BBCode" or something like that. Try grabbing that for the size you want and C&P that one into your profile.

I had the same problem as MK when I tried to do it from my photobucket...sigh.

Yeah, I tried to participate in the last challenge and couldn't make it work... but ill be watching to see if anyone can explain it.

I don't even know what that means. Thanks for trying, guys!

That's it, just remove the *s

Well... I got all the way through finding and uploading a first day of school picture, and then I realized that it had my full name printed legibly on my lunchbox. And now my picture is giant. I fear I am not long for the siggie challenge world.

DW made it work! This is the first day of school from either K or 1st grade (not sure which, and as CT pointed out it's a bit awkward to ask my mom ) so I should get bonus points for fall!

mk - I do this, only I add a few characters, don't know if that will make a difference. It looks like this: URL here[/img] If you have it on flickr, when you're viewing the pic, click on the option to "view all sizes" then you can choose a nice small siggy-friendly size. Once you are looking at the size you like, click on it with the right mouse button and choose "properties." A box pops up with a long URL in it - that is the URL you need! Just copy it and insert in that code without the stars.

Oh, I got mine to work! I'm four in that pic and I swear I look exactly the same.
