I actually like the photobucket iphone app. Go into settings and you can set uploads (from phone) to 600×600 and they're set right for LJs. If I depended on a PC to upload pics, my uploads / posts would likely stop.

Smit, so you just dump them directly into photobucket, then insert them as web-based images using the img button?

 

[BrandonW]

Good suggestion, Smitty. I tend to mail them to my computer and upload them from there, but I think you're method works well when I'm takng pics with my phone.

didn't know about the 600px wide thing… I guess it's just dumb luck that I automatically resize my images to 600×450 for thumbnails and 1600×1200 for zoomed in pictures… I use a simple PHP page to make the store of thumbs and images into a list of thumbnails that link to respective larger pictures that way too. Makes it easy to show my projects to people

Nope, I flip through photobucket (PB) and select the one I want. when it comes up in the PB app, I can grap the Image (address) URL; I think it's third down of the four that show, but I don't remember… could be the second one… Anyway, once that's copied to the clipboard, I flip back to the entry in LJ, type the first !, tap to paste the Image url, type the second ! and it's good to go.

I don't use the img button or the link icon.

I should add that I take pictures directly to the PB app on my phone. 'upload image, from camera' rather than snap the pics then upload to pb… it's just cleaner and it's just as fast, really.

The best lookin benches are the ones that are being used…......

Video can be just as fun…I really wish I had done a youtube account for the class. I would like to reload everything on that site and re-link everything so you have the option to fast forward through some of my ramblings.

Oh well.

 

[Brit]

I print my photos, trim them with a pair of scissors, touch them up with an airbrush, scan them back in, then upload them.

...or do I?

 

[Smitty_Cabinetshop]

Ryan, where are your videos hosted now? Posted straight to LJs?

 

[Brit]

Ryan - You're ramblings are some of the best bits. Pure class.

 

[Smitty_Cabinetshop]

Andy, lol… However you do it, I'll be you make it look easy.

And Shepherd, you are so right!

 

[RGtools]

No, I used facebook and then, ported them in much like you would a picture….it seems like sometimes you can only get a picture of the video as opposed to the full vid. (not due to the privacy filters either, I set those to public for the class).

I did not find a video straight to LJ option. Don't tell me if there is one….I might cry.

 

[Brit]

For vids, I upload them to my YouTube channel and then copy and paste the embed code into my LJs post.

 

[Smitty_Cabinetshop]

I found my methods above don't work for videos from PB, but… I can select text and create a hyperlink to the PB-hosted video. Check my fan club comment see how it worked… I'd like to get a video frame in the LJs post, haven't figured out how to do that within my framework just yet.

 

[Smitty_Cabinetshop]

Thanks for the input, Andy, wondered how you did yours, too.

I don't have a youtube channel yet… hesitant to learn another app environment if I can find a way to do it within PB.

Just thought I'd try and post a pix again.

This is the chain vise finished and working. If I had the cross I would not be able to feed that curved piece between the screw and the beam.

 

[Boatman53]

Well that didn't work. Is it really that hard to post a pix?

 

[Boatman53]

One more time.

No worries, Sylvain! I just wanted to point out that I do find dog holes useful, in case someone thought I wasn't going to use them.
