We're Back (Sort Of)

Baby, Bogie, and Marilyn.
It seems that over the past few hours that the Powers That Be here at
Opera have been doing something. Specifically, they've been working on
getting the problem of not being able to upload photos to a post fixed.
And I can now access my FILES folder, which isn't really worth much
except it allows me to add photos to Comments again.
As it stands, if you try to upload a photo on your post you get a line
of code, and a note telling you that you should paste that line into
your post. But the result is not an image in your post. It's only a link
to the photo in your folder.
And of course this really shouldn't be the case. If you can't upload
images to your posts quickly and easily, the site is pretty much useless
-- at least in today's blogging world.
But there is one bit of McGuyvering that you can do to get the photos in
your posts anyway. For those who may not be into the whole code thing,
here is the way to do it. Or at least it is one way to do it -- and fairly
simple:
STEP 1. In ADD NEW POST, upload your photo in the normal way. You will get
something that looks like this:
[ATTACH=http://files.myopera.com/edwardpiercy/blog/MM-Bacall- Bogart-1.jpg]MM-Bacall-Bogart-1.jpg[/ATTACH]
STEP 2. Go ahead and paste the line into your post in the spot where you
want your photo to be.
STEP 3. Edit the line so that it looks like this:
[IMGCENTER=http://files.myopera.com/edwardpiercy/blog/MM-Bacall- Bogart-1.jpg]
That's it. If you've typed everything correctly it should work.
If you want the image left or right instead of center, just use IMGLEFT
or IMGRIGHT instead of IMGCENTER.
As Angeliki notes, you can also embed photos into your post from an
outside source like Photobucket. I prefer not to go to that. If somewhere
up the road Photobucket goes out of business, your posts won't have photos
anymore. Whereas if Opera goes out of business, you lose your entire blog
anyway so it really doesn't make any difference at that point.
Anyway, I hope this helps a few people until such time as things are
working the way they used to -- i.e. working right.

It's good to be back, Star. I dropped by your place, but it's always nice having you here too of course. I've got all sorts of stuff to put up.
Hmmm. Must be a small spot on her dress...?
I don't think Lauren would like that very much! With her, she'd probably kick him in the balls!
What I kept thinking is that it looks like Bogie is rolling a joint. But nah, couldn't be. Just an old roll-your-own. You think a celebrity like him could afford prerolled smokes.

"Excuse me, sweetie, I think I see something down in your dress. Allow me..."

Ed is back!!!
darn it Ed,
I knew about the code ... Darko told me some time ago,
sorry I did not mention it to you,
of course if he wasn't after the Japanese girls in Japan he would have told you himself, but he is nowhere to be found till next Monday
by the way as long as I don't drop dead, photobucket or Opera can have their own faith at any time !
great to see you back in business !
edwardpiercy # 24. November 2008, 22:52
Don't sweat it!
But thanks.
And, in memory of our good friend Darko, who is no doubt eating way too much fish at this point, here's this one...

a great picture Ed!
if Darko shows his metals to them,
(which he never does) that's how they will react!!!
I hope he gets the gold this time around!!!
(he says it doesn't mater to him and I believe him
edwardpiercy # 24. November 2008, 23:38
Perhaps Darko should invite those nice girls back to his hotel for some time in the jacuzzi!
ellinidata # 24. November 2008, 23:56
I hope he does!!!!
now when they see a 6'.4" tall man usually they follow him...

I was was just thinking looking at that photo earlier just how cool Bogart was. I don't know exactly what it was about him. That voice maybe, the way he would do his mouth, or maybe...don't know.
I'm glad to see you here again Richard. Thanks for stopping by.

Well, I guess this whole coding business is beyond me anyway. But strange it is.
Glad you're still here, Edward.

I also believe she is a great girl and I really respect her for being honest with you.
Yes, Indian girls are beautiful and great ladies too!
