Hey Darren, for those of us who don't use flickr, what's the size dimensions for "medium" so that we know what to resize our images to?

As an alternative, I use http://imageshack.us/ very easy, no need to register and gives you the code to paste right into reply

Small = 240x180px

Medium = 500x375px

Swap the values for portrait orientated pictures. For images that aren't in 4:3 ratio, constrain the dimensions so that the result is no larger in either dimension (eg. a small picture could be 240x120px if the original ration was 2:1).

More to the point though, just don't make the pictures too big - a page of 2400x1800px images is going to cause a lot of people problems so it is better to share smaller thumbnail images and allow people to click through to the original.

Or Photobucket I find it's very easy to use myself.

embed a pic from my site; it seem to work so here is the text i used.

(<)object data="YOUR IMG ADDRESS HERE">
(<)a href="YOUR IMG ADDRESS HERE">


You must remove the ( ) around < before object and a href, I had to do that to get the text on screen and replace "YOUR IMG ADDRESS HERE" just put the location of you pic e.g. www.you.com/img123.jpg

Darren:

Is post processing allowable in the pictures submitted for the assignments?

Unless the assignment specifies "Direct from Camera" then some post-processing is fine. You may want to note what you've done - purists can choose to look away and the rest of us can watch and learn
