Attaching Pictures Using MySpace Upload
Picture Codes
MySpace is one of the most popular, and one of the largest,
online social networking websites in the world that allows
people to use MySpace upload picture codes to share
photographs. It gives people the opportunity to create their
own personalized profiles and share them through blogs and
networks within the MySpace system. .
The Upload Tool
Describing yourself through an online profile does require
more than just words. Since Myspace makes it possible to upload
pictures, it is just appropriate that they provide users an
easy way to do so. And this is exactly what they have done with
their upload tool that allows people to put pictures of
themselves on the site from their local computers. Basically,
MySpace allows users to store their pictures onto their site.
This is neither burdensome nor difficult but there are
disadvantages.
The first disadvantage is that the space allotted to each
user for pictures is actually limited and there is a certain
size limit that you have to follow so that the picture will be
successfully uploaded. The second disadvantage is that you
cannot set your profile to display multiple pictures on the
front page of your MySpace account.
The Alternative
There is a way to go around the limitations that MySpace has
set for its users and with a little HTML knowledge you can do a
whole lot with your profile. First of all, you will need to
find a site that will host or park your pictures. Some popular
sites are Flickr and Photo Bucket. What you want to do is open
accounts with those storage providers and upload all your
pictures into those accounts. With basic HTML, you can actually
mirror those images onto the front page of your MySpace
profile. This is a great way for you to add more pictures to
your online blog on MySpace without having to go beyond the
limit that the site has set for its users.
Text
For some, simple text links that will lead them to where
your pictures are parked will suffice. You will have to provide
some sort of description of course. So before providing the
link, say something that people should expect if they click
onto the link. It can be as simple as the following sample:
If you want to check out pictures of my party, check out
[INSERT THE LINK TO THE PICTURES HERE].
All you have to do is replace the capitalized text with the
actual link of the site where you parked your party
pictures.
Embed
The other way is to use MySPace upload picture codes that
are HTML-based and have the pictures that you parked somewhere
else to display on the front page of your profile. All you have
to do is make use of the following code:
<style type="text/css"><img
src="http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a172/username/sample.gif"></style>
That is what the link will look like if you use Photo Bucket
and all you have to do is just replace the italicized link with
your actual link. Use that code in any text area of your
MySPace profile and the image that is parked in Photo Bucket
will appear where you place the code. For some services, you
may not even need to use the <style> tags anymore but
it’s safer to use them so that they work properly.
MySpace is a fun online community to be on. You can make the
experience even more fun if you make your profile look hip and
nice to look at. Embedding pictures or linking to them will
definitely help get more people interested in who you are. And
you can do this by using the MySpace tools or MySpace upload
picture codes.
