Since a lot of ppl have nowhere to upload images except for GeoCities and similar hosts that do not allow remote linking, I’ve got sort of a smooth solution here::…
Personally, I rarely look at linked images if I have to anything more than click on the link. I’m just too lazy.
In fact, it wouldn’t be very hard to make a little HTML-page to embed your images in, but since that rarely happens, I guess it is not easy enough…
So I give you:: The Solution…
Three simple steps, and you only have to use ONE single html-file to rule them all…
Step 1
Copy and paste the code below into one piece of empty file. Then upload it to your crappy webspace provider. Give it a good name like “showpic.html” or something like that.
Step 2
Upload your images just as you usually do.
Step 3
When it is time for you to post a link in the WIP or Finished Projects forum, do it like this:
Hey guys! Here are my latest blendings, two views, just click:
http://www.craphost.com/myaccount/showpic.html?myimage.jpg
or...
http://www.craphost.com/myaccount/showpic.html?anotherimage.jpg
Please notice that the file ‘showpic.html’ never needs to be changed since you reference the correct image in the link instead.
This is the html/javascript you need for ‘showpic.html’::…
<html>
<head>
<script language="JavaScript">
function load_the_image() {
var thePic=window.location.search
temp=thePic.substring(1,thePic.length)
document.write('');
document.close();
}
</script>
</head>
<body onLoad="javaScript: load_the_image();return true">
This can simply be empty
</body>
</html>
Warning: I don’t have a crappy host myself, so I cannot test this. As long as the hosts do not parse files to search & destroy javascript, it really should work.
