You'll be really surprised how you link to a MySpace Album Image. I think the first thing anyone should do is create a folder to house any images you don't want the general public to see, yet be able to link to them at your choosing. That's what I did. Now I have a separate folder for anything that I don't really care to have friends comment on, yet it is a method to have MySpace literally host the images for me say vs. Photobucket or Imageshack.

BTW, if you find an image elsewhere, which is likely the case, you can save it to your computer, upload it to your private folder, then create a link to it to display in a blog, a MySpace comment, somewhere else on your profile, anywhere or anything.

Here is how you do it:

1) find the image

2) save it to your computer (right-click and choose "save image as..."

3) manipulate it, if you will, then upload it to your private MySpace folder

4) so you want to place the image in a blog? Go to the image where you have it saved

5) open it and then right-click it and choose "properties"

6) double-click the http: link that reads "location:" just before it.

7) copy the link (cntrl-c) or right-click (you know this stuff)

8) drop the link into your <img> tag shell

9) <img src="http://a833.ac-images.

That is an actual image I have on my MySpace profile. I will copy that code above to the html side here to demonstrate:

Now, I just need to figure out how to align all of this stuff! Never mind! I just figured it out. I was typing here and changing things as I got to it. Sort of a live work in progress, if you will.

I just linked to my MySpace profile pic. The really cool part will be to see if the image here changes along with my changing the MySpace image. I suppose it will, so long as the link isn't unique. Given how MySpace is programmed, it will probably be a unique link and when I change the picture there, it will create a broken link here.

Joomla has a really odd way of having to upload images and display them within articles. I have to upload them to a specific directory named "stories". I tried creating a new directory and uploading to it, but the images would always upload to the root folder for some odd reason. I was able to get them into the stories folder, however.

Stay tuned for more to come!

Here is the code I used to make this work:

The Roanokereviewer.com is a blog dedicated to the greater Roanoke Valley and surrounding areas. The site is immersed in reviews of local restaurants and basically anywhere one might purchase things.

I work in Daleville, but live in Roanoke. Along the course of an average week or month, I've visited many of the same fast-food chains, shopping places, restaurants, and grocery store in the area. I like to tell you about both the good and the bad and sometimes the ugly. I think it is necessary.
