I've always been curious how people make the images they paste into comments here.
So, I hope you all don't mind me asking. What were the steps you used to get your image into your comment? I teach and am always interested in the way others do things so that I can help me and my students better.
jimw, the way that I post an image is:
1 - go to a free image host like - imageshack.us
2 - upload your photo
3 - once uploaded, right-click and copy the relevant code
4 - paste it in here, in your comments box
5 - make sure the HTML button below the comments box is checked
6 - hit Add Your Comments!
What I really meant to ask is how do you take a picture of you desktop and resize it so that the image will fit nicely in the comment? What tools do you use, if any? I guess I am not very good at this because all my screen captures never come out the way I want them. Maybe this question is more relevant now that we have some thumbnail images and extremely big pictures here.
Thank you.
I have this (the 1280x1024 one). And I've had it for quite a while now. I don't really like wallpapers with much on them. I like it when the whole left side is kind of neutral, dito for the upper and bottom right corners, where I tend to have icons.
I'm an old-fashioned man who thinks that all that photo-details make the icons harder to identify in the desktop. Thus, I'm using a steel-blue uniform color for the background.
Now I'm thinking I'm don't really have icons in the desktop... I'm using a contextual menu in the background to obtain the list of tasks and another to get the main menu. Thus, I don't know why I'm still using the simple color in the background. I'm really old-fashioned.
