How do I get a link from my image?

Question

Ok I have a picture I made with windows xp paint. I want to post the image on this site and it asks for an "Image Link" how do I get the image link/code from my image(If that is the right way to do it.)?

The web site I am trying to load this to is a site called Sandbox Farm It's an web game and one of it's features is to load a picture of an animal (on the game) you own. the sit has a little box that you type youre, as they call it, Image link in. That's what I am trying to figuer out.

Answer 1

EDIT:

Ah, ok, I see what you mean now - pretty much what everyone has suggested.

SandBoxFarm want to show your picture on the game. To show the picture they need to find your picture on the internet and they need an Image Link to find it.

At the moment, the image is on your computer so SandBoxFarm can't find it on the internet. So as everyone says you need to first put your picture on the internet so the game can find it.

So upload your photo to say photobucket :

http://photobucket.com/

Now you can give the image link to your photo on photobucket to SandBoxFarm in the text box.

When you view a photo in photobucket, on the right hand side you can see URL Link. Click on this to copy the image link and then paste this into the SandBoxFarm text box.

Sorry if this is more detail than you need, and I hope it is actually what you need!

Answer 2

I am trying to understand what you are asking.

You want to post an image on "this site" - what site is "this site"? Do you mean a web site you are creating or Yahoo Groups or what?

Often an "Image Link" is a specific internet link to a hosted image. Let's say you had a picture called car1 in folder called cars which is a subfolder of images in the web domain www.myfavoritepesonalvehicles.net. The image link could be http://www.myfavoritepersonalvehicles.net/images/cars/car1 as an example.

Answer 3

You have to upload your picture and host it online. Easy way to do this is to go on photobucket.com, primaryupload.com (suggested) or something site like that and have your image up on the web. Then, take the link and that will be your image code/link.

Answer 4

You need to put the image online before you can display it on that site.

Try a service such as http://flickr.com/ or http://photobucket.com/
