Wow! Only two more outfits to go after this one! And then I can finally wear some of the pieces that my aunt sent to me! Yay!
Several people have mentioned the wonders of hosting photos on Flickr because apparently they retain better quality that way, so I tried that. It didn't work. When I go to Insert Image it keeps telling me that the URL isn't valid and I need to make the photo public - except that it IS public. I've spent almost an hour trying to figure it out and googling but every site just gives instructions on how to do it, which should be simple, but nothing is telling me how to fix the error message. Do I have to actually pay for a Flickr account to post photos to the blog that way?
Otherwise, I don't really have a whole lot to say. I've got a lot on my mind and I'm trying to gather all of my thoughts.

I didn't realize that photo quality is better if you use Flickr or Photobucket to post your pictures with and not just Blogger. Unfortunately I can't offer any help, but would love to stay informed on how you think Flickr, etc. work out (once you get it rolling!) - maybe do a side-by-side comparison if that's an option between Blogger pics and Flickr ones? Haha, I learn something blog-new everyday, thanks!
ReplyDeletelove those lace tights :)
ReplyDeleteI'm not savvy enough to understand Flickr or photobucket :(
I don't know anything about flickr or photobucket or any of those photo sharing sites, but your hair is looking great these days! :)
ReplyDeletethat's a shame flickr doesn't work for you! I love it. I do pay now, but I never used to for ages and there was no problem.
ReplyDeleteplease don't move to photobucket, because my work blocks that so I won't be able to see your lovely outfits!
I have a paid account, but you can post to your blog with a free account. I click on Share this > Grab the html, and then copy and past to my blog.
ReplyDeleteOn flickr, to use the photo from URL, go to: Share Photo > Get HTML/BBB Code > then copy ONLY from http://farm6... .jpg and that's your photo URL. Should work.
ReplyDeletethe purple top and detailed tights look wonderful on you! i wish we could have the same beige boots, hehe, and yellow shoes sound like the bomb =)

Those are some amazing tights!
ReplyDeleteI am new to the whole blogging thing so I am still trying to pick up tips and find out the best format/method to do this.
I loooove how you paired this with those sexy lace tights! You look fabulous darling :)
ReplyDeleteLove you hair today!
ReplyDeleteI used to use flickr and had sooo many problems with it. Unless you've a pay account you can only access 200 of your photos. I used to use photobucket and had better results. I'm now using blogger/Picasa as default, and I see very little loss of quality. It's not my favorite but it works.
Melissa I love your bangs!
ReplyDeleteOk and I just started using flickr and I haven't had issues - and someone did ask me about the photo quality on my blog after the first time I posted, so I guess is DOES make a difference!
I managed to keep my photos private and still post. I'm at work right now so can't really play that much and I'm getting home late tonight, but I will try to email you what I did step by step tomorrow night and hopefully it will work for you :)
Those tights are so pretty! I never have used flickr or photobucket. You look beautiful in purple!
ReplyDeleteyou have the best lacy tights ever! and i actually just started using Flickr yesterday when i noticed some graininess in my pictures. i uploaded my pictures as public pictures and just copied the url for the img in the html code provided... it seemed to work for me although i've heard of Flickr giving people problems.
ReplyDeletecute and little
I love the necklace with that blouse, the tights are fab too.
ReplyDeleteI love those tights!! Hopefully flikr starts working for you!
ReplyDeleteI use Flickr for my pictures and you have to click "share this", then copy the HTML code under the "edit HTML" tab for your post. Just email me if this doesn't make sense. I pretty much stink at explaining techie things! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteThose tights are hot! And I love the color of your top, you look great! I've been using flickr, but didn't know the photo quality was higher...interesting. You have to pay once you have 200 photos saved on the site, which I am unfortunatley just finding out now!
ReplyDeleteLoving the lace tights. Surprised your strict work code allows that but looks great on you.
ReplyDeleteLove the color of your top! :)
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about poor photo quality in blogger. I still post my pictures through there as well so can't offer input about Flickr, but it's interesting to read the comments from other people about it.
Those tights are so hot!! I love! And can I just say again that I am in love with your hair! It looks amazing. I wish I was brave enough to try out bangs like yours!
ReplyDeleteFabulous tights!!!
ReplyDeleteI switched to Flickr and I like it because you can choose from all different sizes of photos. I can't offer any more advice than what others have already said, but I learned my way around the site through much trial and error. Good luck figuring it out!
i don't know much about flickr or photobucket...but i know i LOVE your tights. and this fabulous shirt. and this entire ensemble. seriously. you rocked it, woman!

That colour on you is divine and those stockings are s-e-x-y! I am computer illiterate so I wouldn't be any help- sorry!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could help you, but I don't use flickr. For what it's worth your outfit looks good regardless of how you uploaded it.
ReplyDeleteThe Auspicious Life
Those tights are fabulous!
ReplyDeleteAnd I wish I could offer up some kind of picture wisdom, but if it's not an easy upload, I am completely lost :)
I hate flickr and photobucket I spent hours trying to figure them out.
ReplyDeleteLoving the tights! And the cute belt... AND THE BEAUTIFULLY COLORED BLOUSE! So Inspiring... cheers! xoxo
ReplyDeleteLove your tights! They really pull your whole outfit together nicely!
ReplyDeleteI must have missed the debut of the new hair! You look gorgeous - like Cleopatra today, seriously!! :)
ReplyDeleteYour hair looks especially fantastic in this picture. Just love it! And the lace pattern on your tights is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteHello Melissa, loving your outfit here and those tights, LOVE them, you look gorg! I want, I want them. And lucky you that it's getting warmer. We just had a huge dump of snow which is so unlike Vancouver. xx veronika
