BYC Personal Pages Upgrade

[Happy Chicken Mama]

It is working perfectly now!

Thank you!!

Now I just have to figure out how to delete my test pages!

Thanks again!

I've been trying to create a page for the last two nights. I've lost count of how many times I've had it ready to go, then hit an accidental keystroke and lost the whole thing - so I tried doing a small sample page with one image. When I hit publish I get sent back to the "my page" page and it shows the titles of my pages (all 3 or 4 of the ones I've attempted) but when I click on the links I get a blank page. Doh! I'm using Safari, which is apparently not a browser this site supports well (or at all?). Is there anything I can do?

I noticed you had a few pages with the same name. That may have been the problem. I deleted the extras.

Here is the page I see: https://www.backyardchickens.com/web/viewblog.php?id=20225-presenting-the-chick-majal

I see text and sorta images.
The images look odd:

webkit-fake-url://C6E1BBFE-4D38-4565-93F4-5B067E6ACD28/20225_lucybuffy1.jpg

The url should look like: https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/uploads/2_alana-horse.jpg

Thanks! That's the last one I published (I was getting close to throwing something so it was my final "test"). I imported the images (I think) as the tutorial showed - by copying and pasting from the uploaded images themselves. Should I just copy and paste the url instead?

I have found that uploading the images to photbucket first helps . Then all you have to do isfind the photo you want to add to your page, click the direct link for the photo (this automatically copies it. Thenm when you are in the edit moce for your page click on add phot. paste the url you copioed into the amage url space, add and your image should be inserted (be sure you are submitting the changes)

So it doesn't work to link to the files that I've uploaded to BYC? I thought the tutorial video showed the images being linked from my "uploads" page. I've never used Photobucket before . . .
thanks for you patience with this topic!

Honestly I haven't attempted to use the BYC upload, I have always just used photobucket since I already use it for other photosharing and it just seems simple enough to just use the one site. That is just my preference and what I am used to using.,

You also have the capability of editing the photos on photobucket if you haven't already done so.

Is there any way to upload or link to a google sites page? (pre existing web page). I have made one through Google but can't seem to get the html for it (google is user friendly and doesn't require html). I'd like to just link this page to BYC instead of completely making a new one here at BYC. Is there any way to do this?

The only thing i have thought of is on my BYC page to add a link to my google page, but i'd prefer a direct link (like when you click in people's avatars), that way you don't have to click twice to get to my page.

Is there a way to do this? If so, can you pm me? either the answe or where to look/ I always have a hard time finding this tread thanks!

It depends on the content on the Google page, but here are two things you could do:

1) Copy the HTML and paste it into the BYC page creator after clicking the "html" button.

2) Copy and paste the contents as shown at the end of the instrucion video.

Is there any way to upload more than one photo at a time instead of finding and loading and finding and loading etc.
