***edited*** Well I tried to put a little preview pic but for some reason its only showing up as the html, anyone know why?

That's because you're using UBB code. For some reason this board is unlike every other discussion board I'm on in that it uses HTML code for posting links. I always forget, and that's why all my posts with photos in them are edited. [img]redface.gif[/img]

The magic formula is...

img src="Your photo URL in quotes here"

Put a < right before it and a > right after it, with no spaces to get it to work. Or, if you use Photobucket, just copy and paste the stuff on the second line under your photo.

Voila! Instant photo.

Edited to change the link a couple times. Nope, using an imagestation album photo doesn't work.

Ok [img]graemlins/shhh.gif[/img] Anne, what's the secret for imagestation. My understanding of html is < I would like.

Sorry. [img]redface.gif[/img] Duty called.

To get the URL for your Imagestation photo, you need to RIGHT click on the photo and select "Properties." The URL displayed there is the actual image URL that you want to use.

Then, type..

< img src="Your URL in quotes" >

...only take out the spaces between the < and img, and between the closing quote mark and the >. I'd love to type it out exactly as it should be entered, but then it tries to display an image that doesn't exist and you can't see what I wrote.

Ooh, this is a perfect topic, because I just finished uploading some new photos of my current doll displays onto Imagestation. I put in pics of my AG dolls, of course, and also of my Magic Attic, My Twinn, and Only Hearts Club dolls just for some variety. If you click on the link in my signature, then choose the "My American Girls" out of the album list, the new pics start at #52.

thanks for the magic formula! It's weird because for my signature pic I used the [img][/img] code.

I completely agree - that picture of the girls under the Christmas tree is GORGEOUS, Julia! [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]

Julia can I ask what that little horse/donkey stuffed animal is in the first picture in the bedroom (which is awesome as well)? It is so cute, something my nephew would love!

Oh, you mean Brown Sugar, the Mind Control Horse? I took this photo a couple years ago when dear son came to me and said in a strange monotone "Will someone please remove the Mind Control Horse". Of course I left the Mind Control Horse there until I took a photo.

We bought that horse perhaps 4 years ago. His legs are floppy and he's stuffed with some heavy stuffing. The labels say GUND and Everland Entertainment Threads. There is the remains of another tag with 08N78 on it. I don't remember where we bought that horse but it has been well loved by the boys. It's got such a cute expression.

Thanks for the compliments. That Christmas photo is part of a little AG Christmas Gift Exchange story. One of these days I'll upload the other 16 photos that go with that story. Hopefully by Christmas. I'm so backlogged, I'm still working on the Valentine Exchange story, ha ha.

Oh... I wish I had a display too. Mari and Felicity just sit on my bed, with Elizabeth and the signed Felicity are still in their boxes.

I love the pictures! All of them!

I've been wanting to post this for awhile, but I needed to get my hands on a digital camera first.

I know a few of you already have albums of your storage or displays, but I thought it might be fun and resourceful to have them all in one place. You know, in case someone is looking for ideas or just curious.

This is a little preview of my display and then I made an album of a few more closeups. Its not elaborate, plus I'm moving because I'm getting married in 6 weeks. Shuffar's Display Album

Oooh, I like this thread! I will use it as an incentive to clean up my room (I just got back from a week and a half vacation!) and FINALLY make that album Ive been meaning to do since about last November when I joined this board. By the way, I really liked yours shuffar, that was a really cute display case!
