Here’s what I’ve got so far. I’m still learning, hopefully this will be useful for other people learning/trying to post image on BLF.
I created Flickr account yesterday, for the sole purpose of posting image on BLF. Free account can have 1000 images (or is it 999?). I uploaded a few images for testing. Created “Album” , etc, etc, etc …
That’s the EASY part.
Next, how to actually shows the image on blf post??? It was a huge and complicated puzzle to me. I tried with Flickr and failed. I tried with my Google Drive and Google Photo and it’s even worse/waaay mooooore COMPLICATED.
So I got back to Flickr. Following good advices in this thread. Tanks so much guys …
I’m on my phone. It maybe easier on PC / laptop. It’s doable on phone.
With Firefox browser on an Android phone:
Open budgetlightforum.com, etc, etc .
Open Flickr (also on Firefox browser on my phone) . Several tabs of blf.com and several tabs of flickr.com .
The key is Page Source .
On Flickr : open album, select one image.
Click “three-dot thingy” on top right corner of Firefox browser , click “Page” , then click “View Page Soure”.
Then new tab opens . There’re hundreds of lines. Click “three-dot thingy” again, click “Find in page” , to find the image file name, type “.jpg” in the “search” field , and I find something like this :
… src=“//live.staticflickr.com/65535/50323153077_a732b24113_t.jpg” …
Use this line:
“//live.staticflickr.com/65535/50323153077_a732b24113_t.jpg”
and add “https:”
So it becomes :
“https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50323153077_a732b24113_t.jpg”
That creates/shows thumbnail.
For higher-res image, change the “_t” with “_b” .
So it becomes :
“https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50323153077_a732b24113_b.jpg”
and shows higher-res image.
Now you can decorate your post on BLF with your own decorative flashlight images (or any image you like)
Let me try again (now it has “_m” instead of “_t” ? ) :
“//live.staticflickr.com/65535/50322282888_4db6e6caee_m.jpg”
Let me experiments again with “_b” ( change the _m with _b ) :
“//live.staticflickr.com/65535/50322282888_4db6e6caee_b.jpg”
Learnt new things again :
_t = thumbnail .
_m is larger than _t .
_b is larger than _m .
