FAQ Question #6
» How do I add images to my journal entries or user bio?
Any image you wish to use must first be uploaded to a webspace provider that allows remote loading to LiveJournal. It is not possible to upload or copy and paste a picture from your hard disk directly into an entry. In order to add an image to your entry, you must first locate a Web server that you can upload the image to. This is necessary because other users need to have access to the image in order to display it and do not have access to the hard disk in your computer. Please see
http://www.livejournal.com/support/faqbrowse.bml?faqid=130 for information on image loading requirements.
To add an image to your journal entry or user bio, use an <img> tag where you want the image to appear:
<img src="
http://www.example.com/image.jpg" alt="title or description" />
Within the code, "
http://www.example.com/image.jpg" must be replaced by the actual URL of the image, and "title or description" can be changed to give the image a title or description of your choice.
You can also tell the browser how tall and wide the image is. In order to do this, use the code shown below, and replace "y" with the height of the image, in pixels, from top to bottom, and "x" with the width of the image in pixels from right to left:
<img src="
http://www.example.com/image.jpg" alt="title or description" height="y" width="x" />
When you add an image to a journal entry, you may also want to use the LiveJournal-specific <lj-cut> tag to hide the image behind a link as this can reduce problems caused by badly formed HTML or large images.
You can also use the rich text feature to include images in journal entries without using HTML. Note that the image you use will still need to be uploaded to a webspace provider that allows remote loading to LiveJournal.
