  1. A tribute to The Lady in Red. Will have to check out Wired.

        First with a link to the flat screen thing, in Saturday’s comments. Are you getting the show before the rest of us, or reading the RB zeitgeisty mind, or wormholing back and forth to the future?

    What a pleasant surprise to see a post on your Memorial Day! I stopped by out of habit figuring on reading any new comments to Friday’s post and BOOM! there is a fresh one already up - thank you RB!

    I’m artistically challenged but I can’t wait to see how people Photoshop RB onto that cover of Wired! Great catches Joanne!

      Nice one!

      But the bug in autolinking looks more like a typo in your URL!

        Not a typo. I explicitly created a link with < a >, both the href and the link text was a full URL, and the autolinking still did its job, totally unnecessarily, resulting in what you see (the html source is even worse)

        Sorry! It looked obvious but then I looked at your blog and you obviously know what you are doing! Nice stuff!

        Actually it\’s far from perfect, I\’m just an enthusiast amateur, and I know that because I\’ve seen people do much better, really amazing stuff with PS, but thanks anyway :)

        Thanks for the intro to The Resident! 4 minutes turned into 12 but I like her style and the editing is good too.

        Sure is quiet in here today. I guess them Americans take their long weekends rather seriously!

      OK, now I\’ll ask! My idea this morning involved bringing a straw into the glass and now you have her eating the page, maybe you could work that in to it?

      The first one gets my vote!

    2. Should\’ve moved the mag and the eye in the middle of her forehead. My time traveller buddy has a 3rd eye…oops, wasn\’t supposed to tell. Too late. If I never post again, you\’ll know why…in which case, I leave all my b-links™ to Nab.

      You can always host the site somewhere like ImageShack where they host it for free.

    2. …Or you can send us all tickets and we’ll visit you in hawaii and tell you what a fabulous job you did. By the way, are the arm and leg both from the same side? Or did you have the good sense to give up your left arm and right leg…the world needs some balance afterall.

  11. To post images, use the code:

    Where the link is the direct link to any .jpg, .gif, or other kind of image.

    People can upload images on our wiki and link to there as well.

    1. Drew it didn\’t work. Can you use that to post any image?

      1. B-man, you linked to a flickr page, but not a direct link to an image. This particular image, as seen here:
        http://flickr.com/photos/chrisser/472449564/in/pool-flowerthemes/

        …is set up in a way that the author doesn\’t want you to share it. Usually there are links to flickr images above the image that say \”all sizes\”. Also, usually with most flickr images, you can right click on the image and copy the address.
