Ferrets Trial

This is an experimental post: my new copy of iPhoto lets me upload photo albums to Flickr easily, so I thought I'd see how easy it would be to cross post to Blogger:



Bit of fiddling, but made it. (Later - can folk see this?)

Or I can insert a link to the original gallery.

(I saw this sign walking into Bardney from the moorings at the bridge over the Witham one day, and was sufficiently tickled by it I took a photo on my phone.)

Interesting photo!
I can see the photo if I click through either of the links. But it does not load the photo embedded in to your blogger page.
blogger is linking to:
http://1.2.3.11/bmi/farm4.static.flickr.com/3499/4007619139_0fdedf30d2.jpg

flickr is:
http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3499/4007619139_0fdedf30d2.jpg

So I guess the extra "1.2.3.11/bmi"
is upsetting it?

I hope this helps

Strange - it's loading OK in my browser.

I guess the different URL is because it actually brings the pic across into the post.

Anyone else having trouble seeing it?

Yes, I'm afraid I can't see it either :-(

Not a tickle Bruce - browser tries to get the image but then times out. Not surprising as "http://1.2.3.11/bmi/farm4.static.flickr.com....." isn't a valid domain name as it contains '/' as well as '.'

Hooray, I thought, Bruce is putting photos on his blog at last. But, like others have commented, it's blank. I look forward to photos when you've sorted out the problem.

(Interesting word verification for this comment: "saill"!)

Hi

The 1.2.3.11/bmi is the proxy that T-Mobile uses to compress the image. I use T-Mobile on my phone and can see the image, but it cannot be seen by anyone not using the T-Mobile network.

OK, give me time and I'll have another play...

Right, this time I uploaded the image from my desktop into Blogger, so it's actually a Pikasa source now, I think.

If this doesn't work, I'll just have to settle for giving links to the album, I guess.

Obviously it's important as I'm hjopefully going to be uploading a lot of pix of SA in build over the next few months.

Feedback?

Cheers

Bruce
