Putting Images on Your Staffy Club Pages

Putting Image on Your Personal Staffyclub Pages

Linking to images on your personal Staffordshire Bull Terrier club pages is not like putting a link on a forum which uses a different code.

When linking to images on Staffyclub you have to use proper html formatting.

This is how the link would look:

<img src=”PUTYOURIMAGELINKINHERE”>

If you want to make the image smaller without editing the actual image you can make it like this:

<img src=”PUTYOURIMAGELINKINHERE” height=”75% width=”75%”>

Or in pixels:

<img src=”PUTYOURIMAGELINKINHERE” height=”400″ width=”400″>

Experiment a little with the sizes until you get the right height and width. You don’t want to be uploading pics that are too big or it will break the layout of your personal page, which will look crap :shock:

If pics are massive then you should always resize before uploading to Staffyclub, this includes your blog images. Here’s a free tool you can use to resize them:

A good idea is to upload any images you want to use to Photobucket and then take the link from photobucket and paste it into the above html code to show your image on your Staffyclub page.

Or, if the image is one of your Staffy photos or personal pics you can copy the link from your gallery page. You can find the direct link to your pics by visiting your gallery and clicking on any of your pics. The image link is just below the picture.

Some members have been pasting images into their profiles to show their favourite films and books, like I have done at my page: http://www.staffyclub.com/Admin

In this case, you should upload your pics to photobucket first then copy the link.

If you have any questions please post them in the comments below.

New Look and Themes

New Staffyclub Look and Themes

As you may have noticed I have added a new look to our Staffordshire Bull Terrier club.

You can now choose between 4 themes to use as your Staffyclub design. You can access these at the left hand side of your own account page.

Please note: If you have already added a background image or a Myspace layout to your personal page then the theme will not show.

You should now find that all your options for the site are now handy and accessible from your main account page.

Some members have been having problems uploading songs. I currently have someone looking into that. In the meantime, if you do get an error, try changing the name of the mp3 file.

I have noticed that our membership number are picking up too. I don’t know of this is since the new design but we had 7 new members today. We are only just starting.

If you want to help out you could add a link to our site when you are creating and uploading your Youtube videos. You can add our site address to the video itself or in the text of the video description when uploading to youtube.

I will be adding more site features soon and will keep you all updated.

A New Mood and Status Section Added

Sunday, February 24th, 2008

staffyclub Posted:

What’s Your Mood and Status?

You can now tell us what your mood is and what you are up to, which will be posted on your personal Staffy club page.

To do this just go to your account page and scroll down the page. There you will be able to add your mood and status. Once added you can see it on your own club page.

I hope you find this a fun addition to the club. All users can use this function.
