How do I add an image to a journal entry?
* Find the image online that you want to use, right-click on the image (hold down Ctrl while clicking on a Mac) and select "Copy Image Location." This copies the exact Web address of your photo.
* Go to my big tent > profile > journal and choose "Create an entry."
* Set the "Upload from" drop-down box to "Web link" and paste the image address in the URL field.
* Click "Post."
You can also click "Switch to Rich Text Editor" to add HTML, embed videos, and use special formatting and fonts. Please note: The Rich Text Editor is not available for Safari users.
How do I add video to an entry?
* Go to my bigtent > profile > journal and choose click "Create an entry."
* Choose "switch to Rich - Text Editor" (while in Firefox and IE only) and click the film strip icon to provide a link to the video.
* Alternatively, you can copy and paste code into the body of the journal entry to embed a video (e.g., from YouTube).
* Just like with photos, videos come in a variety of formats. The rich text editor supports Flash, Quicktime, Shockwave, Windows Media, and Real media formats. In order for your video to be embedded properly, you must choose the right file type.
* Note: All YouTube videos are Flash videos. When you're on the General tab for adding media, make sure you choose "Flash" as your file type.
