how to put an image in your profile!!

hi!! i made this post to help someone out, but i figured new spacehey users would also find this helpful !!
This post is specificaly how to take the graphics from my graphics collection since i use a different image hosting site than most people.

As a disclaimer, I'm writing this using Chrome and a computer. This tutorial is also for using images from MY graphics collection specifically, where I use https://postimages.org/ to host all of my images.

To start:


1. Find the image you want to use. Right click and press open in new tab.







2. It should bring you to a page that looks like this.





3. Highlight everything until the last slash BEFORE the https://






4. Now delete that and press enter. You should go to a page that looks like this....
I know it looks very similar to the one from before, but look at the url. It's different.

This is the direct image link. Copy the direct image link. (If your page looks more like this, scroll down towards the bottom. The procedure is a little different)






5. Now that you have copied the direct image link, go to where on your profile you want to put the image. I'm gonna put mine in the  "Who I'd like to meet" section since that's where I put all of mine!! But images and HTML code work in every section of your profile editor.






6. Type in this code:
<img src="URL">
You MUST put the quotation marks!!!
Replace the words URL with the direct image link.
You can save here and be done! But if you want to change the size...






7. If you want to change the size of the image to be the same one I have, use this code:
<img src="URL" width="number" height="number">
My blinkies are all 150x20, my stamps are 99x56, and my buttons are 88x31.
(Most blinkies and buttons already come pre-sized, so you probably don't need to do that.)






8. Now press Save All on your profile editor, and you should be done!!!






Remember this??? Yeah of course you do!! Here is what to do if when you press "open image in new tab" it looks like this.




You want to right click this as well and press open in new tab.








The page you go to should look like this. Now you can proceed from step 4 where you copy the direct image link.




 Yaaaay we did it!!!
