About the Image-ination Word Jams & Posting Guidelines
Posted: April 21st, 2005, 4:26 pm
Note - December 2008..... This forum used to be for planned events. It is now a regular part of the forums. Feel free to participate any time. Previous Jam posts were locked after the jam events were over, but I have unlocked them so you can reply to them also.
The purpose of the Image-ination Jams is to share photography and artwork and be inspired to write by the photography and artwork of others.
Here's how the Jams will work here.
1
Your images must reside on the web somewhere. We do not have upload capabilities here on the S8 boards. You will need to have a URL for the image itself. Open the image in a new browser window. Copy the URL for the image, then use the Img tags at the top of the posting window. Click the image tag two times. Two tags will appear in your posting window. One is the opening image tag, the other is the close image tag. Paste the URL for your image between the two bracketed tags and post. It's that easy!
If you don't have your images on the web, try this
http://photobucket.com/
Or do a google search for free image & photo hosting.

If you'd like to post an image during the Jam, start a new thread with the image. Title your image "Jam #1 (or 2 or 3, etc.) - Name of Thread"
3
Reply to the images posted by others or yourself with words. The thread will be Image, then words. Jam to the image. Let the image inspire you or the words of others in the thread.
4
The Image-ination Jams will consist of multiple threads, each beginning with an image. You can post to any of the threads open during the day of the Jam.
5
Proper credit must be given to the creator of the image. If the image resides on someone else's website, if someone else created it and not you, you must get permission from the owner of the image in order to use it. You also need to link to the site where you got it and name the creator of the image to credit their work.

Image size requirements - Please try to make sure your images are sized down to fit well on the screen. It takes a long time for an image to load for some slower connections. As a guideline, use the width of the banner at the top of the page. Your image should not exceed that width which is a little over 9 inches. If you do not have an image resizing application go to http://download.com and do a search for "photo editing" software. There are many free photo editors out there. If you are unsuccessful resizing your images small, you may go ahead and post them, but be aware that many are on slower connections and will not want to wait for them to load.
If you have any questions, feel free to email me or pm me and I'd be happy to attempt answers.
Jam to the image....... Image-ine That! Experimental Internet....
