Can anyone advise me how to post photos on ChinesePod from inside China, without the use of a VPN?  I originally used Picasa on the Web but that appears to be off limits now.  :-( 

All in a good cause .. I have some signs I would like to receive comment on.

I can acces flickr no problem, but I would also like to know how to post photos in the comments sections (my photos seem to bigger than the designated pixel size or something...)

waiguoren,

Just copy the url address of the photo and then click on the second icon from the right above and paste in the url address box.Yeah,the pixel limit is 425 for the first box.If the size of my pic is larger than that I just put 425 in the first box and then then guestimate what the other dimension should be to keep it in proportion.Works fine every time.

@Barbs

Much appreciated. As waiguoren says we can get to flickr.  Now my photos are well spread all over the Internet (MySpace, Facebook, Picasa, Blogger, now Flickr) but not to worry.

Signs - what do you reckon? I have a good one to start - I'll put it up in a moment.  

@waiguoren

In flickr you have to choose a size (I chose 'small' a moment ago as a test), and copy the photo's url, down the bottom, not in your browser.  Hope that makes sense.  Then in ChinesePod you paste the url up the top, and the dimensions automatically appear in the window below.  Hope that works for you.
