The Chinesepod picture post!

April 30, 2010, 07:22 PM posted in General DiscussionI've never been in a community before that doesn't have a picture post! It may be nothing to do with learning Chinese, but it's always nice to know what people look like ! (I know we have the little avatars, but it's not the same :-p ).
Since I'm not shy, this is me:
那显示你们的脸! Don't be shy :-) Or I can just post picture after picture of myself, and turn this discussion into a monument to my colossal vanity :-D
For those that don't know how to post images. Do this:
1) Find an image you like
2) Upload it to a suitable image hosting site, e.g. http://tinypic.com/
3) Put the image URL into your post with the following HTML code:
<img src="http://YOUR.IMAGE.URL.HERE">
4) Voila (hopefully!)
edit: sorry, the code and the image should work now!
edit2: Oh, if you are posting a new reply (not in a thread), you can just use the little "insert/edit image" button on the toolbar above your post!

that's OK, I know there are not just one but several Mickey Mouses working the events and parades and crowds in any given Disney theme park in the world. I know there is no Santa Claus. I know Jackie Chan doesn't actually do ALL his own stunts. I know ...

Thanks! My chubby dog is very happy now.

Lovely though your chubby dog is, I'd rather see a picture of you! Maybe with your chubby dog so he doesn't get jealous :)

April 30, 2010, 01:18 PMXL I still don't know what you look like, the "this is me" in your first post is followed by blank space, is that right?
I had some idea that your stylish avatar must be you as a kid, so I am disappointed that it's not!
