The very last test.

[susandennis]

This is gracegiver's fault. I was all ready to abandon hope when she said in a comment that I was tenacious. Challenge excepted. For one more round of tries.

test 1



test 2



Regardless of what gracegiver says now, if neither of these work, I am done. I'll stick with Yahoo until Verizon kills it.

I can see them both now. Although I'm wondering why someone would get a Costco hotdog and not put sauerkraut on it! That is my favorite thing about their hot dogs...

[susandennis]

whoa! thanks!!

[susandennis]

I didn't see any sauerkraut! I've never seen any there. Next time I'm going to ask.

[lostincandyrain.livejournal.com]

You have to ask. A long time ago they used to have dispensers, but now you have to ask for it, and they give it to you in little containers, which isn't nearly as good as the dispensers were, but I'm always excited about sauerkraut.

[susandennis]

good to know! thanks

[theidolhands.livejournal.com]

You are a person after my own heart ~

[lostincandyrain.livejournal.com]

You know you've had an easy life when one of your most traumatic memories is of the day you went to Costco, and they'd removed the sauerkraut dispenser. ;)

[legalmoose]

Those two work, unlike the others. :)

[susandennis]

hmmmmm thanks!!

[gracegiver]

Go you!!

(i'm not surprised one bit, you got this baby working)

[susandennis]

it's all your fault! (and... thanks!)

[roasted-beets.livejournal.com]

What did you do differently?

[susandennis]

Followed the directions I found here:

https://sites.google.com/site/picasaresources/Home/Picasa-FAQ/google-photos-1/how-to/how-to-get-a-direct-link-to-an-image

Basically, take the humongus URL that Google gives you (the one that ends in no and change the no to either no-?.jpg or no-tmp.jpg. This test is one of each and they both seem to work.

I'm going to give it about a week and make sure the URL still works before I declare victory.

[theidolhands.livejournal.com]

ermahgad, I saw hotdogs when I first showed up like three minutes ago and now...grey circle with a line!!

[susandennis]

Yeah, that's why I'm going to let this test go for a week before I make any changes.

Same - just circle and line. I think the '-tmp' means that's not gonna work since it will go away. They don't aim to be a hosting service for other sites, I don't think.

If you have Dropbox you can share individual items from there, though it's a pain.

Google photos? As far as I can tell they're not offering embed, just links. :(

[susandennis]

bummer. Yep, I get that they don't offer what I want, but I keep thinking they really do but just don't advertise.

Yeah, I just dumped all Drobox - way too painful. I actually have a host for my website with plenty of room but, yeah, also a pain. That's probably what I'll do when Flickr pulls the plug.

[onelargecat.livejournal.com]

Yep...when I first saw this post I saw the photos, now I just see the gray circle.

[pinmedown.livejournal.com]

hmm :( these dont work for me

[susandennis]

okdokey. thank you. put a fork in me, i'm done

[ladythmpr.livejournal.com]

None of the tests have worked for me, though I have been able to see all the other pictures in the past few days.

[nick-101.livejournal.com]

I don't see any pictures. :(

[mdlbear]

It's never worked for me. However, I have an ad/tracker blocker, and that may be the reason.

[roasted-beets.livejournal.com]

I still see them.

[fflo.livejournal.com]

I don't see 'em, in Firefox or in Chrome.

[roasted-beets.livejournal.com]

and now I don't. :(
