AlessandraRC Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 This may sound really stupid but I can't find a way to share my Alamy pictures on google's blogger. I can share them to facebook, twitter etc but there is no way to share to blogger? Thanks if anyone can help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotoDogue Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 I'm not familiar with Blogger but I'd imagine you could just right click on the image, copy the URL, and paste it into the portion where you want it to appear. It's not not unlike the way people share Alamy photos on this forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Richmond Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Click and drag works on my Blogger blogs. One problem I have found is that Alamy can change the URL for an image over time so older posts can lose the image link. For that reason I tend to upload images from my own HD with my own watermark on rather than using Alamy watermarked images. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlessandraRC Posted August 5, 2016 Author Share Posted August 5, 2016 Thanks, but neither method works. When I copy the link and past on blogger, I get the message that the image may be protected by password security, and does not display. When I drag it over blogger, I get the msg that "This page contains HTTP resources which may cause mixed content affecting security and user experience if blog is viewed over" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotoDogue Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Maybe you need to upload directly to Blogger and then link back to Alamy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Richmond Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Sorry, you were right Alessandra, that doesn't work. Try this: Click on the Save preview button on your details page Alamy image and save it to your own computer. (Right click and Save image as does the same job). On your blogger post click the picture symbol and then choose the Upload option on the set of tabs at the top. Find your saved image and upload it. You'll then be able to add it in to your blog post.

fotoDogue Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Maybe Blogger disabled hot linking to discourage theft? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlessandraRC Posted August 6, 2016 Author Share Posted August 6, 2016 Well, folks, thanks for your help. I thought that there was an easy way that I could not figure out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I used the wordpress Photoshelter plugin to embed the images from my website, and added link to alamy port at end of post: http://fromlongisland.com/2014/01/meeting-alamy-ceo-james-west-brooklyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not had that happen. Not yet. I'm on a Mac and I've got two blogs on Blogger, and I use only Alamy watermarked images. It's been a while since I've posted anything new on either of those blogs, one a collection of essays and memoirs, the other a small display of Alamy stock. I think the way I did it was the same way I put images in this forum: I open two windows, one with my Alamy collection, the other where I want to insert the image (the forum or a Blogger blog). Then I just drag 'n drop the images in. I hope this still works. Blogger has changed its system once or twice over the years. http://edoruan.blogspot.com http://edoruan2.blogspot.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use both for various blogs. To the best of my (very limited knowledge) there's no Photoshelter plugin for Blogger, only Wordpress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
