Well, I'll admit I just couldn't resist the temptation of seeing how my NYC passenger car set looks running around one of the valleys in my layout, since i still haven't purchased the proper locomotives I used B&O traction, I placed the pictures in the Gallery album named Running The valley,


Hey lazaro, a link to the

Ooops, InnocentThanks Bryan, I'm placing a picture from the gallery, i suppose it works the same way

I think Bryan's point is;

I think Bryan's point is; if you refer to images added to your Gallery, it would be nice if you inserted a link to your Gallery in the post, rather than just saying "it's there"... this saves readers having to search out your Gallery amongst the many others... kind of a courtesy thing, and increases the chances of readers actually looking at them.

It need only be something as simple as; " I've added images of my layout to the "running of the valley" folder in my Album."


Thanks for the comment,

Thanks for the comment Bryan, I'm ashamed to say I tried using the link special syntax instructions, and could not understand well enough, to beguine, what is a URL? and considering that if a picture is placed from the gallery, and anybody clicks on it, it will take you to the album, I reasoned it would work the same; if the way I expressed myself isn't proper enough, please excuse me, but Spanish is my first language and I do not get that much of a chance to use my English continuously, and by the way, the face I placed on the text is suppose to reflect innocent stupidity, specially since I do feel that way, not being able to do it properly, sorry again... I'm trying, and really feel all you fellas are a great team doing a fantastic job helping us out.

Well, lazaro, your English

Well, lazaro, your English is really very, very good! Actually, far better than that used by many who claim it as their first language!

URL stands for Universal Resource Locator and is typically the entire web address of any specific page. For example, the URL for this page is: http://www.nscale.net/blog-entry/lazaro/2008/06/18/running-valley while the URL for the home page of this site is http://www.nscale.net.

I also have have problems getting the URL thingy to work correctly! However, I now use Windows Live Writer to compose all my stuff and it does it for me very nicely!

You are also right in that a link serves every bit well as an inserted picture is getting readers to your gallery but a link has the advantage of pointing to the entire gallery rather than to one individual picture! If you have trouble getting the URL option to work, just use the URL itself.

As another example you might have said something like: "I have added a few pictures to the running of the valley folder in my gallery. You may find them here: http://www.nscale.net/index.php?q=gallery&g2_itemId=53257 ".

The URL for the current page may usually (there are a few exceptions) be found in the address bar of your browser where you can select, copy and then paste!

Hope this helps clears some things up!


Thanks again Bryan, now I
