Noooooo, I'm not drawing you a picture on how to be a better submissive to your Dominant partner, that's for another forum. What I want to explain is a few methods you can use to post your illustrated or concrete submissions to Literotica. It's pretty well known that you can upload an image file directly into the upload field of the Literotica submission form. There's a slightly less-known alternative procedure that provides a quicker gratification as well.

You can use HTML tags to embed your illustration into your submission. First upload and attach your file to a thread here at Literotica or you can use a free image service like photobucket as well; they will provide the HTML coding in one of the fields below the thumbnail in your album.

Once the image is uploaded and you can open it in an explorer window; then copy the image url into your paste buffer. To do so, highlight the web address, right click on it and select "copy" from the drop down menu or use ctrl C key combo to add it in. Use the following illustration to guide you in embedding the image into your story/poem file submission here at Literotica:
Code:
<a href="the image url here"><img src="the image url here"></a> 
It is very important to surround the http://www.webadress.letters with the quote marks.
You can include text in and/or above and below the image. Make certain you include an explanation of what the link is for in the notes field of the submission form. I usually say: The link included in the text block ie - http://www.whatever is the url for a free use (or original) image. I like to submit work this way because you have an instant preview of how it will appear on Lit.

Another option is to prepare a word document file with clip art or your own photos arranged through out the work and then upload the file to the submission form. Again make note that the file is for an illustrated submission using original or free use images.

If there are problems with the submission, the site owners and editors will contact you on your Login User Options index page, since illustrated and audio files are added by hand.

Some handy links are:
very cool tools for multimedia and concrete poetry creation - Image Chef

for successful examples of illustrated and concrete work - pic-a-thon and Illustrated Poetry

From our own sadly absent (just for now, I hope) Jamison/neonurotic, a How-To - Poetry with Pictures

Please note: once you use an image source url address that pic or file can't be deleted without damaging the appearance of the resulting Literotica submission.

As always, if you have any other non-commercial, free-registration links or good ideas please include them on this thread so that we can make this a really valuable reference resource to share with everyone.

You rock. :)
 
Oh goody you found the 'How to' that I wanted but your 'Ilustrated poetry' link doesn't work
 
Thanks Annie. I fixed it in my post and I'll repeat the links here,

Image Chef
pic-a-thon II
Illustrated Poetry
Poetry with Pictures
eta:
New Illustrated Poetry Thread
Picture This Poem Challenge
November Poetry Challenge: Ekphrastic Poetry
eta2: Paint.net is a fun image editing program that is FREE. Visit the website, and download the latest version. There's a text instruction guide on the site. A bunch of tutorial videos can be found on youtube as well, just search "paint.net tutorial." It's a wee bit complicated but well worth learning since (I find anyway) the writers of the program have included the best features of Microsoft/Windows Paint and Adobe Photoshop in one package, FOR FREE! Anyway, check it out.

If anyone has anymore to add, please feel free!

just helped, thanks. I did not know you could preview in this manner. Some of my illustrated stuff looks like crap because it was a crap shoot to post. Issue resolved with the html--by where do I put my nekky pics I want to use, any suggestions? Free mainstream hosts block them. And they are tasteful nudes.

I have formatted the relevant technique to answer your concerns in the quoted post below.

I wasn't clear. What needs to be said is thank you :heart:. I submitted the way you suggested in the first post, and it works perfectly. The poem sits in wait until Lit does the once a month illustrated push.

The issue I have is that many free hosting sites block nudes, so I need to research a site that will host them. I do not like using the upload server because you never know what you will get.

I am sorry I took so long to reply... I have found that if I set my photobucket account settings to "private" I'm allowed a much greater leeway in the images I post and I can still link to them in order to use the images as I wish...
