Tarot events reminder and feedback
Jun. 19th, 2017 09:03 pmHi everyone,
Imzy has now closed for posting and our next tarot event will be hosted here this Wednesday. The post should be open from around 10am GMT.
I thought this might be a good time to check in with everyone and ask whether Wednesdays are still okay for most people. If something's not right we can try to change it for next week! I also know that many of our members are from the US and so posting the event posts early in my UK morning is pretty useless to them - should it be changed?

Birth cards
Jun. 11th, 2017 05:33 pmA while ago I made some pictures meant to explain how birthcards are calculated. Here they are:


(also in a post on tumblr)
Here's a link to a card calculator so you don't have to do the math.
Do you guys know about birthcards? What do you think of them? Do you like yours?

Posting images
Jun. 8th, 2017 10:40 amSeeing as concerns about image posting are frequently expressed by our community members, allow me to provide you with this handy guide by Dreamwidth itself:
From what I've tried, links to images saved in Tumblr drafts, sent through Facebook messenger or through email all seem to work. I won't be making this post a sticky post but I'll link to it every time there is a reading event. On other occasions, it should be easy to find in the "posting help" tag.
How do I post an image in an entry?
To post an image in an entry, the image needs to be located on the internet. An image on your computer won't display to other users.
Dreamwidth has an image hosting service that you can use to host your images. There are also free image hosting services such as Flickr (by Yahoo!), Instagram, or Photobucket. You can also upload the image to your own webspace. Images posted on Facebook generally won't work in a Dreamwidth entry.
To post an image, you'll need to know the image location URL. In most browsers, you can get the image location by right-clicking on the image and choosing "Copy image location" or "Copy image address".
The HTML tag to post an image is
.
Replace IMAGE URL with the image's URL.
To make your entries more accessible to people who can't view images, add a text description (also known as "alt text") to the image tag. To post an image with alt text, use the HTML tag
If you use Dreamwidth's image hosting, any text included in the Short Description field will be used as alt text in the HTML the site gives you to post. We have some tips on writing alt text that will help your descriptions be as useful as possible to people who can't view images.
