Favorites for all!

Alex — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 17:52:23 +0000

Today we are happy to announce we have brought back Favorites for everyone. In the past we had allowed people to favorite images and videos when not logged in. We removed this featured shortly after launching accounts. Well, we’ve brought it back. You can now click “Add to Favorites” on any of the pages with this option and save the image or video to your favorites. If you are not currently logged into an account, favorites will be saved as a cookie on your computer. So be careful! If you delete your cookies, your favorites will go away.

We would like to note that if you have favorites and then register or login, your favorites will be automatically loaded into your account.

In addition to bringing back Favorites, we have also started cleaning up the site a bit. We are working on adding some more useful features in the near future. We hope to be coming out with a custom code generator so you people who like to use your images with CSS or want linkable thumbnails will be able to generate these codes. Please keep an eye out in the upcoming weeks for these things!

Go Flock yourself!

Al — Wed, 24 Dec 2008 17:33:17 +0000

Seriously. You really should get Flock for yourself. Think of it as a holiday gift!
Flock is a web browser that integrates with TinyPic and other image sharing and social sites. It lets you publish up to 1000 photos to TinyPic at one time! After you download the Flock browser, and install it, you are ready to go.

Open the Flock browser.
Log into your TinyPic account. You can:
- Enter the web address (http://tinypic.com) and log in.
- Click the Log in button below the TinyPic logo on the Flock – Getting Started page (if this page displays).
- Click the key icon near the top left to open the Accounts and Services sidebar, then click TinyPic, and log in.
Click the Open Photo Uploader icon . The Photo Uploader displays:
Drag images from the flock browser to the Photo tab. Or, click Choose Photos at the top left to choose images from your computer.
Select the account to which you want to upload photos using the drop-down list at the bottom right. If you have only logged into your TinyPic account, that is the only account that you can choose.
Click Upload, and choose your upload settings.
Click Upload. Your selections are uploaded to your TinyPic account.
Click Open the Mediabar to show the mediabar and your new uploads. Click back to uploader to upload more images.

Gravatars are Grrrrreat!

tinypicblog — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 00:23:02 +0000

I’ll start with a definition of what a Gravatar is. A gravatar, or globally recognized avatar, is quite simply an avatar image that follows you from site to site appearing beside your name on gravatar enabled sites. The most popular place I’ve seen them used are on blogs and in comments.

Tinypic will now recognize yor Gravatar if you have one setup and show it when you share your account with others. It’s a nice way to personalize your account, especially with your favorite theme.

A Gravatar on Tinypic

To setup your gravatar;

1) If you have a Tinypic account and a Gravatar, do nothing. It just works.

Otherwise;

1) Sign up for a tinypic account, - http://tinypic.com/join.php

2) Setup your Gravatar, - http://en.gravatar.com/

3) Enjoy some nice holiday cookies while everyone else enjoys your Tinypic album page! (Cookies are a recurring theme today)

Thanks to the folks at Gravatar for having such an easy service!

Mmmmm…. Cookies!

tinypicblog — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 18:15:16 +0000

I came across the blog “Eat at Home, Everyday Food for Busy People” and the great recipe for Amish Oatmeal cookies they posted using photos they uploaded to Tinypic.com. I am now hungry for cookies.

Let us know if you have some yummy holiday treats you’d like to share with the world.
