Hi Jeremy, I really appreciate the time and effort you put into making TW5 and trying to help me out. But after 7+ hours I give up for the moment. It is rather frustrating and at the moment I feel that TW5 might not be for people like me, reallll beginners, cause the jargon used here in the groups is a sort of javascript-incrowd language. Too many things are taken for granted. It is a great pity as TW5 is a most excellent piece of software that could be immensly helpful when I think about the shitty software I had and have to use at work. The flexibility is quite incredible, really. *I know it can work* To come back to this whole image business Link: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/tiddlywiki/TW5$20DropBox/tiddlywiki/J1opoHoBt8Y/II-BX06oy2cJ *Greg Davis** gives here an excellent example that what I want to accomplish will work. But he had to use *Identify Element* and *Edit in HTML.* If you know what to do fine. Actually Tobias described it as a pain. 8-)) Now I for the love of Pete wouldn't know how to do that. After some guesswork I opened the Inspector (I know nothing about that) and found the part relating to the image. Did a right-click and found in the little menu *Edit in HTML*. But after that? No idea. Or even befor that, for that matter. ** Thanks Greg!!* *Getting it seen on the net* As far as I can see now, Greg first shared a file, because of the *"/s/"* part. To get his TW file on the net via DropBox https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/hjdhlbvya1yyppf/ec4FNmB1.htm *To Show the picture inside* Inside the tiddler there is a shared folder,because I see the *"/sh/"* part trial six - image in shared dropbox folder - [img [https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/sh/h8q01y5kygoyhch/AADohj2X5FBnxMccuiLISCXva/images/lights.jpg]] Correct? But how to do that myself, beats me at the moment. Yes, I agree of course with you that a bloated TW with lotsa embedded pictures is not the way to go. Indeed Flickr and als0 PhotoBucket, as advised by Tobias is a better road. But now It's 03:18 and I have to wake up at 07:15AM Salut!
