http://morganlogan.com/muertos/ is the address for the cover of Dia de los Muertos. I tried to add it but was flummoxed.
- Adding pictures works like this: You save the picture to your own computer (right mouse click), then you upload it to Fanlore (you find "Upload file" under "Toolbox"), then you copy the address of the uploaded file (looks something like this: Image:Ashton press redemption.jpg) and add it to the page where you want to add it. Formatting it as a normal wiki link will show the picture in full size. If you format it like this Image:Ashton press redemption.jpg|thumb before formatting it as a wiki link, it will appear as a thumbnail. Image:Ashton press redemption.jpg|thumb|add your description here will add text to the thumbnail.--Doro 10:29, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
- I saved a cover to my desktop, but it has an extension that doesn't fit the profile: EBayISAPI_hello.dll.webarchive.
- How do I give it an ending (gif, jpeg) that will be compatible? Mrs. Potato Head 11:47, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
- Huh. I have no idea. When I go to that page and right mouse click on the picture, I get a menu that offers among other things the option "save graphic as" (or whatever the English version is, mine is not in English) and when I do that, it saves it in jpeg format. However, as it is the cover artwork (as opposed to a picture of the zine), fairly huge, and presented in a way one would present a single piece of fanart, it might be better to resize it to something much smaller so that it doesn't "compete" with the artwork on the author's page. If you know the name of the artist and where a picture is from, you could add that to the file description when you upload the picture. At least that's how I try to handle it when I upload something.--Doro 13:18, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
