Imgur Thumbnail Howto and Fresh Pictures from my Garden
I took pictures of insects in my garden yesterday.
I'm quite happy about them - this is my first real camera.
I wanted to share them and realised: the files are very heavy in size.
I use imgur.com as a host for my pictures.
For posting on Steemit, I didn't want to include the full-sized pictures.
If this is your normal direct link:
http://i.imgur.com/originalpicture.jpg
Then this is a large thumbnail of it:
http://i.imgur.com/originalpicturel.jpg
By adding an 'l' to the filename, you automatically get a large thumbnail for it.
This is how i made the link to the full-sized version:
[Link to full size](http://i.imgur.com/originalpicture.jpg)
I also want to share this picture as a large thumbnail:
This is how I made it 'clickable':

This is how I center things:
<center>thing</center>
Here are some more pictures, with medium thumbnails - presented as a table :
| More insects; | ladybug |
|---|---|
 |  |
This is how i made the table ( also clickable ):
column 1 | column 2
--- | ---

List of imgur.com filename suffixes:
| suffix | function |
|---|---|
| s | small square |
| b | big square |
| t | small thumnbnail |
| m | medium thumbnail |
| l | large thumbnail |
I'm not exactly sure what the dimensions are.
This post is also to test it.
Here is a picture of a hornet, with the b suffix.
Also centered and hyperlinked to the original:
Picture of a bumblebee with t suffix (centered and clickable):
This is how I have done it:

In the end, I like large thumbnail the most, so I will end with one:
I hope you liked the pictures, found this helpful and maybe I could inspire you to save your readers some bandwidth by posting a scaled version of your HD photos.
Thank you for reading,
have a great day !
Right on :) I use imgur in this way as well - it works great :^)
Nice Beautiful Flowers, what species are they?
I have no idea.
They shoot up everywhere in my garden and flower from june till octobre, it seems.
Take photos of the plants and leaves flowers closeup
Here you can see the leaves in the background.
They are very thin.
The plant is about 1 meter high.
I know, who to ask - I can tell you later, what the plant is called, if we haven't found out by then.
A location would be nice, searching now, but no luck.
Latin name: Verbena
Quick as a Flash
Verbena bonariensis (purpletop vervain)
South America natives wildflowers
