I'd just like to say thanks to you for drawing a beautiful pictrue of a Gecko for my Entry on Day Geckos (A3694935). Also did you do the Gecko head which was on the front page? How can I get the code for there pictures as I'd like to put them on my PS?
Thanks again,

I used to go and look for the picture in the gallery, so I'd have the blob number to put on my personal space. Finally I got smart and downloaded the picture from the page to my hard drive. The file name that it gives for the graphic will be the blob number. Just put it in the code, and you're set to go.
Thank You

And yup, the gecko head is mine too. You're very welcome - I like drawing animals, and especially lizards. Geckos are especially cute.
Thank You

I think they've started naming the graphics, instead of assigning a number to them. So you should get a filename like 'gecko.gif.' Use this code (below) and substitute 'gecko' for 'greattit' and you should get a picture of the gecko on your page.
I didn't see the gecko on the list of pictures in the 'Animal' category, and I didn't see my vulture picture there either. I know that sometimes they take a while to update everything, so if you can't find a graphic, it's easier sometimes to find the article and get the filename from it.
Thank You

YAY it works thanks, but one more problem is the gecko head which was on the front page how do I get the file name for that?
Thank You

You'll have to scroll through this page to find the month your article ran in, and then download the graphic from that page to figure out what the filename is.

Of course, before you try that, just try 'gecko_sm.gif' as it's the naming convention for the front page graphic. But keep the front page archive handy, anyway - it's useful for all sorts of things.
Thank You
