How to put a picture as a caption of other picture (make picture captions on MySpace)?

Question:

 I have created an album on my MySpace profile and populated it with some cute photos. Now I would like to use an image (instead of some text) as a caption of the album’s pictures. Is it possible? if so, how?

Answer:

Yes it’s possible. I suggest you follow this procedure:

1. Upload the picture you would like to use as a caption to an Image Hosting Service such as Photobucket or FlickR (see steps 1-3 in the following how-to). Don’t forget to grab the URL of that picture, as provided by your Image Hosting Service.
2. Login to MySpace.com.
3. Navigate to your MySpace profile and click Add/Edit Photos.
4. Navigate to you album (I assumed that you already populated it with your photos. Click the View button next to your album.
5. Find the photo you would like to modify the caption for and click Edit Image.
6. In the caption box, type the following HTML code for MySpace: <img src=”http://photobucket.com/gili/picture012334455″> Replace the URL http://photobucket.com/gili/picture012334455 with the URL you grabbed in step 1, and don’t remove the “http://” prefix nor forget the quotation marks (All people that contacted me with mistakes to date had their URLs wrong).
7. Click Save.

That’s it. Post me a comment (and append the code you are trying to use, otherwise i won’t be able to assist) in case of questions

   -thank you-

10. on 31 Mar 2008 at 5:24 am10Megan

    Just do in between the = and the > is where you put your photo name thingy. If you’re using photobucket then use the “direct link” code. That should work. Worked for me!

20. on 10 Jun 2008 at 1:11 am20Amanda

    same with most people above those two little periods appear and i used a shrinking website to shrink the code and i tried using different uploading sites and nothing changed. . and i even double checked which was the right link. . i did get this to work once but i couldnt figure out why its not working for another different picture. i also tried to shrink the size of the second picture by using paint.

25. on 04 Jul 2008 at 5:44 am25about this picture background thingy

26. on 14 Jul 2008 at 5:25 am26vidy[lovesTOKIOHOTEL]

    Sometimes it works for me. And sometimes it doesn’t! Today i tried and it was a box with a red x. So I don’t understand. But then i tried it again and it worked. All you have to do is try it a few times to make it work i guess!:D

    Ok so I have tried this so many times that I lost count.
    All I get when I click save is she same code I put in. no picture. Why is it doing this and how do I fix it?
    Here is what I have been posting and getting back.

39. on 14 Jan 2009 at 12:11 am39Irene

    you have to do this code for it to work

    you have to change the “http://photobucket.com/gili/picture012334455″ and you
    can ajust the width and height and the bigger the number
    the bigger your pic..

    that honestly does work =]

40. on 22 Jan 2009 at 8:09 am40kara

    Every time I do the right begining codes, (before the image code) I get the violation of terms thing…HELP ME!!

41. on 23 Jan 2009 at 3:57 am41Alex

    Thanks for the tips, they really helped!

42. on 11 Feb 2009 at 10:30 pm42Beth

    u also can go to tinypic.com and click on an icon that u want(u can add pics and icons too) and while ur on the page after u click ur picture. then u click share on myspace. scroll down to the very bottom then. and u can either choose the full sized avatar, or the icon(a small version).

43. on 12 Feb 2009 at 5:50 pm43maggie

    Every time I get the HTML code, it comes up as a link. Not the picture.

    that’s the link I’m using.

44. on 22 Feb 2009 at 12:15 am44rachel

    hey i did exactly what you said for the picture caption, but it showed up as a small box with an ‘x’ in it

45. on 16 Mar 2009 at 9:52 pm45cristina

    hey i tried to put an image as a caption but cant get it right can you help???i dont know which code i have to use the email and Im or direct link or HTML code or the image code???

46. on 21 Apr 2009 at 7:36 pm46Shaylee

    I did that exactly, but when I go to the public view it just shows up as a red x where the picture should be. /: I’ve gone to a bunch of different sites trying to fix it but every one of them does the same. I asked people on my friends and they said that they can’t see it either.

47. on 26 Apr 2009 at 3:37 pm47McKinlee
