external links won't work

Unless you provide a link to a page demonstrating the problem, no one will be able to offer much in the way of assistance.

OK,

( the youtube link works just fine)

Thanks for looking.

So no one can help me with this issue?

Do I have any other option to resolve this or is this all I can get? I’m trying to be patient but no help at all does not really help.
I have tried and tried and tried to link to Picasa and it does not work. Youtube works fine. What is the issue please, anyone? What have I missed?

It seems the links used by you do not exist. Just click on the links and see.

Thank you for replying.

This is how I got those links;
log in to Picasa, click on my albums, copy the link that appears in the navigation bar, paste it into the address box to establish the link on the WP page.

The problem for me is, when I check the link on this Mac, they work. When I check them on my PC, I get the same message you do. I guess there is another way o get the link to the Picasa page, but I have searched there as well. I am at a total loss.

Thanks again.

When I click on an image (in picasa), over on the right I can find a ‘link to this photo’ option, which gives me a URL formed like below

I believe you are giving a private URL that only works for logged in users. Does this link work for you?

https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/GU6pr84YOIkn5srz31DDUdMTjNZETYmyPJy0liipFm0?feat=directlink

I believe the photo would need to be public, and you need the public URL using the link feature

Yes Rev., the link works.

OK, I’ll try making the albums public. I’ve looked for that already, I’ll look again.

Thanks very much!

Scott

Yup, that was the problem. That also explains why the Youtube link worked and why it worked on my computer.

I knew I would get the answer here, eventually. Thanks very much Rev!

Scott

no problem!
