For your consideration:

Perhaps your reading of Rantburg
Sometimes has you reading the absurd
Yet information is stated
The snark is top graded
The knowledge of it's words is heard

Yea, here comes a bleg, asking for money. You don't have to play...

Offering only words for the asking of that money -- but this is one place that five/ten/twenty bucks will buy you a cup of your choice of a Mornin' Joe as you read your daily subscription of the Rantburg Scrimitar & Time-Picayne with comments by GolfBravoUSMC that can be found..... well, nowhere else..... only in Rantburg.....

And, you get all the refills you want, every click thereafter..... unless you choose to pay up the next time you hear from me.....

Take control of that mouse and have it move that arrow thingy down, watching the right hand side of your screen to that blue shining Rantburg graphic. Pretty, isn't it?

And just for a second, feel that inner smile, knowing you are a part of all of this -- As a commenter or a reader, you are a part.

Click on that DONATE button below that shining blue Rantburg graphic and donate to the Knowledge of Rantburg with PayPal or a credit card of your choice.

Non PayPal or credit card person?

No problem -- post a comment -- Fred takes checks, cash, gummy bears.. oooops never mind on those gummy bears.... Michelle called and he can't take those any more....

Through email we'll figure out a way to get your money.

Step up Rantburgers -- we are truly in a battle.

#13  Uncle Phester :
Generally the graphic can not come from one on your computer, but rather from another website that "permanently" contains the graphic, preferably the Rantburg web site.

How do you get the address of the graphic ? Go to "the post your own article" on the left hand side you will see a list of the graphics available on Rantburg - click in the one you want - copy the script and insert it in the comments section. It will look like this - img src='/images/3dg.gif' align='right' valign='top'


(I omitted the symbols < and > at the beginning and end of the computer script or you would not be able to read these instructions. )


After you have pasted the address of the graphic
click the Preview button to see if it appears in the comments dialog preview. If it does you are good to go.
It will look like this -

A more complicated method involves a search engine like Bing or Google - In the comments box on Rantburg at the far right is an icon that looks like this -

click on it.

up comes some computer script that looks like this - img src= valign=top align=right /

(Remember to put symbols < and > at the beginning and end of the computer script)

In the area - img src= - after the first =, paste the address of your graphic.

How do I get the address on Bing? - Right click on the graphic you want - up will come a dropdown menu, go down to "properties" in the dropdown - click on it - copy the "address" from the dialog box, which pops up. Paste the "address" of the graphic after the = in - img src= -

Uncle Phester this was my gif-t to you
