I'm trying to add an image to this Freebase Topic: https://www.freebase.com/m/0w7kcd6?props= (The image I want to add is the image currently used in the linked wikipedia article, as well as the signature). The menu to the left of /common/topic/image that appears when clicking on the yellow down arrow doesn't provide any option. Here Adding images through the new Freebase UI doesn't work a user answers that you can upload from Wikipedia, but how do you do it?
Freebase doesn't allow uploading of images any more. If they still upload images from Wikipedia, it's at their discretion, not based on any type of external signal.

We have the ability current to share current articles on our site by clicking on the sharing icon. This loads up a URL like:
https://www.linkedin.com/sharing/share-offsite/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mydomain.com%2Fbuild-to-suit-leases-0419%2F
What's odd, is that the image that is loaded up from the OG:Image sometimes is very large while other times it's displayed as a small icon/banner layout. But in either case, the image is the exact same size and format which is used. The browser we use doesn't make a difference. I've also found that if I wait for the linked cache to clear and try to share the link again, it can give me a different layout.
Is there something else I can provide in that URL to specify the desired layout?
I think this was already answered here:
LinkedIn share requirements (BIG image)
But
Take a look at this link
https://www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/answer/46687/making-your-website-shareable-on-linkedin?lang=en
So the recommended ratio of your image should be 1.91:1.
Do you have a working link for the URL you want to share?
I had problems before with it because we had something generating dynamic images and that was causing linkedin to display them little.
You can also add more meta tags to it like:
og:image:width - The number of pixels wide.
og:image:height - The number of pixels high.
More info about extra meta tags can be found here

All:
I'm trying to configure a website I administer to be pinnable in Windows 8.1/IE11 with a live tile. The first time I went through http://www.buildmypinnedsite.com and it's documentation and provided the RSS feed, I noticed with some surprise that one of the articles in the RSS feed (the only one which had images in the content) actually used one of the images as a background for the live tile (when that article was displayed), with smaller text at the bottom of the tile, over a translucent dark background.
Check the last image at http://blog.laptopmag.com/how-to-create-a-windows-8-1-live-tile-for-your-website for an example. That article mentions, "as long as your RSS feed has images in it, the tile will rotate through your most recent five articles with images".
I really liked the look of using images instead of a solid color and plain text, so since all my articles have a banner image associated with them in our CMS (though not necessarily actually in the content), I updated the RSS feed to include an <img> tag at the top of the content (<description>) embedding the banner right at the top of the content. I also added the banner as an <enclosure> on each <item>. I added some padding characters to the GUIDs so that it would see the content as "new", but the live tile continued showing four articles with just text and a colored background, and the single article with the same background image.
Several weeks have now passed, lots of new articles posted, and yet still the live tile continues to cycle through the articles just showing text.
Windows 8 prepare site for pinning has lots of good information and links to documentation, which I've gone through, but I can't find any more information about how the images should be "included" in the feed in order for them to be pulled in as backgrounds. Am I missing it somewhere?
Thanks for your time and help!
P.S. The <description> field in my XML contains the full article HTML (just the article, no sidebars, headers, etc of course), wrapped in a <![CDATA[]]> tag, in case you're wondering.
I'm looking into this exact problem too (the main difference: I've a partial feed, not a full-content one).
The only reference I could find is msapplication-TileImage http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ie/dn255024%28v=vs.85%29.aspx#msapplication-TileImage :
<meta name="msapplication-TileImage" content="images\tileimage.jpg">
This, of course, is just a suboptimal "one image for all" solution.
Ok, I finally got it right.
The key (thanks #james3mg ) was to drop the RSS-based approach completely and go for IE11 specific XML of the tiles feature.
So I used this:
<meta name="msapplication-notification"
content="frequency=60;
polling-uri={$SiteURL}tiles/1;id=1;
polling-uri2={$SiteURL}tiles/2;id=2;
polling-uri3={$SiteURL}tiles/3;id=3;
polling-uri4={$SiteURL}tiles/4;id=4;
polling-uri5={$SiteURL}tiles/5;id=5;
cycle=1"/>
You can see those XML here :
turbolab.it/tiles/1
turbolab.it/tiles/2
turbolab.it/tiles/3
turbolab.it/tiles/4
turbolab.it/tiles/5
The complete list of the available template is here: The tile template catalog (Windows Store apps)
I've looked a looked and looked for the perfect rotating banner for my website I am creating and I found flex slider, of which I love as it gives you the circled just underneath and the left and right arrows as well. The option for face or slide is what I was looking for too, however I need a plugin that allows the user to upload an image to the banner like Useful banner Manager. (I'm not using UBM as I don't what each banner image to fade to white and then to the next image, but that's how it acts).
Does anyone know a great rotating banner plugin that is easy to follow for wordpress newbies (as this will be integrated into the websites I create for clients) either free or premium?
OR do you know how I might just add the upload option to the flex slider plugin?
If you know the data format that the Flex Slider uses you can simply create a custom post type called 'Banner', restrict the various stock metaboxes, leaving say, only the editor and media upload. Then your clients can simply create new 'banners' by creating a new banner post, and uploading its associated image. This is a nice, simple and easy to understand interface for clients, making it easy for them to add, remove, edit banners.
Then simply do a get_posts on your banners and provide the Flex slider with data in a format it expects.
This has the advantage of not requiring a plugin to create, which is useful if you are distributing themes.

Is there any way to access the internal images that the iPhone simulator uses?
For example, if I want to get the original image used for one of the default app icons (e.g. Contacts). This way I could get the highest possible resolution, and examine it for purposes of creating similar icons for my app.
Another example of an image I might want to access is the default icon for a contact:
I'm not asking for a programmatic solution (although that would work), I'm asking for a manual solution, possibly navigating the Simulator's file system using Finder.
You can find the apps at e.g. /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneSimulator4.1.sdk/Applications. The icon of Contacts is at /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneSimulator4.1.sdk/Applications/Contacts.app/icon.png or icon#2x.png. But you can't easily read them, as they are in a strange format (it's not standard PNG), you need to convert them. See for example this article or this article.
EDIT: added two more links for iphone icon images.
You dont need to do this.
Just grab a User Interface Kit:
Heres a website you can go to to download the .psd files which you can use for your self for free:
http://webdesignledger.com/freebi
For another library of iphone icons. This one includes the contacts icon:
http://www.iphonestudio.co.uk/page/iphone_icon_gallery
And here are the iphone icons on the main screen made downloadable for your own use.
here are official icons in different sizes.
check the quality of the Photos icon.
wow.

Hope this helps.
Let me know if it did

I have a psd image with me. This image has been created combining multiple images. I want that each of this multiple images must have a seperate alt tag and a hyperlink. When the user clicks on it, he/she should be taken to the that url.
How can I do it. Please suggest me all options like open source or online tools etc.
Take a look here: Medialab's SiteGrinder. This is a PS plugin which transforms your PSD into a working webpage, I use it for prototyping and to figure out px distances and such, there are services out there too, but have a look at this tutorial too.
Hope they help.
