Re: Create your own band and album with Wikipedia!

Well I hit something similar on facebook where it was, get a random image (like so) get a random title for the band name (with wiki random) and then pick the last 4-5 words from the last quote on some random quotes page. Then you throw it together in photoshop.

For the picture I found, my first thought was the hand in the toilet from the zelda games.

Re: Create your own band and album with Wikipedia!

I think it's got something to do with the picture tags. When I follow your link, it takes me to a page instead of just a picture, and the picture has linked boxes all over it. And when I try to view that image alone, the page goes blank


the image link isn't working for me, was it the flower?

You don't have the IMG codes around the image, you have it around the URL for the image (with the comments and whatnot). Flickr is lame and doesn't allow hotlinking pictures, it's not as easy as right click -> view image. You have to right click on the thumbnail and click view image. For example, say I wanted to make the album cover. I'd have to use the thumbnail. To get the thumbnail, just . Wrap that URL with image tags.

EDIT: If you want to take a step beyond, you can use the Prnt Scrn (print screen) key to take a screenshot, then cut out the image you want, save it in a new file, and upload it.

Weird, when I did the flag one, I never had a problem with that. It was just view image.

I was so bored that I decided to actually create an "album" with this data (the members are different, of course => just me... length is under 5 minutes, genre: utter crap, made in about 2 hours). If you wish to torture someone with it, download .
