Tumblr guest blog profile image within blog - blogs

I'm looking to add in the image of a guest poster into the main blog. Basically {PortraitURL-30} for the guest user.
In the blog I want to pull in the person silhouette, I can't seem to find the code anywhere if I use {PortraitURL-30} it'll just bring back the orange profile image.
All the necessary tickboxes for allowing thumbnails and such has been ticked, I've spent the last couple of days speaking to tumblr support with them just coming back saying they don't offer technical support.
The class for the person silhouette is post_sub_avatar, I've been looking high and low for something along the lines of
{PostSubAvatar-30} or something but I can't seem to find it!
Any help would be appreciated!
Cheers

Try this:
{block:GroupMembers}
{GroupMemberPortraitURL-30}
{/block:GroupMembers}

On my school's webpage, we want to keep the profession list up to date automatically. How do I link LinkedIn so that the page updates when LinkedIn changes?
I would like to link Linkedin to our university's website. In doing so, it will keep us from constantly having to update the page
~Thanks
Apply divide and conquer to this issue.
First attack the problem of gathering information from LinkedIn,
You can start here https://www.linkedin.com/developers and take a look at the API Documentation.
Also you have LinkedIn badges, but it doesn't look exactly like something you are looking for.

How to make a link url go through another page when clicked HTML

I'm sorry I do not know how to word that title better. I have tried searching google but my terminology isn't helping my results.
Let me explain the context. When you're on a news website or blog and you're on their homepage like: www.homepage.co.uk/ and then you click an article it will go somewhere like this: www.homepage.co.uk/2017/article/ how do they make the 2017 appear? because if you remove the /article/ from the url it takes you to an archive of all the links in that year? I don't understand, is there a process to this?
When I click a link in my website it goes to: www.website.co.uk/link
I want to be able to have that 2017/link/ in the url so they can find the archive of that year just like on their websites?
How do I do this?
I am sorry if I am not explaining this very well.
I understand changing my filenames to : "2017/article.html" might work but I do not believe that is the correct way of doing it?
Thanks a lot for your time and suggestions!
You're asking about a couple of things: one is the taxonomy of the site. Taxonomy, if you don't know, is the "shape" of or how your site is organized. News sites, for instance, are usually organized by date and perhaps topic (Health and Leisure, Politics, Entertainment, etc.). The other aspect of your question is regarding what you might call RESful "hacking" of URLs. One of the tenents of REST is that URLS (uri, to be accurate) are supposed to be hackable. A news site might have /2017/10/10 to display all articles for Oct 10. Maybe you remove the last "10", and get all the articles for October so far. If you are not using a site platform that does this for you, you will have to maintain that taxonomy yourself, and manually write all the links. Systems such as Drupal and Joomla, among others, will translate your taxonomy into automatically-maintained links. In editing a page on one of these platforms, you typically only refer to the system's internal name of the page (could be a shortened version of the article's title in the above example), and the underlying engine takes care of reconstructing the URL for you (in case the page moves, or its tags/taxonomy changes).
This is a big topic, and I encourage you to do some further reading:

How to create active all content in Facebook

I have an idea for a holiday wall post where you can poke the fruit cake, similar to poke the rabbit. When it's shared in a Facebook wall post I would users to be able to interact with it before they would share it themselves. I have see active content in wall posts from other sites but reading the documentation, and one other SO post, has not been very fruitful. (pun intended). Can anyone share some holiday cheer and help me crack this (chest)nut?
It is called "feed gaming" and it´s only possible with swf files (Flash) afaik. Here´s the link to the docs: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/games/feed-gaming/

How to get Facebook like button to add a website and add the user to our Facebook page

I've just set up a new website at http://www.elitefightkit.co.nz and we also have a Facebook page which I don't have the url to hand at the moment (but it's called Elite Fight Kit). I want to add Facebook like buttons to my website. I can understand how to add them for product pages but I want to have a 'join us on facebook' button at the base of the page in a footer I'm producing so visitors can be added to the list of people on our Facebook page. We're growing a nice group of people over there.
I've looked into the Facebook like button and it seems to suggest that when user clicks it (if configured correctly) a feed item will be added to the users profile to say they like my website and provide a link back to the site. It seems I either have them like the website or like the Facebook group. That's great BUT I wondered if there was a way to have them click the like button, add the link to the website but ALSO join them to our Facebook page. Is there a way or will that be two seperate buttons?
This article was helpful when looking into the Facebook like button: http://www.webmonkey.com/2010/04/adding-facebook-like-buttons-to-your-site-is-damn-easy/ it pretty much got me rolling, although the Facebook developer page wasn't too hard to get my head around either. :)
Hope someone has some experience with this that can throw some light on it for me. Thanks in advance!
I've looked into a similar request before but decided - given the current social plugin documentation - that it could only be done with two separate buttons. My advice would be to make the Like button on your website point to your Facebook page, with a prominent link back to your website from there. Without wanting to state the obvious, any wall posts that then appear for people liking your page will effectively advertise both!

Web site as image/clip art library with reference?

As a software developer, I have done many web page applications and been doing blog for my programming experiences. I would like to use pictures in many cases. Pictures worth thousand words and they are universal language!
You could create your own clip art images or download graphics(actually many are open clip art/image libraries available, Open Clip Art Library as example). However your time and art skill are limited and you can only keep limited library of images.
I wish if there is any open art/image library web sites with permanent references available so that you just add a simple reference in your html page like this just like a way that you could use other people or web site's graphics:
<img src="http://OpenArtLibray.net/icon/work/DoItYourself.png".../>
In this way, there is no need to waste time to download and upload images and no waste on your and other computer's disk spaces(no duplication). Just one place with a huge amount of variety of images available, and open for people to use, or with some reasonable fees. People may vote the popularity of art/images as well.
Is there any such kind of web site available?
Typically sites discourage this. What this really does is shift the bandwidth cost to the hosting site. There have been cases where sites with pictures have analyzed the referrer to determine if images are linked to from other sites, then servering an image with text claiming the image is being 'stolen'.
The point of that, is the idea isn't very well liked.
However, some sites like w3c, allow you to link to their certification images. It all depends on what you are linking to.
It is hard to think of a business doing this, as there doesn't seem to be a revenue aspect.
Even if some were charged fees, there's a lot of work involved in checking/verifying who has paid, via referrer texts. Maybe you have a new business plan.
Update:
Oh, I have a friend who always sends me emails with links to flickr. Maybe their license lets you link to images on their site. Something for you to check out.
Update:
This text, "photo hosting sites", makes for an interesting, relevant google search.
Thanks for Chris explanation. I could accept it as a answer. However, I raised this question because I really don't like to "steal" images. I can see it is hard to charge fees, but there are some many open resources available on the web. Actually, I found one Open Clip Art Library, which allow people to contribute and share images. I found many good pictures there and downloaded. I may contribute some when I create images for my blog so I'll let people to use my.
Flickre is an open social place for people store and sharing pictures. As long as pictures are shared there, specially by people, I think you can use and link images there. Still you have to do the work: creating and uploading. Actually, I tried another open social site called as DropBox. I can create a public folder there and add my pictures for sharing. All those sites have one common problem: personal account and may not be available if inactive for certain period of time (90 days for DropBox?).
That's why I asked this question here in StackOverFlow. I hope some people may know some hosts available or any other alternative options available. Maybe it is just like Chris said, "the idea isn't very well liked".
Actually, I realize that Open Clip Art Library I mentioned in my previous email does provide image hosting-like service. If you click on any one's picture download link, it will open a new tab or window to display the graphic. The display has its URL. I have created a new user name and submitted my picture. It works well. I can include the graphics in my test web page. Not sure how long the URL will be there. It looks like permanent one.
Try searching Creative Commons licensed works. People will often upload and share photos on such places as Flickr under a Creative Commons license which allows you to remix, reference or use on your own projects, blogs or site.
There are different types of licenses under the CC with some asking you to not use their works if you're going to be making money from it or if you're engaging in commercial activity.
You just have to nod back to the original author when using items under CC and if you link back to them, that's just good karma.
