Uploading images and linking them to the publication records
Re. It was larger than the ISFDB rules allow: i.e., no more than 600 pixels tall. So I have resized it and re-upped it to the server.

The next step is to link the image to the record of the book for which it is the cover. As the instructions (step 6) explain:


 * Once the file has been uploaded, the image's wiki page will appear. In order to get the URL (address) for the image you just uploaded, left click anywhere on the image and copy the URL from your browser's address window. (Or right click on the image and choose "Copy Image Location".) If you're adding a cover image to a pub record, this is the URL which you would enter into the pub record's "Image URL" field.

So once you have the image's URL, go back to the pub record (it's linked on the image's wiki page) and then click the "Edit This Pub" link under the Editing Tools menu. This opens up an edit page. Under the Publication Metadata section, there's a field labeled "Image URL:" Enter the URL of the image you uploaded into this field, and then click on the "Submit Data" button at the bottom of the page. Once the submission has been moderated the cover image will be linked to the publication record.

I have done that for you. Here is the publication record with the linked cover image. Please keep these instructions to follow when uploading further cover image files. Thanks for contributing. Mhhutchins 20:07, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
