Add a photo to 52 Photos space for challenge credit
To get "credit" for adding a photo for the weekly theme you will need to record the name of the weekly theme's space page, go to your photo, and add the space page as a person (or thing) that is in the photo. Posting to the G2G weekly post is not sufficient to earn credit in the challenge, you need to add your photo to the space page. Or more accurately, you need to add the space page to your photo. In the G2G thread you can tell something about your photo and even upload the photo to the thread for better visibility to other members.
Weekly Theme
Each week there is a new G2G post announcing that week's 52 Photos theme. In parallel, a Space page is created for each week's theme - by the end of the year, there are 52 space pages for the 52 Photos Challenge. To get "credit" for participation in that week's theme, you need to add your photo to the space page.
The space page address
On the G2G post, you will see the name of the space page listed as the linked profile for that post. In the image below for Week 22 of 2019, theme: "Weddings," you will see that the name of the space page is: "Space:52_Photos_Week_22_Wedding"
|
You will need to copy this space page name and then go to where your image is saved at WikiTree. The photo needs to be saved at WikiTree - to a profile or a space page - in order to earn credit for the challenge.
Adding your photo to the space page
Now that you have the space page address, go to your photo that you want to add to that week's challenge. On your photo page, scroll down and on the left side under "Edit Image Details" you will see a list of who is already listed in the image: "People & Things in the Image." Just below that is the data entry field "Add person or free-space profile:" It is in this data field that you want to enter the weekly theme's space page address:

In the image above, I've added the weekly theme - it is highlighted in orange. Then click "SAVE CHANGES TO IMAGE DETAILS."
Adding a photo to the weekly 52 Photos G2G post
Adding a photo to the weekly G2G post is optional but it will allow other members to see your photo without having to leave the discussion thread. This procedure can be used to add a photo to any G2G question, answer, or comment.
To place a photo in the 52 Photos weekly G2G post (or in any G2G post), go to where the actual photo is saved at WikiTree or elsewhere on the internet. It doesn't matter if the photo is at WikiTree or any other website - if you can see the photo and right click on it, you can add it to a post. Right click on the photo itself and then click "copy image address."

Then go to the G2G post and when you're writing, just above the edit box where you type, you'll see the photo icon slightly to the right and above - it looks like a sun over two mountain peaks.
Click this button and paste the photo address into the data field. Click tab on your keyboard so that the photo details will populate the data entry fields. Select maximum width at 500 so that it will remain on the screen of most computers when others are viewing the thread.
Click "OK" to save the photo and you will immediately see it appear in the text box where you are editing the biography.

52 Photos Week 40: Autumn

If you want to display your image in a G2G post, just right click on the image, copy the image location, then in your post, hit the image button and add the address.
It would be simplest, if members could have their own 52 photos page, and then share from there as they wish.

To share the image for "credit" on the challenge, you need to save the image to the weekly challenge space page. Each week has a new space page. Copy the last part of the URL: "Space:name of spacepage" and add that as someone in your own photo. In other words, go to your photo and as if you were going to add the name of relative to the image (say Jones-125455) instead enter Space:name of spacepage and it will add that weekly page as someone who is in your image.

If you look at that post, near the bottom, above the tags, you'll see:
Space:52_Photos_Week_37_Cousins
Go to the photo you want to add for credit, and on the left side, about 1/2 way down, look for:
People & Things in this image:
Add a person or free space profile:
and a box where you can enter Space:52_Photos_Week_37_Cousins
paste that and hit save.
Then you would go to your photo and add: Space:52_weeks_Dogs
just as if you were going to add your grandfther to a photo: Belnavis-7
Instead of Belnavis-7, you would add Space:52_weeks_Dogs

Before 1846, there were only a few small shops making lenses in the northeastern United States. Ebenezer and Sons was one of these shops. They also made shaded glasses and trendy pink lens glasses for fashionable ladies, probably giving raise to the saying, “looking through rose colored glasses.” Eventually, Ebenezer and Sons as well as other eyeglass shops merged under the name of American Optical Company. However, Ebenezer, his sons and nephews continued to work as craftsmen and administrators for the newly merged company for at least 40 more years. Lens prices and wait times for orders were reduced significantly with the merger. I need help to post the pic.

The instructions say to paste in the URL then "click the tab button". I am not sure what the "tab button" is or where to find it. HELP. My 52 Photos entry just shows a blank field where the photo should be.
