Adding a Picture Pictures are what make the internet pretty. Without pictures there is no fun to the internet! So lets learn how to add an image to the internet!An important part of adding an image is having that image stored somewhere. I recomend going to AnimeGalleries.Net and getting your own gallery there. You can add pictures into your gallery and then save them and use them elsewhere. To get the address for an image right click the image and click properties. From there you can see the URL(Address) Copy and paste it somewhere where you can get to it when you need it. So lets start with our image tag. This tag unlike others does not have an open and a close property to it. Just the simple tag. <img src="http://www.mistyicedesigns.com/images/midlink.gif"> Notice how the address is complete. This is necessary when linking to an image that is not in the same folder as your site. If you have the image in the same folder as the page you're creating you can simpley put <img src="midlink.gif"> If it's not in the same folder but on the same webspace you can us a / to find the root directory and then type the folder the image is in so lets say images and then the image name. So something like this: <img src="/images/midlink.gif"> That will tell the site to search inside the images folder to find midbutton.gif and load the picture. The end all would come out like this 
It's very important that you use the correct image name and extension. Some valid extensions are: .jpg .gif .png .bmp others may not show the image correctly and can take long times to load. When saving your image try to use .jpg and .gif the most as they will have the least amount of loading time for the best quality. Know the extension you used for the image, otherwise the image won't show up if you have the wrong one. You'll get a little box with an x in it, or something similar to that. |
