You can also link images to different web pages. A common practice in the Internet world is to use images like buttons as links and to use an image as your homepage. Also, when a user puts his/her mouse over the image, you can make a little popup text come up that gives information about the image (called ALT text).
This is the way to do it..
Host a picture or a thumbnail online using
Copy the URL they give you.. E.g.
<img src="Link/Url of image" alt="Text for unloaded image" title="Tooltip text" />
Copy the code above and make the changes to it as mention below...
The part in Yellow is where the URL of your picture goes [URL got after hosting picture on imageshack or an image from a website ]
In the Blue part ,Put in text that you want to display INSTEAD OF THE IMAGE in the case of the image file not loading, or being deleted
The part in Red is where you put text that you want to display in the tooltip - the tooltip's the little box that appears when you hover your mouse over the picture. [Ffor e.g. the "login" picture above and below in this blog entry ]
Now...
Make a new blog entry or open an existing one.
You have to paste the code above , of course after making the above mentioned changes into your blog entry.
