IMAGE BLANKETS
These directions are mainly for people who wanna put images in their posts, but if you're makin your own pages then this works too. Making image blankets are very much like making link blankets in that you need to know the web address (the URL) of the page you want to link to.
The first thing you gotta go is find an image you like, and find out what its URL is. Let me put an image in here so I can demonstrate.
| This is the Beanie Baby called Hippie the rabbit. Her URL on my page is http://les_abeilles.tripod.com/images/hippie.gif. | |
If I hadn't already told you what the image URL was, this would be how you find it.
1. Right-click on the image. A menu will pop up. Select the choice "Properties" if you use Internet Explorer. I'm not quite sure what you do on Netscape but I think you right-click too.
2. Netscape users can choose "copy URL"; IE users will have to grab a pencil and write down the URL themselves (since the ctrl+C function doesn't work on Properties -- believe me, I've tried!)
3. Open up a Notepad or Wordpad and paste the URL on it (so you can save it for later). Using wordpad to make the image blankets on will make things easier too.
Once
you've found the image URL, you are ready to make the image
blankets. The code looks like this: <img src="">, and all you do is
paste the URL between the "".
Like this: <img src="http://les_abeilles.tripod.com/hippie.gif">.
I always put an additional part inside the image blanket called the alt="". It tells people what the picture is about, in case they can't see it. You don't have to, but if you wanna this is where it goes: <img src="http://les_abeilles.tripod.com/hippie.gif" alt="hippie the beanie baby">.
Now that you've gotten the image blanket ready, all you have to do is copy and paste it into your post, wherever you want it. That's all there is to it!
