HOW TO ADD
PICTURES TO YOUR EMAIL
The first time I
ever saw a "jazzed up" email page, I thought;
"WOW! I wish I could do that! It must take
forever to learn!" You know what? It's
EASY!
First of all, you need to go to your
Mail List (That's where you open up your email) &
click on the "Settings" button, on the left hand
side of the page. This will take you to another
page, where you will click on
"Signature"
You will see a box, that you
can type in. This is where you will put all your
html codes, to add pictures to your
email.
Now that you know WHERE to
put it, you can get started!
NOTICE: Many
sites do not allow direct "Linking" to their
images & sounds! Make sure to try to only use
files from LINKABLE sites, or to TRANSLOAD
your files. For information about transloading,
visit these sites:

Now, you may
ask, "WHAT? I have to learn
this transloading stuff, too? But I don't even
know HTML! What IS HTML, anyway? Isn't
there any way I can just type in the stuff, & not
have to do all that?"
HTML stands
for
"HyperText MarkupLanguage."
All that means, is that it is a special
language, used by computers, which tells one
computer what kind of information to send to
another.Sort of like a universal translator. When
you type in an HTML code, you are, in essence,
telling the computer; "Hey! When someone views my
page, I want them to see this picture, & hear
this sound!" Hope that explains it for
you!
Now, in answer to your other question:
Well, YES! Some sites, happily, are totally
LINKABLE- which means that you can "direct-link"
to their files! However, sometimes webmasters do
work on their pages, and change around the
addresses, so, if you don't transload, your files
may not always work! So, check out my page on
TRANSLOADING! I will explain to you what took me
forever to learn! (Well, it seemed
like it, anyway!)

These
sites are OK for email images, though! Go take a
look, find an image you like, and get the URL
(all that means is "address"- see, you are
learning already!) & write it down.(You will
learn "Cut & Paste"
LATER...after you get the
hang of this! One thing at a time!) To get the
URL, click on the image to view it, then hit your "GoTo" button. Then, click on "ShowLast".
Sometimes, all you need to hit is "Info", but go
the "GoTo" route, just to make sure the URL is
complete. You will see an address, that begins
with "http://..." THAT is the URL of the image
you want. Write it down, EXACTLY as shown- if
there is a capital "P", WRITE a capital "P", not
a lower case one! It should look something like
this:

HERE ARE A COUPLE OF SITES WHERE YOU
CAN LINK DIRECTLY TO THE GRAPHICS! GO FIND AN IMAGE YOU LIKE, GET THE URL, & HIT YOUR "BACK" BUTTON, TO COME BACK HERE TO LEARN HOW TO PUT IT
IN YOUR PAGE!

"OK, I found an image I like, I
have the URL...Now what?"
OK! Go
back to your "Signature" box, & type in the
following:(Just make sure to use the "Arrow"
keys,(< and >) instead of the "( & )"
keys, OK?)
(html)(IMG
SRC="http://addressofpictureyoufound.gif")(/html)
That's all there is to it! If you
want the image CENTERED on the page, just type
(CENTER) before the (IMG & (/CENTER) after the
.gif")
Try it! It's EASY!
