Want to include links and images on your website, but don't know how? Hopefully, this guide will help you. ^^
.:LinksTo include a text link on your page, write <a href="URL">TEXT</a> on your page where you would like the link to show up. Replace URL with the address of the page you're linking to, and replace TEXT with the text you would like the link to say.
If you want your link to open in a new window, add target="_blank" to your link. The link would then look like this: <a href="URL" target="_blank">TEXT</a> . This is useful for linking to sites other than yours, so the visitor can visit the new site without leaving yours.
To include an image on your page, type <img src="URL"> on your page where you want your image to show up. Replace URL with the address of your image. To do this, you'll need to have your image hosted somewhere, not just sitting on your computer. You can upload your image to places such as Photobucket or Imageshack.
What if you want your image to be a certain size? Include height="HEIGHT" width="WIDTH" in your image tag. Replace HEIGHT with the height in pixels that you want your image to be, and replace WIDTH with the width in pixels. Your image tag would then look like this: <img src="URL" height="HEIGHT" width="WIDTH"> .
If you use an image link, covered in the next section, the picture by default will have a border around it. If you want to remove the border, add border="0" to your image tag. The image tag would then look like this: <img src="URL" border="0"> . Alternatively, if you want your picture to have a border, you can add border="#" , with # replaced with the thickness of the border in pixels.
Now that you can code links and images, coding an image link, where instead of text you click on a picture, should be easy. Just write a link tag, and then instead of text, put an image tag. The link would look like this: <a href="URL"><img src="URL"></a> . You can add other parts to the link and image tags, like what was covered in the paragraphs before.
Have fun coding links and images! If there's something you don't understand, or you have questions, feel free to ask me for help. =)
