Posting images...

Arguably, words are the better mode of communication in the blogosphere.  That is probably why the only way to post images is still through using HTML codes as opposed to something a bit more user friendly.  

But occasionally a picture is worth a ..... you get the idea.

Before you freak out and resort to an alcohol-induced coma because of your lack of programing skill---remember that many other people (who shall remain nameless but occasionally post annoying items) have figured it out and you can also.

HTML code doesn't change much, so once you learn a bit there is nothing new to learn.  Pictures are posted by telling the computer where to find the image.  This is done through some brackets and codes that are called tags.  The tag for an image looks like this...

<img src="image location on the web">

....and is typed into your post wherever you want a picture from the web to appear.

The easiest picture to post is one already found on the web somewhere.  like:  the Royals Review logo. It is located at:

 http://images.royalsreview.com/images/admin/royalsreview.gif

How do you find that out?  1) Mouse over to the image and right-click, 2) Select the "Copy Image Location" from the menu that pops up, and 3) paste the image location into our HTML code which would then look like this when we are typing our post...

<img src="http://images.royalsreview.com/images/admin/royalsreview.gif" >

...but would look like this when we preview or actually post the comment:

Viola! The image is now where our code was! Yeah!

Now, more information about basic web tutorials can be found at www.w3schools.com (which is where I learned my very rudimentary HTML skills).

Today's assignment:  Post one picture on this thread.
