Issue - How to import graphics and images to a web page
Tiptoid -
Okay! If you're like me, you have your own personal website, and it occupies a lot of your time and creative energy. To give my site a unique and spiffy look, I add a variety of design elements.
One design option to consider adding is the graphic/image. Sadly, when you try to add your graphic, it comes out as a web address. Mine did that, too, until my friend Paul, a web designer (whose real job is as a drummer), helped me figure out how to do it. So now I'm going to pass on my new knowledge to you!
First, you'll need an image provider. Places like Photobucket.com host images for free (don't worry, it's safe!). Just pick an image you want to use and upload it to your account. Now you're half-way there!
Next, you need to figure out the proper code to make your image come out correctly. Luckily, I have that code -
<img scr= “web address here”>
Put that code where you want your picture to show up and, you're done!
Okay, so it's simple...but someone had to show you, right? Have fun making your graphics show up properly!
