You already know how to add images to your Blog entries (tutorials can be found
here or
here). It's simple and easy because there is a button for this (among other things) while you compose or edit a blog entry. You can even use it to create the HTML code to place somewhere else that does not have the powerful editing tools: just click on 'Edit HTML' to copy the code.
But if you want to do it quickly in a reply or host your own set of smileys to add to your comments in Guestbooks or in your Welcome Message? Basically, you have to use this HTML command:
<img src="Image_URL">where
Image_URL is the address of the image on the Internet (it cannot be in your computer, it must be hosted online so others can see it). For instance, the blog icon above has this URL:
http://images.multiply.com/multiply/icons/clean/24x24/journal.pngyou can then use this command to display it anywhere you want:
<img src="http://images.multiply.com/multiply/icons/clean/24x24/journal.png">that will show this:
You can even host your images here on Multiply in a private photo album (so no one else can see them) and easily get the code to
embed them elsewhere.
Here are some nice tutorials related to this subject that can be found in the
New to Multiply group where you can find more details:

In the comments of the first one, there is even a tip about how to add an album artwork to your playlist (Music post) so it will display in the Type column if your Music page is set to Table View.
Another tip: when using code from third party sites, be aware that they may include advertising or even malware with the image code. To avoid this, copy the code from their sites, paste it in a text editor and use only the part of the code that has the
IMG tag. For example, this is a code from a known image hosting site:
<a href=http://www.ZangyGraphics.com/picture.php?c=hi&n=271><img src=http://zangygraphics.com/hi/test2.gif border=0></a><br><a href="http://zangygraphics.com/imgs/logo.php"><img src="http://zangygraphics.com/imgs/zangylogo.jpg" border="0"></a>
But the only part you really need to display the image is the one in bold
:
<img src=http://zangygraphics.com/hi/test2.gif border=0>
PS: If it seems that you cannot add an image to a friend's Guestbook (or the other way around: if you want to prevent images in your Guestbook), probably you want to take a look at the
Guestbook FAQ entry.
