THE BASICS

 #1:  Images

<img src="the url address of image">
example:  <img src="http://photobucket.com/userpicture.jpg">

to get the url of an image you see on-screen, simply right click on it, select properties, and copy the http:// address as shown (highlight, right click and select copy-when you are ready to add the url to your code, then right click and select paste)



#2 Re-sizing Images

let's say you want to put up an image, but it's too big.  The image is 600x800 pixels, and you want it to appear half the size.  You can resize it right in the html code. 

example:  <img src="http://photobucket.com/userpictures.jpg" height="300" width="400">



#3:  Links

<a href="the url address for the site that you want to link to">text to show for the link and/or image code (<img src="the url address for image">)</a>

example:  <a href="http://jazzkittyandme.zoomshare.com">click here for poet's pearls!</a>

to get a site url, simply go to that site and copy (highlight, right click and select copy) the address as shown in your browser's address bar.



#4 Line Breaks

place a <br> wherever you need your text or images spaced down from each other.  You can place multiple breaks together, <br><br><br>, to create even more space.




#5 Centering

place a <center> before the html code or text you wish to center, and </center> after the code or text.





 
HTML RESOURCE LINKS


Thank goodness there is such a thing as html generators,
that can put together entire strings of code when needed.

WWW.SURFCODES.COM
is just about the best site I've found
to access several types of html generators.
Most are geared for myspace,
but adaptable to other sites as well.

CLICK THE LINK ABOVE
AND IT TAKES YOU DIRECTLY TO THEIR HTML GENERATOR PAGE


 
REMOVING THE ADS


Whenever you get a generated code-whether it is simply a graphic to put on a friends page, video or audio embed
code, or from a layout generator-they will always include advertisement for that site.  This is easily removed. 

(there is nothing quite so annoying as those little ugly banners that appear in the top corner edge of your page)


Look for their link code, it will be anything that starts with <a href= and ends with </a>.  Simply highlight and delete that part of the code after you paste it and before you post it. 

Be sure not to delete any final code necessary, such as </style></center></div></tb> etc.
