Using Images Online

We went over the codes to use to post images online in the basic HTML page, but just as a reminder, here are the codes again.



Image Codes

Use the code below and add in the URL to your own image into the URL portion of the code.

<img src="http://www.site/image.gif">

Maybe the image is too large and you need to scale it down a little so it doesn't stretch out the page. That's easy, too! Notice the percentage values in the code below. Just adjust them according to what you need for your own image.

<img src="http://www.site/image.gif" width="50%" height="50%">





Now the question is, where do you host the images? You have to have the image online in order for others to view it. For that, take a look at the sites and descriptions below.

Photobucket
Photobucket is by far the most commonly used, and is incredibly reliable. They allow you to upload not only images, but videos as well, and offer you enough storage space for more than 10,000 images. You can direct link from here without any issues at all, and it takes only minutes to set up a free account.

ImageShack
Imageshack can be used to upload images, flash files, and movies. They offer limitless uploading, so you don't have to worry about space! They also allow direct linking, providing you don't alter the preset codes for the image.
