Images are the cash and prizes of Squidoo Lenses. They add flair and interest to your lens.

For the following HTMLs, you either need to host them on a separate website ( I recommend Photobucket ) or do an image search on google, click on the picture, then when the frame opens up, click on the actual picture again, and then copy the url from your address bar. Make sure you have permission to.. or else you're breaking laws!

Again. Make sure to replace ( ) with < >

To just simply place an image. Use-

(img src="
http://www.yourdomain/squidoo/yourimage.jpg")

But what if you want to make that image clickable, and you want someone to be taken to a different page when they click on that picture?.. well.. simply use THIS code-

(a href="http://www.yoursite.com/thepageyouwanttolinkto.html")(img src="http://www.yoursite.com/squidoo/yourimage.jpg" border="0")(/a)

Okay.. so what if you want a picture to be inserted into your text without messing it up?.. well this is called "Floating" an image. Use this code-

(img src="http://www.yourdomain/squidoo/yourimage.jpg" style="float: left; margin: 0px 5px 5px 0px;")

TIP: You can change " left " portion of that code to " right " to change where the image is floated.
TIP: If you want to make your floating image clickable, just add this code before the floating image code so it'll look like this.

(a href="http://www.yoursite.com/thepageyouwanttolinkto.html")(img src="http://www.yourdomain/squidoo/yourimage.jpg" style="float: left; margin: 0px 5px 5px 0px;")(/a)

And last but not least. Centering your Images. Use this code for a perfectly centered image

(p align="center")(img src="http://www.yourdomain.com/squidoo/yourimage.jpg")(/p)

In this lesson, you learned a lot about images and how to use them in your lens. Now it's time to learn about text!

I love the short and sweet approach! It's so much easier to remember content when it's not clouded by too much verbiage.
