This is how a picture is
posted in a message, (minus the parenthasis...DO NOT put the () in your code)but what does all that text mean?
Simply put, the text in
blue is the actual html, the dark red text is the URL or "address" for
the picture to be selected.

Please note the "Less
Than" symbol...(<)...the quotation symbol....(")... and the equal
symbol....(=)...they must be there in order for the
browser to read the following text as an html command.
http://www. http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/Shop/9528/bluchevy1.gif
This portion of the link
is the actual address of the picture you wish to post.
">
The second quotation
symbol and the "Greater than"...(>)...symbol are there to close or
end the link and must be there.
(<)A
HREF="http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/Shop/9528/
Again, we have the
same "Less Than"...(<) symbol to start with, then there's that strange
(A
HREF=")
text..
That just tells the
browser that this will be an anchor (A) to another address or URL
reference (REF)...don't forget the space between the A and the HREF
as well as the quotation...
Next comes the
address or the page or site you wish to link to.
The same quotation and
greater than symbols then end that part of the
link....(">)
Link text
here
This text is what will
be displayed to indicate where to click to activate the link itself
i.e.: Link
text goes here
This part of the link
ends or closes the whole thing and must be there. (Remember...do not put the parentasis in your code...they were only used to illustrate.)
