Photo To Cache Page

[+Konnarock Kid & Marge]

Hello everybody,

My question that I am sure someone can answer is: how do you add a photo to your cache description page? I don't mean adding a photo which a visitor must click on to display. I mean adding a photo that will automatically be displayed when someone first goes to the page just like the printed material does. Thanks.

Someone should come along with a handy-dandy reference for a lot of HTML coding tricks.

 

Here's the basics. First, check the box that indicates that the content you are providing is in HTML. Second, enter the following to make an image appear on the page:

 

<img src="URL" height="h" width="w" align="placement">

 

Where

• URL is the web address of the image you want to place on the site. You can right click many images on the internet and get their properties.
  
• h is the height of the image. You can leave this out and the browser will determine the height of the image automatically.
  
• w is the width of the image. You can leave this out and the browser will determine the width of the image automatically.
  
• placement is the place on the page you want the image to appear. Common values are "left", "right", and "center". This is also optional.
  

You can see some image examples in one of my caches, Corvette 50th Birthday Cache.

 

Good luck!

Hey CrimsonWrath,

Thanks for your reply. Can I add photos from the "my pictures" file on my desktop. I don't have a website and these are my own photos. Thanks

Here is a great site that explains what to do with your cache page.

Perhaps something like The quick and dirty guide to bad HTML for your cache page?

 

This helpful resource can be found in bons' post in the FAQ topic that is pinned at the top of the "Getting Started" forum.

 

EDIT: a. Cachecows beat me to it. b. Konnarock Kid & Marge, you can upload images to a cache page or to a log or to your profile page, if you do not have webspace.

Thanks everyone for the replies. I have done it with one exception. I gave used web photos and successfully uploaded them to my cache pages. The only problem is I cannot get them to "center" on the page. I can get them to right align or left align but using align="center" doesn't center the photo on the page. To see the cache page go to GCKNGY. Thanks.

Scratch my "align=center" option. That didn't seem to work too well. Try this instead:

<CENTER><img ...></CENTER>

BTW... I think the right alignment you are using is better anyway!
