Getting Picture On My Cache Page

I hope there are some web designers out there to help me.

 

I am just learning HTML, and I want a picture to automatically display on my cache page (without having to click on the camera icon). (Not a background, but an acual small picture).,

 

I used the following code to try and insert the picture:

<IMG SRC = "http://www.geocaching.com/seek/logaspx?LUID=6304cb19-33a1-4dcd-b64f-a1abe87ddf81 ">

 

(The bolded print is the URL on geocaching.com where I uploaded the picture).

 

It ended up being the dreaded square with an "x" in the middle when I tried it out to see if it would display. What am I used to use as an attribute to describe the image so that it will show, please? How do I accomplish a photo automatically displaying?

The bolded URL on your post is not a URL for any picture. It should be ending with .jpg (when it's uploaded in GC.com anyway). Try finding the picture URL of the photo you've uploaded. Only seeing the thumbnail doesn't give you the correct URL; clicking on the picture will usually take you to a page where you can see the picture only. If the URL ends with .jpg, you should have the correct URL to paste on your HTML code.

Okay, thank you. I found what you directed me to...I put that in....now no x-box or any indication that I've added it. I am clearly not doing something right. :D

 

Do I have to write <.HTML> and <./HTML> (dots excluded) in the beginning and end of both the short descriptor box as well as the long description box?

 

I have my HTML books here, and still feel very inadequate. :P

Is your cache already approved and online? Can you post the cache page link so we can check the HTML code on the page source?

 

It was just approved, but guess what?! The directions you gave me worked!

 

Apparently either:

 

1) it took a few minutes before the HTML kicked in, as now the picture is viewing

or

 

2) I had to get off of the "view page now" link from the editing page and just re-enter the site from scratch.

 

It looks great! I think I have to reduce the size of my picture, lol. Thank you!!

 

Here it is. Many thanks for your patience with me and getting this to work. What a thrill when a challenge is successfully overcome!
