How to post pictures using html

Some basic html tips:

<img src> is the tag to post pictures on CraigsList. An example would be

<a href> is the tag to post a link. An example would be

<a href="http://images.petgalleries.com/files/2/merrychristmas.jpg">merrychristmas.jpg</a>

When posting on CL you can also just paste the link http://images.petgalleries.com/files/2/merrychristmas.jpg and CL will automatically link it to your page.

In order for you to post your pictures on Craigslist it has to be on the web already. A free host w/ no registration is http://tinypic.com/
A free host with registration is Photobucket.com
Here's a write up on how to use photobucket if you can't figure it out.

Upload your file. Once it is uploaded all you have to do is copy that information in the "Tag" box. Ex: <img src="http://tinypic.com/yourpic.jpg">

If you already have a host, all you need to do is get the location of your image.

Right click on your image and get the "properties"

In Internet Explorer you will copy the Address (url)

In Firefox you will copy the location

Now that you know how to get your image on the web and how to find your image location you will just need to utilize the <img src> tags.

Here's an example.

To put my sample picture in CL I will want to put this in my post

Which will look like once you submit your post.
