mySpace - How do you insert graphics into messages
Posted: Sat Mar 21, 2009 6:52 pm
Okay, so I just found out I can't use the CM banner here, but since I spent the time to create it, I'd like to use it in messages and comments I send out on mySpace. However, I've never figured out how to insert graphics into mySpace (mail) messages.
I see (and use) the button to insert pictures in comments all the time, but the only button I see when I'm composing a mail message is to insert a video. If there's a button or menu or something I'm not noticing, please direct me to it
I'm thinking it's probably some code you insert into the body of the message along with your text. However, I'm not sure if I should be using the code for bulletin boards or the code for Web pages. And I'm afraid if I type in only the URL, it'll just show up as a link -- instead, I want to actually embed the graphic in the message (so that it shows up with the text when the reader opens it).
So, I'm not a programmer, but I'm thinking it's one of the following types of code (ignore all pound # signs... put there to avoid code execution).
Something like (bulletin board):
[url########=http://www.4freeimagehost.com] [img]http://www.4freeimagehost.com/uploads/#######.jpg[/img][/url]
or (Web page):
<a href########="http://www.4freeimagehost.com" target="_blank"><img alt="Image Hosted by 4FreeImageHost.com" title="Image hosted by 4FreeImageHost.com" src="http://www.4freeimagehost.com/uploads/#######.jpg" /></a>
Any help from you Web experts would be greatly appreciated!
