Here are a few tips for adding hyperlinked text and for adding pictures to your post.
First, understand that these codes or "tags" use basic HTML (hyper text markup language) rules. These are the rules used to build most websites. Each tag should be surrounded by the brackets [ ].
Tags must be used in pairs - one tag to start the code, and one tag to end the code. The end code bracket includes a slash / before the command, like this [/url]
So for instance if I wanted to make my text bold I would use the commands for that as follows:
1. Hyperlinked text:
Hyperlinked text is text that will bring you to a website when it's clicked on. Use the URL= code and then type or paste in the site address, all surrounded by brackets [ ]. Then type in the words you want to associate with that link, and follow those with the URL closing code [/url]. Here's an example:
2. Adding pictures to your post:
Adding pictures is easy using the "img" tags. Just use the brackets around the "img" codes, and put the link to your picture in between them. Here's an example:
3. Making a hyperlinked picture:
Here's how to make a picture that takes you to a website when it's clicked on. We'll combine the "url" and the "img" tags to do this
4. Adding pics to your signature:
Go to modify your profile, and in the "Signature:" space, do the same as in #2 above, just put the URL in between the "img" tags. Please, maximum of TWO sig pics, and please make them of reasonable size. No sig pics over 700 pixels wide.
5. Putting a picture in your avatar:
