Understanding Image Tags

This tutorial will help you learn different commands that will allow you to manipulate your images to your liking. The code given is written in HTML (HyperText Markup Language) similar to the code you copy and paste from image hosting sites, to view your images at a desired location. To best understand this tutorial you must understand the basic html structure.

To properly use code in examples copy and paste content the examples inside < >

Basics of the Image tag

The image tag allows you to display images in many formats on a webpage. The tag used for displaying an image in html code is img. With all html there are certain attributes that can be associated with the image tag to allow it to perform different functions. These include:

Src Attribute - REQUIRED

The source (src) attribute is the location or URL where the image resides on the internet. This attribute must always be used or your image will not be shown as the browser will not know where to retrieve it from.

Example: img src=”http://www.iuploadhere.com/image.jpg”

Alt Attribute - OPTIONAL

The alternate text (alt) attribute is used to displayed text in place of an image that cannot be found or when image downloading is turned off by the user. This feature is to help the user understand what he/she should be viewing if the image doesn’t display.

Example: img src=”http://www.iuploadhere.com/image.jpg” alt=”My Image”

Align Attribute - OPTIONAL

The align image command allows you to position the image in correspondence with the surrounding text. Commands used include top, bottom, middle, left, and right.

Example: img src=”http://www.iuploadhere.com/image.jpg” alt=”My Image” align=”Top”

Width and Height Attributes - OPTIONAL

These commands allow you to change the size of the image on the website. The attributes used are width=”#” and height=”#” where the # represents a number (in pixels) that you wish to use. Remember when using this command that you are not actually modifying the image but only temporarily changing the size which can cause distorted images.

Example: img src=”http://www.iuploadhere.com/image.jpg” alt=”My Image” align=”top” width=”50″ height=”40″

Background Image Attribute

The background image command allows you to place your image in the background of your website as a wallpaper. As you can see in the example below, this attribute must be placed within the tag at the beginning of your HTML document. If your image is smaller then the area of the page it will tile itself.

Example: body background=”http://www.iuploadhere.com/background.jpg”

Turning an image into a Link

This command allows you to turn your image into a link that people can click to direct them to another webpage on the internet. When the user scrolls over the image the mouse cursor will change from the arrow to a hand with it’s index finger pointing. This command requires you to surround your image tag with the html tags shown below in bolded text.

Example:

a href=”http://www.iuploadhere.com”>img src=”http://www.iuploadhere.com/image.jpg” alt=”My Image”>

Accident at Work Claim - The Essentials
Monday 14 April 2008 @ 3:55 am

An accident at work claim has probably crossed your mind, and rightfully so; every year, thousands of hard working individuals are left injured or disabled due to unsafe workplace conditions, who do exactly the same.

An injury at work can strike out of nowhere, leaving you jobless and wondering how and why it happened. Any job, regardless of the industry or position you’re in, has its own unique dangers, whether they’re heavy machinery, or undue stress at the office; these hazardous conditions can leave you unable to re-enter the workforce, left to rely on small compensation payments that barely make ends meet.

Understand Your Rights! Laws To Protect Workers

As an employee, it is your right to work in a safe environment. Unfortunately many workplaces fail to meet safety standards, without your knowledge. Once injured, some workplaces will attempt to cover-up the facts or blame the injured for his/her “incompetence”, which is rarely the case. Accident do occur…

Don’t allow the facts of your suffering to be twisted to make you look like the bad guy, take charge, understand your rights, and make your employer financially responsible for the suffering that has been inflicted upon you.

You Gave 100% At Work

When working, you provided your employer with dedication and hard work, making the business a better place. Now that you’re hurt and unable to work, you feel as if you’ve been swept out the door and quickly forgotten. It seems as if your employer is merely worried about saving money rather than being a helping aid in your time of need, and on top of all that, it’s their fault.

Filing a workplace injury claim is your best bet for receiving the fair compensation that you deserve, not just any billboard accident solicitor. Choosing a specialised solicitor for workplace accidents is an important step in the process.

Who Can Get Me The Compensation I Deserve?

Many people who are injured on the job feel confused and don’t know where to turn. They know the company is responsible for their pain, yet don’t know how to make them fully responsible for their negligence. Filing a successful accident at work claim will help bring the crucial turn-around that you’ve been waiting for since the injury.

Remember, that not any accident solicitor will do; you need someone who truly understands workplace injuries and understand the suffering that is confronting you on a daily basis.

Make sure your solicitor understands the labor law and the situation you were in when injured. With a caring and trustworthy solicitor that you feel comfortable with by your side, your accident at work claim will have much greater chance of maximising the outcome that you deserve.

Take Control

With a solicitor that cares and understands your pain representing you for your injury claim, can also rebuild your confidence and power that was taken away from you.

While money will not fix everything, or take away all the suffering, but a successful compensation claim should be a critical step in taking control of your life again.

There is on the other hand a bonus for the employer… it helps them to amend or adjust the workplace to be more accident-free in the future.

It’s easy to proceed with an accident at work claim and gain maximum results without the hassle, costs and confusion. Discover the 12 revolutions of workplace accidents at http://www.100Percent-Compensation.co.uk/articles/accident-at-work-claim.html

8 breakthrough ways to bring free visitors to your site!
Monday 14 April 2008 @ 3:03 am

Many websites have great ideas, excellent content, brilliant deals and terrific potential. However, the truth is, the majority of these sites fail. This is for the simple reason that these sites can not get sufficient visitors.

I hope to address this problem with 8 sure-fire ways to bring guaranteed visitors to your site within a matter of days:

1.Write your own articles

Increase traffic to your site immediately by writing your own articles and publishing them in relevant ezines or on relevant websites. At the beginning and end of your article, include a link to your site and a small sentence explaining how it would benefit the reader. This is a proven way to achieve tremendous, targeted traffic from all over the web. Do not be afraid to contact owners of large ezines. These ezine publishers need articles, especially if they publish a daily ezine. Just send them a polite, personal email, with your article neatly formatted. Writing your own articles also has the benefit of a long lasting effect. Once your article has been published in a big ezine, many readers of that ezine will use your article in their own ezine. Your article could be circulating around the web for months.

2.Create your own ebook

Create your own ebook relevant to your site’s subject matter. Include a link back to your site on every page of the ebook. Make sure it is clearly stated on your ebook that it can be freely distributed so long as it is not altered in any way. Then, give it away on your own site, and distribute it to other relevant internet sites. These sites will probably be happy to distribute it for you, seeing as big sites are always looking for new ebooks to give away to enhance their popularity. You can then stop distributing your ebook after a while and then sit back and watch traffic pour into your site. A benefit is that if your traffic flow ever decreases again, then you can always distribute your ebook again.

3.Search engine optimisation

A high ranking on the popular search engines is one of the best ways to achieve incredible traffic within a couple of days. However, getting a high ranking on the top search engines is easier said than done. Briefly, these are the ways to get high search engine ranking:

•Having a large number of links to your site all over the web
•Having a large percentage of keywords in your content
•Using effective meta tags (good keywords, etc…)
•Using keywords in headings or in bold type
•Using clean code with no unnecessary jargon

4.Using an email signature

This is possibly the most under-rated way of advertising on the internet. Think about how many emails you send a week. If you’re a webmaster who is trying to get rich, you should be sending a lot! Just use a small signature at the end of each email such as:

====================================
100s of free ebooks and software products -
Go to - http://www.info-ebooks.co.uk
====================================

This will alert everyone you email, whether it be family, friends or prospective customers, that you have a site which is worth visiting. Notice how I have used the ‘=’ sign to highlight my signature. This stands out much more than the ‘-’ sign and will allow for maximum visibility. If you have family or friends who do not use an email signature, then ask them to have a similar signature as yours at the end of every one of their emails. You’ll soon see an influx of visitors.

5.Link exchanges

Link exchanges are great because they cost nothing, are very long lasting, and also bring in extremely targeted traffic to your site. Link exchanges work by you and another website owner putting a link on each other’s site so that each of you benefits. When choosing a site to link with, be careful about choosing a site very similar to yours. In this way, the other site’s link does not look like an advertisement on your site, and you will also receive plentiful, targeted traffic. Link exchanges also have the benefit of helping you increase your search engine rankings seeing as you are increasing the amount of links to your site all over the web.

6.Autoresponder advertising

If you want to be a successful internet businessman you need to have an autoresponder. It is an essential tool which will save you hours of precious time. You can set your autoresponder up to email your prospects at certain intervals, and so take advantage, and send your new prospects emails about your new products, your special deals and your unique selling point which will benefit the reader. Alternatively, if you use your autoresponder to send out your special email course, make sure you have a small advertisement at the bottom and top of the email. Either way, this is a way to get great traffic without you having to do any work.

7.Using the power of recommendation

Nothing will make people come to your site more than having a friend recommend it to them. Everyone respects their friend’s opinions and if you can get people to recommend your site then you’re very likely to achieve a maximum amount of traffic. Word of mouth is a very common way of spreading ‘the best new thing’. To get a recommendation script to put on your website so that visitors can recommend your site at the click of a button, go to http://www.cgi-resources.com or http://www.hotscripts.com. Generally, I find that people will not recommend your site unless there is an incentive. Therefore, offer a free reward if people recommend your site, such as a free ebook or free software product. Also, make sure that your recommendation form is on lots of your web pages and that it is very visible. Soon, you will have a large number recommending their friends to your site.

8.Holding a contest on your website

Holding a contest is a concept which has been highly neglected, even though it has tremendous traffic building potential. Hold a contest on your site for something that your site is based around. For example, if your site is based around video games, the prize could be the latest video game, which you know everyone who visits your site will be interested in. Often you don’t have to pay for the prize either. Many companies would be happy to give you a free prize, because the company would receive free advertising. People will come to your site, see the contest, and if they like it (which you have to make sure they do), they will almost certainly tell a friend about it. This way you will collect a load of email addresses, which you can mail to, to tell them about product updates. The potential for traffic is unlimited. Plus, by offering competitions like this, your site will gain popularity from winners, and you could also offer a consolation prize to those who haven’t won, so that you get popularity from all the losers of the competition too.
