In order to put images or pictures in your email, you should learn the basics of html coding. There are many sites where you can learn this, but a couple of GREAT places to start are Dr. Draac's School of HTML for WebTV Email and Jim Brooks' University of H.T.M.L. Alan Buonforte's page is also a good place to learn html coding. Using height and width attributes (tags) are an important part of a fast-loading image. Here is an article about how to write a code with the proper tags. Height and Width "How To's" Once you have a basic understanding of html codes, you must find out the URL of the image you want to place in your email. The URL is the location of your image on the internet. It is best for you to use images that exist in your Page Builder scrapbook. Besides existing in your Scrapbook, the image you want to use must also be placed onto your Page Builder website, and the page must be published. To learn how to activate your Scrapbook feature, click here. To learn more about how to get images for your scrapbook, see Article #11 on this website! To use an image in your email, you have to place the code into your signature box, or sig box. Here's how to find your sig box. From your WebTV Mail screen, choose Settings, and then choose Signature on the next screen. Your sig box will now be displayed. This is the place where you enter your html coding. You must start the code at the very beginning of your sig box! There are several parts to the correct code. If it is typed correctly, there will be no blank spaces in the code except between img and src. Blank spaces that are created when the text automatically wraps to the next line are to be ignored. Now for an in-depth explanation of the different parts of the following code: <html><center><img src="http://community.webtv.net/YourEmailName/YourPageName/scrapbookFiles/mailedD1.gif"></center></html> 1. You must open the code with <html>. These letters stand for "Hyper Text Markup Language", and tell the browser that a code will follow. 2. The next part is the opening <center> tag, which aligns the image in the center of your email page. This tag MUST be closed at the end of the code, right before the closing html tag. If you want your image to align to the left of the page, by default, then you can leave out the opening and closing center tags. 3. The next part says img src, which stands for image source. This tells the browser that the website address which follows will be the place where the image is found on the web. 4. The next part is the domain location. In this case, it is community.webtv.net. This must be followed by a forward slash, which looks like this...( / ) Note: If your page name includes a -1, -2, -3, or -4 after the word community, that dash and number must be deleted from the code, or your image will not show up in your email. 5. The next part is your email name. For instance, if your email address is JSmith@webtv.net, then JSmith is what goes next. This is followed by a "forward slash." 6. The next part is the name of your website. It is very important that you use capital letters correctly, since this part is case sensitive. If you called your page Images, then that will go next. Another "forward slash" is needed. 7. The next part is scrapbookFiles, and the F in Files must be capitalized! Follow this with a forward slash. 8. The next part is the actual "name" of the particular image you want to use from your scrapbook. You find this information by going into your scrapbook, and then clicking onto the image you want to use. After you have done this, read the information at the bottom left of your screen. It will look something like this.... mailedD1_gif. The underline, ( _ ) must be replaced by a dot, or period. The entire address of your image is now complete. It must be enclosed in quotation marks, beginning right before the http, and ending after the letters gif or jpg. Now, all you must do is type the closing tags for </center>, and </html>. If you have not made any typos, your image will appear at the bottom of your email. For instructions on using a camcorder for placing pictures in your email, Click Here. |
