How to create an image link

Inserting a link to an image isn't as hard as you would think. For starters, you would need to know the basics of HTML. With hyperlinks, it's really not that hard to figure out and put together. To really understand how to do it, you would again need to understand how to display a link properly. What I'm going to show you however is how complete the task and keeping it in the simplest form without getting too technical. It doesn't really require a lot of technical skills but mainly as stated before, a basic understanding of HTML.

To create a basic link before going into image adding, it would be something like this. When you create your page, it would to be File to start things off. Once you figure out the basics of adding a web link and creating hyperlinks, then the question that comes to mind is how do you do it with images as well? This actually really isn't as difficult as you would think. In order to be able to do that, you would need to understand how to use the image tag. It would be recommended to use a .jpg image, as it tends to load a lot faster than any of the page images. The image tag has to be for example. This is merely an example and can have the image be what you want it to be.

Now that you all ready understand how to go about creating hyperlink, here is how you go about putting an image side of it. All you have to do in this case is put this down and here is the following code to do so: . This is how you do it. Again, this takes a basic understanding of the two tags in question and how to get the whole image to be a complete hyperlink. Once you have that done, make sure you got both parts of the code correctly. Otherwise, you will get a possible 404 Error if online and a red x following the image that you are trying to put in there properly. If you were trying to link a specific image from a web site, then it would be best to get the code directly from the source and add it to the code mentioned above.

This has been it as far as creating links within images. It really isn't as hard as you would think it would be but it requires patience and practice. After all, practice makes perfect.
