Hi Frugal Dougal
That's fine,but how do you get a link inside a picture with Blogger ?
Vic
Hi Vic,
I tried to do a detailed answer to this, but the comment facility won't accept the code, and when I tried to mount it in a new post, the blogger software turned the post, which I'd wanted to show you as HTML, into the linked picture you saw on my page.
So: basically, you know how if you click a pic you normally get that pic in an otherwise empty page? That's because you get the address of the picture itself inside the tags where you see a href, then =, then the pic's address (from Photobucket, or wherever you store your pics) inside the inverted commas.
Simply change the address inside the quotation marks following a href= to the address of the page you want the picture to point to - cut and paste job.
Then, if you want, put some explanatory text where you see alt="", and that text will appear when a cursor hovers over the picture.
Sorry this isn't too clear, I'll email the blogger tricks and tips blog and ask if they can put an explanation up with the full code.
All the best
FD
Thanks for the explanation Dougal, I'll see if I can get my brain cell round it and try it out. I've often wondered how it's done, so it could turn out to be really useful.
Hi, I wrote a blog about getting a hare, and found your site. I've linked to your site, the link is in a photo of a hare I found on Google. Hope this is all right - Frugal Dougal.
PS I love your pictures and the captions!
