Here is my Welcome/Orientation for new FReepers and those seeking HTML help:

R U new? Some Tips....
http://www.freerepublic.com/forum/a3b84f77b74f1.htm

I'll do a little "coaching" with the HTML for pictures and for linking to articles here:

* * * * * * * * *
Pictures:

Here is the template I use for posting pictures:

< CENTER >< IMG SRC="??" height="?" >< BR >< /CENTER >

In the area marked “??” enter the URL Address. In the area marked “?” enter the HEIGHT of the graph image.

“What’s the URL Address?”: To find the URL Address for an image you want to post, go to the image. Right click on the image with your mouse pointer, left click on “Properties”. The window will show the URL Address AND the height and width. Copy and paste the URL Address into the template. Enter the height.

“I did all this and it still doesn’t look right.”: Most likely the image you want to copy has incorrect height/width parameters entered. Copy the URL Address and paste it into the address line in your web browser, click “Go.” That will bring up the image. Then do the “Right click/Properties” on the image and see what the height and width sizes of the image really are.

If you still have problems, send me a Freepmail and tell me what you’re trying to do and what the problem is, and I’ll check it out and help if I can! :O)

Links:

Here is the template I use for posting links:

< a href="??" >?< /a >
In the area marked “??” enter the HTTP address of the site you want to link (that’s the “http://www.FreeRepublic.com” type format address).

In the area marked “?” enter the verbiage you want the link to show in your post.

That’s it! Simple, huh? :O)
* * * * * * * * *
If you have any problems with any of the HTML stuff or anything regarding FreeRepublic.com, please let me know and I’ll help or try to get you help.
