How-to make an image-link on your blog

How to put an image on your blog and make it a link:

First, you much get a copy of the image: right-click and save to disk the image. Then upload it to your own webspace. If you use the URL of the image here, it will freak out Photobucket, and all anyone will see is "Bandwidth exceded, try again later".

I use Flickr. I can also recommend ImageShack if you don't want to register for an account.

Once the image is uploaded to your webspace, note the URL that goes directly to the image, not to a page with the image on it. You can tell the difference because pages usually end with ".htm", or ".html". Images alone end in ".jpg" or ".gif".

You will also need the URL of the page you want the image to link to. In this case, I am going to link back to http://committeetoprotectbloggers.blogspot.com/.

Once you have that infromation, here is what you will need to type into your blog entry field:



I used a screen capture of my text editor to put that up. I don't know how to code it so that it won't automatically become the image-link!
