Here is your 'Thank You' code:

Let me break it into pieces so we can talk about it.

1] <a href="http://www.girly-tags.net">

5] <a href="http://www.girly-tags.net">
6] Girly Comments & Graphics
7] </a>
8] <br /><br />

The above code gives you a picture that links to a web site [line #2] and a comment line #6] that links to the same web site.

line #2 is the code that specifies the image. If all you want is to place in image in a post, this is all you need! line #1 is the starting part of the link tag and identifies the site the picture will link to. In this case 'www.girly-tags.net'.

line #3 ends the link code started in line #1.

lines #1 & #3 link the picture if you click on it. Line #2 causes the picture to appear on the page.

line #4 is the 'break' tag -- skips a line

line #5 is the starting part of another link tag and idenifies the site the words in line #6 will link to.

line #6 just some words. Could be anything. These are called 'hypertext' because they are clickable [because of lines #5 and #7, which make the link]

line #7 closes the link started in line #5.

line #8 contains 2 'break' tags -- skip 2 lines.

When you go to a site, they may tell you to copy and paste their code. Look at their code before you paste to see what it is. As in this case, if you only wanted the image and not the linking, then the only part you need is line #2.

Text before DIV



Text after DIV

More ideas for using colorful text....

Colorful text displays better on a dark background. To get the above area to have a black [or other color] background, you can used the HTML DIV tag and specify a background color. Here is the code you need:

[place your colorful code here]

Any text before or after the DIV tag will appear with the normal background.
