J J J, I will post instructions on how to include a pic on your profile, but you will need to have it scanned, or take one with a digital camera. Have fun, don't drink too much, (if that is possible), and if you do, name him after me. Phil

J J J, Courtesy of T L C, On any page on the Internet, including a profile, you can find out what the "code" is (the HTML language) by doing this: right click on the page left click on "view source" You will see the codes for everything. Copy them down on a piece of paper. Let's try it. Open up a second browser and keep this note on half your screen and the other browser on the other half. On the other half, pull up the profile for "purething". He has one of the little boxes. Click on "view source" and you will see, among other things, <script>alert('Welcome to bullrider's profile');</script> This is the language prompt for the computer. If you put this into your profile, you will get an "alert box" that says "Welcome to bullrider's profile". If there is one mistake, one missing space, etc. it will not work. Pictures are the same idea. You find the "address" of the photo by going to a page, right clicking on the photo, then clicking on "view image". This will show the image and at the top of your browser you will see the address of the image. you plug that address into the code, for example, go to this page: pbrnow.com See the "Professional Bullrider's" logo? Right click on it and then click on "view image" and you see the address is this: pbrnow.com That is the "address" for those pictures (AKA "gifs") To put those pictures on your profile, you plug the address into the code like this: <img src=http://www.pbrnow.com/art/logos.3.gif> and you put that code on your profile, somewhere where there is room to put it, like "interests" or whatever. Moving gifs are still gifs, same thing. There is a thread on SI that has references for stuff, one of the posts has links for HTML and how to do this stuff. Search SI for "glossary" and you will get the thread. Check it out. Hope this helps. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Have fun, Phil

J J J, Now courtesy of Catlady, 1. Build a web page free pages are available from GeoCities and Tripod in this case I used Tripod, tripod.com Or many ISPs include web page space, like AOL, CServe, ATT Worldnet most will include a quick home page builder utility of some sort. 2. upload the pictures Usually best to use JPEG or .JPG format use whatever utility the ISP provides to transfer pictures 3. To link to a page from a message, just cut and paste the URL into a message. I threw this page together in about half an hour, using only Tripod's tools. It's crude, but provides a way to display the photos. ( I scanned the pictures a while back ) When I get time I'll pretty it up a bit using FrontPage. members.tripod.com Or a single picture: members.tripod.com to include a picture in your SI profile, use a line of HTML like this: "<img src=http://members.tripod.com/~catlady0/cats/George4.jpg>" without the quotes. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> I would have sent these messages "privately", but for some reason the "send a private message" is not available on your profile. Have you been a naughty girl? I can't imagine taht. Have fun, Phil
