Coding a Clickable Thumbnail or URL

From WSGFWiki

Coding a Clickable Thumbnail

NOTE: you must have your picture(s) hosted on a site that allows linking such as Imageshack

[url=PUT #1 LINK HERE][img]PUT #2 LINK HERE[/img][/url]

• #1 link = http:// anysite.com /albums/album30/classicinsgauge.sized.jpg LARGE PIC URL
• #2 link = http:// anysite.com/albums/album30/classicinsgauge.thumb.jpg SMALL PIC URL
• Make sure there are no gaps between inserted link & the coding

Save the following text & use copies of it in any text docement like Word/NotePad to build your clickable thumbnail

Getting File Locations

If you're unsure of the exact URL of an image you've uploaded, follow these steps to determine it's location:

1) Go to the site where the thumbnail (small) picture is hosted & right mouse click it & left mouse click properties

Step #1

2) Then highlight & copy the Address: URL then paste it in the code I gave at SMALL PIC

Step #2

3) Then go to the site where the thumbnail (small) picture is hosted & click on it. Then when the big pic loads (you may have to click it again for it's largest form). Right mouse click it & left mouse click properties & highlight & copy the Address: (URL) then paste it in the code I gave at LARGE PIC

Step #3

Example

Here is an example of what a thumbnail from Imageshack will look like (the image is from this very tutorial):
