Tips for adding photos and saving html files
Common Html Tags

1.  Adding photos:
Add your url (web address) to your pictures between the quotation marks.
<img src="url for picture"><br><br>
Include the <br><br> tags if you want your photos to stack.

Adding photos from Photobucket:
Example from www.photobucket.com

  
Select your photo (place a checkmark by name of photo) and click on Generate html and img code

Click on the first or second box. It will automatically highlight the coding.
Right click and then select copy. Paste this coding into the template 
where it says add your photos below.
Be sure to delete the tag<img src="url for picture"> if you use photobucket




2.  An example image tag:

<p align="center">

<img src="http://www.YOURPHOTOHOSTNAME.com/YOURPHOTO.JPG" width="217" height="80"><BR><BR>

</center>
