Posting your Blinkie online
I told you when I posted the tutorial on how to create a blinkie in Photoshop Elements 6 that I would walk you through how to post them online. Well it took me some time to work all the bugs out of it and trully get a grasp of what i had done(how quickly one forgets the steps when you are just amazed you accidently got it right).
First of all you need to upload your saved blinkie to a site like Photobucket to get its unique html code. You will be using the html code only for this so just ignore the other links listed. I suggest opening wordpad or notepad document so that you can copy and paste all th info your going to need in one place.
You will need the part of the code that starts with http: and ends with .gif from the html code that you copied from Photobucket. Now you will also need the url for the site you are wanting the blinkie to link to(I link mine directly to my main page of my Blog).
Now once you have both of those copied onto your wordpad document copy and paste this html code:
<center><a href=”YOUR URL“><img alt=”" width=”150” src=”YOUR BLINKIE HTML CODE” height=”50“/></a><center></center></center>
The words in red is where you want to place YOUR info in this string of code make sure you delete the red words before you place your info there. Now this is assuming that your blinkie is 150 by 50 pixels, if it is a different height and width change the blue text to your blinkie size. You are now ready to post your blinkie anywhere on the web and have it linked directly to your site.
Put it in your email or forum signatures, or place directly in a forum post. Place it on your website or Blog so others can snag it your possibilities are numerous so go out and advertise. Goodnight for now and remember to kiss your babies!
