How To Make Your Images Clickable

by Cecile Cinco

I received an IM with a message asking for help on how to make images clickable. If I’m not mistaken, it was sent to many, but I’m not sure.

Anyway, I never thought he didn’t know at all since I perceived him to have something to do with web development so HTML would be simple…I assumed.

This mini-tutorial assumes you know basic HTML. You can also make use of it in blogs when you edit using HTML (Wordpress) or CODE (for others).

There are basically 2 parts to make this work: your image URL AND your destination URL

To make a simple explanation…

If your destination URL is http://myblog.com/destination.html

and your image URL is http://myblog.com/image.jpg

your basic code goes like this:

“>
“>

red = part of syntax

As I said, this is basic…barebones….There are other tags that can make it more complicated but as far as making an image clickable, this is it.

Another tip. If you have a thumbnail and you want the bigger picture your destination, just specify your destination URL appropriately…just like what I did to my thumbnail picture in this post above. :)
