Well let's get started on lesson two. On this page you are going to learn how to align your images, so you can get them just where you want them. Also on this page we are going to learn how to put sound on your E-mail. In no time at all you are going to have a wonderful looking E-mail. Now let's get going.
Aligning images
The codes for aligning images are used for putting the image where you want it on the page. Let's start off with centering the image. The code below will make your image center in the middle of the page. This is how this code looks,
<<>center<>> <<>img src="url of image"<>> <<>/center<>>
The next code I will show you is how to align your image to the right. The code is the same for aligning left, just put "left" in where "right" is. You really won't have to use this code to much, seeing how most images are automaticly placed on the left. This is the code for aligning images to the right,
<<>img align="right" src="url of image"<>>
You have to play around a little with each of the codes till you get the desired effect your looking for. The more you work with these codes the better you will get.
Resizing Images
Sometimes you might want to resize the image you have. You kinda want to get into the habit of this, because it will let the page load faster if the image is resized. The code for this is as follows,
<<>img src="url of image" height="??" width="??"<>>
Where I have put in the question marks you would want to put in numbers, the smaller the number, the smaller the image. The larger the number, the larger the image. You want to play around with the numbers until you have it where you want it.
The Sound Tag
There a couple different ways to put sound into your E-mail. You can have it autostart, or you can have a clickable speaker icon. The first code that we are going to try is the one with the speaker icon. There are also a couple of different sound files. The first one is the MIDI file. The second is the WAV file. Last, you have a RAM file. --Note please do not use the autostart code for the RAM file, it has been known to freeze up box's. If you want to use a RAM please use the speaker icon code. This code is as follow,
<<>embed src="url of sound"<>>
This should bring up a speaker icon. Whenever the speaker is clicked, you will hear the sound of the file you put in. Now where I have put "url of sound" this is where you put the address of the sound file. How do I get the address? Well first click on to the link of the sound you want, wait until you hear it play. Then hit your "Go To" key, and then hit "Show Last". This should bring up the address in the text box. Just Copy and Paste the address into the code.
Next is the code to autostart the sound file. In this instance the sound file will play automaticly, there will be nothing to click on. The code for this is,
<<>bgsound src="url of sound" loop="??"<>>
Now where I have put loop="??", you put in the number of times you want the sound to be repeated. Let's say you put in 2, that means the sound will be repeated twice.
Alright that is the Sound Tag. Keep in mind though, you have to find LINKABLE files for these codes to work. If they are not linkable you are "Stealing Expensive Bandwith" People can get their sites shut down for this. I will put banner links at the end of the page where you can find LINKABLE Midi's.
Summary
Now let's put everything together that we have learned. We are going to put the Background, Image and Sound all together. And here we go,
<<>html<>> <<>body bgcolor="??" text="??"<>> <<>img src="url of image" height="??" width="??"<>> <<>bgsound src="url of sound" loop="??"<>> <<>/body<>> <<>/html<>>
Well that is Lesson Two. On Lesson Three we will learn how to make a image a clickable link. Also we will learn different fonts for text, and other things for text, like underlining. We are also going to learn how to make different kinds of Marquee's. When you are ready click on to HTML Lesson Three on the sidebar!! As always if there are any questions, feel free to E-mail me!!
