::: yikes! stripes! fruit stripe gum! :::

do you remember that bubble gum? it was my favorite ever!

ANYWAYS.....sorry for lagging on the picture code, people.....this week has been a little crazy....job interviews...helping my friend move in....etc.etc....

but, since today was my day of fun [a.k.a my fashion internship], i am actually not nearly as tired as a typical day from kate spade.

also, i also was holding back on this bit of info, patrially b/c it's somewhat tricky....but we're all intelligent st.ignatius alumnae, so i know y'all can pick this up in no time.....

so here we go:
basically, it is a type of html code. meaning, you insert a type of html "tag" in your blog post [btw....a "post" is the creation of your actual entry...while "publish" is actually placing your "post" onto the "blogspot"].

basic html image tag is: < img src="----------" >

example:
if you want a picture of phil on your entry, and the image is located on www.phil.com, the tag would look like this:
......< img src="http://www.phil.com" >........

this is where the whole image thing gets tricky. you can't just load a pic from your desktop onto the webpage. the image actually has to be located on the internet already, on some other website. which is why it's a good idea to start a online album.

so, if tiff lam wants to post a pic of her world cup hottie...she would do this:
1. go onto the fifaworldcup.com (?) website...
2. locate a page on the site with the pic that she wants....
3. right click onto that image and select "open image in new window"
4. copy website address in new window
5. enter this address in the parentheses area of the basic html image tag.

and after she does that, she types her daily entry...and then hit post...publish...blah blah blah....

and......

viola!
