How to Make a Clickable Image

2009 April 21

by Jackie and Andrea

It’s nice to put images in your lenses, as well as in the bio area of you lens, and of course in the sidebar of your blogs. It’s really cool if you can make the images click out to something someone might want to buy.

Here’s the steps to do that, and then a quick video to show you how.

1. upload your image to someplace like photobucket.

2. Grab the html code for your image from photobucket

3. Replace the image url with your affiliate ulr.

4. Add code where you want it to show up.

In this video I’m am going to use an image in the sidebar of a blogger blog.

Hope this helps you add some great images to your sites. If you have any questions please ask in the comments section.

Images have always been my greatest challenge. I’m a bit confused now. If I change that URL photobucket to my ffiliate link, or whatever how would the image show up? Don’t I need the exact photobucket url for that?
Or do I put the picture in first and then go back to that url to make it clickable?
I hope you understand what I mean.
I have read all sorts of stuff insquidoo about how to just add an extra image besides the one we upload. And I have never managed yet to have it come out right.
Hope you can help me.
Thanks a million

Hey Joyce,

The second url is actually the code to show your image. The code you take from photobucket, as shown in this video, actually links your image back to the image at photobucket.

So by changing the first url in the code you are only changing where the link goes, instead of pointing it to photobucket, you are going to point it to your affiliate product.

As long as you leave the code after the img src part your image will show up.

If that doesn’t make it clear, let me know and I’ll try again.
