Embedding Still Images

If you wish to embed still images, please send them to us in GIF or JPG format. We will upload them to our server.

Once we e-mail you that your images have been put in a directory specific to your project, you may use the Open Wysiwig editor we've installed (click the "Edit" tab at the top of the page).

To embed an image, click on the icon of the mountain landscape as seen in the toolbar located above your text editor:

Landscape Icon


(In many browsers, if you mouse over the icon found on the toolbar, you will see the text box "Insert Image" appear on your screen, floating above the landscape icon.)

Your link should include something like the following, using the specific parameters we send you.

src="http://tcjournal.org/issues/vol1/dorwick/sample.gif"

In the example above , I would be calling an image named "sample.gif" located in the directory for my project ("dorwick") located in the directory for all media for Volume 1 ("vol1"). Please use the full URL in order to ensure that the browser knows where to find the images.

You can name the jpgs or gifs as you wish. Capitals matter! ("Test.jpg" is NOT the same name as "test.jpg.")

Sample Image:

Technoculture Logo

Here is the code that calls that image:

<img alt="Technoculture Logo" src="http://tcjournal.org/issues/demo/name/tc_logo.gif" border="2" align="middle" hspace="5" vspace="5">

"demo" is the volume; "name" is the subdirectory specific to your project (usually your last name).

Set border to 2 and hspace and vspace to 5. Alignment can be set as you see best for your project.

Please ensure you use the alt tag as you do your HTML, thus including a short textual version of your image.

Following these conventions should cause your images to appear in both the editing window and the view seen by readers.
