B.3. Adding Pictures

To display an image as part of your item description (you do this in step 2 of the Sell Your Item Form, Describe Your Item, Section 5.4.4), all you have to do is specify a source for the image tag, like so: <img src=""> . The source is the Web address of the picture you want; put the address inside the quotation marks, like this:

<img src="http://www.myimagehost.com/myphoto.jpg">

Replace www.myimagehost.com with the Web address of your photo hosting site; replace myphoto.jpg with the actual file name of the photo you want to display.

Here's a neat trick if you want more control over the arrangement of your photos and text. Use align with the image tag to line up your words beside a picture, like this:

<img src="http://www.myimagehost.com/myphoto.jpg" align=left> Line up your text to the right or the left of a picture. This makes your auctions look neater, with less blank space.

Typing align=left puts the image to the left of the words, as shown in Figure B-3, while align=right puts the image to the right of the words.
