HTML Help

As my user name would indicate I am a rookie at best any assistance is appreciated.

I am posting a reply on a http://seattle.criagslist.org forum. Craig's list does allow basic html in their messages. I hope someone can tell me how to link a word (without an underline) to a .jpg image.

Thank you. [/url]

Since you cannot place CSS in the <head> you can use inline CSS:
Code: <a href="http://www.loudhost.com" style="text-decoration: none;">Hosting</a>

Thanks, that worked great.

With your assistance I now understand how to link a word to a web page.

Please forgive my ignorance but, is there a way to do the same thing linking the word to an image e.g. a .jpg?

Try:
Code: <a href="http://www.loudhost.com"><img src="images/yourimage.gif" alt="ALT Text"></a>

Thank you Corey. I could not get your second suggestion to work for me (The image showed up rather than the word linking to the image)

I solved my problem by first posting the image else where then useing the first set of code you suggested I linked to that image post.

Not exactly what I wanted to do but in the long run it accomplished what I wanted .

Thanks again.

I believe what you were looking for was: Code: <a href="http://www.example.com/yourimage.gif">linked text</a> And yes, the image has to be hosted somewhere on the internet.
