here is a glossary to reference for many html codes that are used frequently, all categorized neatly in one easy to find place!
Text Links
regular link: <a href="url">Link text</a>
link opens in pop-up window: <a href="http://www.yoursite.com/"target="_blank">link text</a>
text link to jump further down the page: <a href="#label">click title to jump</a> <a name="label">see this further down the page!</a>
Image Links
show an image on a page: <img src="your image url here">
image link full size: <a href="url you want the image to link"><img src="your image url"></a>
image link thumbnail: <a href="url you want the image to link"> < img height=100 width=100 src="your image url "></a>
image link detail thumbnail: <a href="detail image url"><img src="full image url"></a> *note: this required two images to work
correctly. a seperate, smaller "detail" image, which links to the full size image.
no blue border around image: <img src="your image url here" border="0"></a>
image link as pop-up window: <a href="url you want the image to link" target="_blank"><img src="your image url"></a>
