adding photo in craigslist

<p>Hi,<br>

Many local photographers have images in their craiglist posting (under Creative Services). However, I can't find a way to add a photo when I make my ad. I looked at their help section, but according to the site, photos can only be added for classified listings. Anyone know how to do it?<br>

thanks,<br>

<p>Scott, you have to embed them using HTML. So if you go to your portfolio here, go to the View Image (right click). Get the URL. (http://d6d2h4gfvy8t8.cloudfront.net/5908409-md.jpg). So add the code to your CL ad by using the tag:</p>

<p><img src="http://d6d2h4gfvy8t8.cloudfront.net/5908409-md.jpg" /></p>

<p>It should show on your ad when you save it.</p>

<p>You'll need to use HTML code. Surround the code with a < at the beginning and a > at the end. For the actual image you'll need it hosted elsewhere and need to know its specific location, not just the webpage it's on. Once you have that, you'd write</p>

<blockquote>

<p>img src="http://yourimagelocation.com/jpg" width="333" height="500"</p>

</blockquote>

<p>Surrounded by < > You'd of course use your actual images location and the actual pixel sizes.<br /> Use <strong>br</strong> surrounded by < > for spacing.<br /> If you want your images to be in the center of the ad, then at the beginning of your images use</p>

<blockquote>

<p>div align="center"</p>

</blockquote>

<p>surrounded by < >, but if you do that be sure to end the centering at the end of the add by giving the end command</p>

<blockquote>

<p>/div align="center"</p>

</blockquote>

<p>surrounded by < ><br /> Dont use any spaces between the < and the beginning of the string.</p>

<p>If you google "HTML code for inserting images" or anything else you want to do you'll get a ton of pages to look at. Most complex HTML doesn't play in Craigslist though so just keep it simple.</p>
