Question

How to hyperlink jpeg/gif to my website to send in email

Hi,

I have jpeg/gif ads that I created and I want to send them out as email blasts from my private email. I have no experience in dreamweaver, but I would like someone to give me step by step instructions how to go about importing my jpeg/gif to dreamweaver, coding it correctly, and exporting it properly so that when used in my email it hyperlinks to my website.

 

Thank you!

    You could just sign up for a free mailchimp account or a similar service to be able to send out your emails.  That is the better way.  Of course you want to make sure your list is opt-in so you don't end up with issues, but those are a better path to go down then to try and learn to code HTML emails manually or send it from Outlook or something that won't support your code.

      A bit dated but most of the information is still relevant today.

      #1 Email is not the same as creating a web site.  Dreamweaver is web authoring software, not e-mail creation software.

       

      #2 Many people disable images for security reasons.  A large % of your email list will never see those images. 

       

      #3 You must host images on a public facing web server and reference them with an absolute URL in your markup. 

       

      LINKED IMAGE CODE.

      <!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>EMAIL EXAMPLE</title>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1"><meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
</head>
<body>
<a href="https://example.com/my_newsletter.html"><img src="https://dummyimage.com/300x300" alt="brief image description">Link to the online newsletter.</a>
</body>
</html>

      RESULT:

      What you are asking for goes beyond the parameters of this forum. If you need step by step instructions, then get yourself a qualified instructor or institution. 

       

      Sorry to be blunt, but that is what old geizers do.
